"Cafe Zoetrope, Chinatown North Beach by Volume. Located on the ground floor of the anodized-copper Zoetrope building owned by film director Francis Ford Coopola, this cozy cafe/restaurant is the perfect place to have a nice glass of vino rosso with some pasta while checking out the classic movie posters that cover the walls. Many a famous filmmaker and writer have rented workspaces on the floors above, so you might sit next to one—or even Francis himself—if your timing is right. (Just don't ask him about the smell of napalm in the morning.)"
