"For excellent cocktails and snacky plates that can be finished relatively quickly (you know, in case the person you're with starts spouting conspiracy theories), suggest meeting up at True Laurel. The Mission cocktail bar incorporates things like redwood tips into their rotating menu of delicious drinks, and has a small food menu of light bites like candied nuts, a great patty melt, and a meyer lemon curd tartlet." - Ricky Rodriguez, Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
