Restaurants & Food in the Bay Area
Bay Area kitchens spread across a handful of dense, walkable strips rather than one restaurant district: 24th Street and Valencia in the Mission, Clement and Irving out in the avenues, Grant and Stockton through Chinatown, and Telegraph and International Boulevard over in Oakland. Burmese, Nepali, Salvadoran, Filipino, Cape Verdean and Sichuan kitchens sit within a few blocks of each other. Small rooms book up and many close between lunch and dinner, so check hours before you cross the bay for one.

Bars & Nightlife in the Bay Area
Bars across San Francisco and the East Bay run from Castro institutions with landmark status to natural wine rooms in Dogpatch and taprooms in West Oakland. Last call is 2am and BART stops running before many nights end, so work out how you are getting home first. Several of these rooms run regular drag, trivia and DJ calendars worth checking before you pick a night.

Bakeries in the Bay Area
Bakers around the Bay Area work in everything from Chinatown egg-tart counters to Castro cookie windows and weekend-only pop-ups at farmers markets. Weekend batches sell out early and several of these bakers keep no storefront at all, selling through markets or preorder. Custom cakes normally want a week or more of notice.

Community & Nonprofit in the Bay Area
Nonprofits and community organizations based in San Francisco and the East Bay, covering youth arts, housing, family support and neighborhood programming. What each one does varies more than the category name suggests, so read the organization's own description before assuming it covers your situation. Several take volunteers as readily as donations.

Beauty & Personal Care in the Bay Area
Salons, studios and skincare makers around San Francisco and Oakland, some working from a single chair and others selling what they make online. Appointment books at the smaller studios run weeks out and several take deposits. Where a maker sells product rather than services, being local is not a requirement.
Walnut Creek, CA · Concord, CA
Arts & Entertainment in the Bay Area
Galleries, studios and experience venues across San Francisco and Oakland, including spaces that double as shops or cafes. Oakland's First Friday and the Mission's gallery openings are the easiest way to see several in one evening. Opening hours at the smaller galleries are genuinely limited, so check before making the trip.

Retail & Shops in the Bay Area
Independent shops around the Bay Area cluster on Valencia, Fillmore, Polk and Grand Avenue in Oakland, and many are maker-run rather than resellers. A good number sell online as well as in person, so a small shop is not necessarily a local-only one. Stock at the maker-run labels moves in drops rather than seasons.
