Stuart is an amazing man!! Ive had the pleasure of reading his book when I first moved to San Francisco. Let’s just say it was my bible for a few months. Stuart’s blogs, books, and videos gives advice to people like you and me--- broke ass college students. His Book “BrokeAssStuart: A Guide to cheaply living in San Francisco,” is organized by the districts in San Francisco. Each section includes cheap eats, bars, events, places to see and more. His blog continues in the books spirit and is one of the first things I read every morning.
A user friendly and very helpful website! Yelp is full of personal reviews by ordinary people and is full of information of what experiences people have at restaurants. Yelp breaks down places by neighborhood, styles of food, prices, a rating system and more. I use this website to find local eats all the time! It’s a great indicator of what you’re getting yourself into when going to a new place around the corner or all the way downtown.
Zagat.com is a nationwide company that reviews hotels, bars, nightlife in many of the major cities across the US. Zagat has a wide array of services. They visit establishments and give descriptions, opinions and what makes the place unique. If you want to know how a restaurant really tastes, you need to visit a zagat review page.
SF Gate is a local paper that has a lot of reviews on local eats. Michael Bauer is the main editor for the Gate and writes really quirky but critical reviews. SF Gate promotes a lot of small independent restaurants (the places I love the most). SF Gate blogs are continually updated with new restaurants and free to cheap events that you can attend.
When you think of the Mafia, you usually depict gangsters in Cadillac’s. The Food Mafia is sort of like that, but with a pen instead of a caddy. They write reviews (sometimes really harsh) on local eats in San Francisco. They visit restaurants and give details about the restaurant that you don’t see on many other sites. They focus on food and prices, but also décor and the vibe of restaurants. I visited some of the recommendations on the website, and lets just say my round belly approved.
One of my favorite channels on TV! Food network is a great resource for recipes, cooking tips and even lifestyle changes involving food. This helpful website is easy to use and has numerous options for the style of cooking you’re trying to achieve. Many of the networks chefs have their own restaurants and some even here in San Francisco.
A reputable blogger who covers lots of SF eats. Her price range is a little steep for me, but her choices are amazing! Kelsey is a feverishly blogger who is not afraid to speak her mind when it come to spending money on food. She believes that when you spend money at a restaurant, you should get what you pay for, and she is right. She breaks down establishments by food, style, accessibility, price range and much more.
Another Bay Area Website dedicated to the wonderful world of food and drinks. Urbanspoon does a wide variety of reviews that can be funny and informational. They even have “special features,” section that talks about restaurants that have a quirky twist like--- BYOB, outdoor, vegan, movies, theater, music and more.
Even though groupon is a website dedicated to savings. It still is a great website to give you the opportunity to eat at places you might not be able to afford. Groupon has daily deals on a variety of things, but check out the food section if you want to find a place near you that you might not have ever tired.
