Patricia's Green offers a heavenly refuge from the bustling center of Hayes Valley. While the neighborhood has quickly taken a trendy turn with restaurants, boutiques, and bars, the center of it all remains a green sanctuary. Dogs come in and out of this park every day to mingle with friends, and people gather to share a cup of coffee.

The pop-ups nearby include the Juice Shop and Ritual Coffee Roasters, which see regulars every day. The park hosts art installations which come and go every few months, this time featuring a beautiful wooden piece built for Burning Man.

Visitors write notes to those who have passed on, or people jot down fleeting thoughts. The park is a beautiful centerpiece to this growing neighborhood and is worth spending an afternoon in.

Damnfine Pizza

Best Pizza West of Divis

The name of the business, for once, is no lie, it is pretty dang fine. A personal favorite is the Pig in the Woods: pancetta, enoki, garlic, fresh mozzarella, and truffle.
