I'm in San Francisco this week for Web 2.0 Expo. My partners at Praized and I will be attending the conference (more like attending the parties) and to that end, we've put together a Web2Places guide/blog highlighting the places, people and parties nearby. If you've got recommendations for restaurants or bars in SoMa, or anywhere in SF for that matter, please leave a comment. I'll also be visiting with MoCo friends Philip at CITIZEN:Citizen, Joe at Ecolect and Sally of SallyTV. Thanks Sally for the Blue Bottling Coffee Co. tip, I made a b line for the kiosk when we got in and yes, it does edge out Peet's for best coffee in SF IMHO. My cabbie also suggested Citizen Cake around the corner for a complement, another great tip, muchas gracias senor!
Hi Harry,
Welcome back to SF. If you want some amazing pastry to go with that BlueBottle coffee check out Mission Beach Cafe at 14th and Guerrero. They serve BlueBottle and heavenly pastries. Then come by TV2ART (We're less than 1/2 block away). We would love to see you.

In my opinion the coffee (and atmosphere) at the original Philz Coffee at 24th and Folsom beats Blue Bottle any day!
You should give it a try if you can make it that deep into the Mission. There is a Philz at 4th and Berry (near Townsend) that is closer to Moscone than having to venture into the Mission.

Enjoy!
Good luck at the seminar!
Hey, Suppenkuche and Bar Jules are awesome, just a couple blocks up from the Blue Bottle kiosk you visited. The new Blue Bottle downtown next to Mint Plaza (sketchy but cute) is the one to see. The coffee system so nicely lauded in the NYTimes is there in all it's glory. Joe's in NY is using the Blue Bottle drip system btw. Pretty cool. A couple blocks south of the Hayes Valley coffee kiosk you hit is Zuni, no intro needed, and Hotel Biron, a snazzy little wine bar. Sometimes too little.
Busy week for 2.0 peeps. Glass House tonight, Pecha Kucha on Wednesday, Yelle on Thursday. All about the advil.
Check out City Beer Store in soma on Folsom between 7th and 8th...super chill atmosphere and great selection of beer. Basil Thai across the street is tasty and cheap for pre or post drink meal.
Hi!
I think you must visit the "W" Hotel which has at the ground floor a wine bar with a very fine selections of wine and good finger food. The name of the winery is very kool: "XYZ". Then very close there is the SF MOMA museum of modern arts and the Yerba Buena Center a nice small park with fountains and a Starbucks coffe.
Enjoy your stay in SF it's a wonderful town where I've lived for almost 3years.
PS: If you go over Market Street @ Castro Street there is a wonderful place called Cafè Flore a place all made of wood and a good coffee and good sweets.
hop on caltrain or rent a hybrid to palo alto!
we've got blue bottle coffee at fraiche yogurt on emerson street near university.
