This bakery has the best cinnamon raisin bread I've ever had! They also make great sandwiches and have a full-service restaurant next door. Medici has been around forever; my parents used to go on dates here!

Drinks & Nightlife
The Promontory is a trendy bar/restaurant/venue and has some of the best, local music in the city. It also serves delicious food and makes some of the best cocktails around. My favorite is the "gin and juice." It's also great for brunch.
