The only thing extreme about Extreme Pizza is its mediocrity. Oh snap, did I just say that? Well, they kinda set themselves up for that didn't they? By not making good pizza. If I had a place called Extreme anything, whatever it was I made would be crazy. Your head would be reeling. It would effect you emotionally and physically. Or in the very least, leave an impression. The one positive thing I'll say is that once, a homeless guy gave us a leftover pizza that they'd given him for free for helping take out the trash or something. So, there is something to say about crappy pizza because can you imagine just giving away good pizza?

Could be one of the cleanest Taquerias in the Mission. As such, people think it's worth the extra money and call this place their favorite. But let's be honest – what's up with those chips? They're multicolored (cool) but have the strangest consistency and crunch. Are they even made out of corn? I can't understand that people like these chips. Or the food for that matter. It's not bad, but not that great. I've eaten there a bunch. Maybe I just haven't ordered the right thing. Sigh.

If you want to see a truly amazing sight, stand outside the Endup on a Sunday morning, at noon. That's when they shut the club down and all the 24-hour party tweekers are ejected into the harsh light of day. Hooo boy, it's something to see! Don’t get me wrong, I love staying up all night, into the morning, delirious with sleep deprivation… but I guess I've never taken the kind of drugs or been dedicated enough to the dance floor to take it to that level that I can hack the Endup, keep the party going even after all the other places are closed, to keep working it that hardcore. But it's a club everyone should go at least once to check out the scene.

If you want to impress your East Coast transplant friends, take them to Connecticut Yankee. Not so much for the Dickens here, as much as crazy New England sports memorabilia. The way they've got the walls covered over the top even for your average Boston sports bar. It's a good place for like minded individuals to come and watch the game, be it the Pats, Sox, Bruins or… what's that other team? Great fries.

Coco's has all the trappings of a regular old café. They serve Trieste coffee. They have yummy fresh baked goods. The place even looks cute with movie posters on the wall. But mostly, it's a place where the Spanish speaking residents of deep Mission go. Not so much for the coffee drinking types who populate online restaurant review sites, people of the sort who would tend to go to a whiter café like Nervous Dog, across the street. Strange how certain demographics just work out that way.

It's inconceivable how much crap is made in China and other manufacturing countries and sent over here to sell in the U.S.. When a big shipment of something or other can't get sold at WalMart or who knows what happens to it, but you've got a million units of blenders and you got to move 'em out of inventory before the next shipment comes, Big Lots steps in and buys the whole lot of them and then sells whatever comes their way at dirt cheap prices. One thing I'd say is that the food here is really sketchy. Yes, they have food. How does it end up at Big Lots? Why is it so cheap? How OLD is it? Yikes. But if you want a blender or a boombox for $20 bucks, Big Lots might just be your lucky day.

Given the divisive nature of Gratitude, I'm surprised I'm the first to review. I'd figure there'd be a whole discussion group about this place. I started hearing about this café from Yoga teachers. Yoga teachers are famously picky about what they eat because, by trade, they are self obsessed with their bodies. Gratitude takes you-are-what-you-eat to an obnoxious new level. I'd have to write a whole chapter here to really cover all the ins and outs of the place, but rest assured, it's not as bad as detractors of Gratitude would make it out to be and not the perfect Valhalla of food as its fans claim. Everything's healthy, café-food pricey, served in small portions (maybe not for yoga teachers, but for me). The taste ranges from totally nasty to tasteless to really yummy. The brown rice dishes are a good place to start. Watch out for the coffee…

Since it's a few blocks from Mission Ave, I always forget about Atlas and how nice it is to hang out there and get work done. Salient features include outdoor seating, magazine rack, best (not so cheap) café food of the cafes. I think they even have the self serve coffee station where you just bring your own cup, fill up, pay on the honor system and take off. Which, when you're already late for work and you see the line of people at such and such café and the barista dude is yucking it up and taking his time… this is almost worth going out of your way to just be able to run in and run out, coffee in hand, time saved...

Lord help you if you come into this place set on finding a specific book. I'm not even sure if the guy who runs this place has even a vague idea of what's buried under the piles and stacked way up high on the shelves. Adobe is about bibliophilic adventure. Indiana Jones and the search for the lost book. There is so much cool stuff here, you'll find books you've been meaning to read forever the moment you walk in. The longer you stay and are willing to unearth the depths, the greater the awards you'll reap.

I'm sure you have a perfectly good excuse for still owning a car even though you live in San Francisco. You've got to get to work. You gotta get to your mama's house. You need to drop the kids off at yoga class. Whatever. When you're ready to stop making excuses and get rid of that gas-guzzling thing, City Car Share is here to help. Now, you can pay to use a car only when you actually need one and on all those other days you don't, you can take public trans, or bike, or stay at home and you're still not paying insurance, car payments, so on and so forth for your vehicle to just sit there and lose value and break and make you fatter and accrue parking tickets. Car Share is a much more humane way to live.
