The Mission is one of the most culturally and historically rich neighborhoods in the city with some of the best things to do in San Francisco. It’s also packed with the buzziest spate of bars and restaurants around—some critically-acclaimed standbys, others just-opened (and already swarmed). That mingling of old and new makes the Mission one of the city’s most dynamic ’hoods. Valencia Street is lined with restaurants and boutiques, while Mission Street, running parallel, boasts the best tacos and burritos around. At night, the neighborhood is awash in live music, from the Chapel—a retrofitted mortuary turned concert venue—to Amnesia, an intimate beer bar with a penchant for bluegrass and jazz.
