Where To Eat When You're Visiting San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"At some point, you’ll probably end up walking up Columbus Avenue doing North Beach things, like grabbing a scoop of gelato and taking pictures of Coit Tower. And if it happens to be around lunchtime, stop at Molinari Delicatessen. This old-school Italian deli and grocery store churns out fantastic sandwiches, stuffed with high-quality cured meats. You can order off the menu, which has things like the Renzo with prosciutto and hot coppa or the South Beach with turkey and provolone, or make your own sandwich, which should always include the excellent basil-garlic spread. And if you’ve never tried Dutch crunch, a slightly sweet roll with a crackly rice flour and sugar topping (and a Bay Area invention), let your introduction happen here." - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway
