Urban Outfitters is a combination of Diesel and Crate & Barrel with an edge -- if that clarifies anything. So, if you are looking for trendy clothes or some small items to your house, this place is worth of visit.

The target group for the shop is 20/30-something, so do not expect to find any easy... More >

Whole Foods Market in SoMa area is different from the most grocery stores found in the downtown San Francisco: it has full selection of fruits, fish and meat, and no sodas. They stock organic foods, too.

For travellers, the fruit selection is especially nice; you can pick a lot of good stuff that... More >
