It’s been a blast watching San Francisco wake from its pandemic slumber. Earlier this year, one reporter lamented about finding food after 9 or 10 p.m. The result was one of our first guides, pointing party people to the best late-night eateries around the city.
Since then, San Francisco has come back to life. We spent 2022 profiling our favorite spots and mapping them out in dozens of The Standard Guides, directing readers to wine bars, independent bookstores, picnic spots, weed dispensaries and many more places to eat, drink, shop and play around the city.
Check out the list below of 25 of The Standard Guides to San Francisco for 2022—and keep an eye out for more to come in 2023.
