Bernal Heights


 You will think you're in some idyllic small town, strolling along Cortland past the bookshop, the fruit market, the tavern, the cafe...




 ...wandering the steep side streets lined with little wooden houses...




 ...and then all of a sudden- wow- a breathtaking view of San Francisco laid out before you and you're standing there dazed in the middle of the street


This is Bernal Heights, the laidback low-key neighbourhood clinging to the hill with the clump of trees just south of the Mission


 Be sure to stop for a coffee at Progressive Grounds.  Follow the hallway to the back room with the warm gold and burgundy walls, benches with mismatched pillows, Moroccan lanterns dangling from the ceiling, stuffed animals crowding the mantle of the fireplace, sunlight streaming in the patio door...
