Top Ten: SF on a Sunny Day

My friend Chris Dowell gave me an idea of having a “Top 10” list at least once a week. To jumpstart the weekly list, thought I’d have my first list today.

As I sat here working, I noticed that it looked pretty sunny outside for SF. Every San Franciscan should take advantage of the rare occasions we have beautiful weather with clear blue skies. Although I’m stuck indoors, this got me thinking about the top 10 things to do in SF when the weather isn’t gloomy or foggy. Based on living here for about a year and my own personal experiences, here’s what I’ve narrowed it down to:

10. Enjoy lunch or brunch with mimosas and bloody mary’s at an outdoor patio area including Zeitgeist, Pier 23 and Americano.

9. Wander around the outdoor shopping areas/streets including Union, Chestnut, Haight and Fillmore. (I’m kind of a shopaholic).

8. Chill in GG Park. Take in the Japanese tea garden, bike ride or a little Frisbee golf while you’re there.

7. Head over to Medjool’s in the Mission for a rooftop mojito and a breathtaking panoramic view of Downtown SF.

6. Game Day? Check out a Giants game at the ballpark and head over to Momo’s across the street to chill on the patio.

5. Ride a bike across the GG Bridge.

4. Take a ferry to Sausalito or head to Ocean Beach.

3. Enjoy a beautiful view of the city at Dolores Park and top it off with a scoop of unique ice cream from Bi-Rite Creamery.

2. Take a trip to Angel Island and enjoy a bit of hiking, sightseeing and camping.

1. Play bocce ball at Crissy Field in the Marina. Whether you’re on the grass or on the beach, nothing like looking at the GG Bridge, Sausalito, multiple sailboats and San Francisco up on the hill while playing a fun-filled game of bocce.

Thanks for the idea, Chris!
