@rycaut - I'm a Bay Area native and have lived in SF for 18 years. I can personally vouch for all of your recommendations. Fantastic post! Hats off to you. Well done.
I also might add...
The Sentinel on New Mongomery (btwn Market and Mission) for muffins that will change. your. life. As well as sandwiches that will inspire you to greatness. But only on Friday for the Con. They aren't open on weekends, sadly.
From Wiki:
Bates began submitting ideas for comic book covers to DC Comics at the age of 13, and a number of them were bought and published, the first as the cover to Superman #167 (February 1964). Bates began to sell stories to DC when he was 17.[2]
Bates is best known for his work for DC Comics on such titles as Action Comics, Captain Atom, The Flash, Legion of Super-Heroes and Superman. He began working for the publisher in 1963 and continued to do so up until the early 1990s. His other work includes the comic strips The Lone Ranger (1980-1983), Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1981-1983), and Disney's Gargoyles during the 1990s. In 2008 he returned after a more than 15 year absence to write True Believers, a limited series for Marvel Comics, about a team trying to get to the bottom of secrets and rumours in the Marvel Universe.[3]
Bates appeared in his own comics several times, along side superheroes like the Silver Age version of The Flash and the Justice League of America.
He also was head scriptwriter on the 1980s-1990s live action Superboy television series, and co-wrote (with Mario Puzo and John Briley) the 1992 film Christopher Columbus: The Discovery, produced by Superman: The Movie producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind.
