To call specialty grocer Bi-Rite a grocery store is technically appropriate, but doesn’t capture how special it is. All the food is top-notch, gourmet stuff; organic and local when the store can get it. The staff gives out samples also: oranges, pears, persimmons, apples and all kinds of cheeses. Prices aren’t low, but the quality makes up for it. This is the perfect place to buy groceries for a picnic with your children in sunny Dolores Park, just a few blocks away.

Don’t want to prepare the food for a picnic in Golden Gate Park? The view of the sea at this beachside eatery is incredible, especially if your children don’t live near an ocean. Food is family friendly, with fish & chips and beer. Beach Chalet is a better alternative to the more crowded, overpriced Cliff House across the street. This place is especially good for brunch, but not on weekends, as it can get crowded.
