I just arrived at SF for vacation today. I thought i ask HN readers in SF, where do you guys get your beer, coffee, food & hang out?

I know that Epicenter is a very popular coffee shop/bar that a lot of coders go to.

Are you looking for a place to work, or to meet people, or what?

And how long are you in town for?

Mostly to meet friends and eat good food. Plus, i heard so much about the mission district. I just have to check it myself. I ll be staying for couple of days.

In portland, there are plenty of bar w/ wireless, perfect for hacking w/ friends. I'm hoping for similar experience in mission/soma area.

Most coffee shops in this city have wifi.

Ritual Roasters is pretty much the prototypical startup-hangout coffee shop.

Also, this coming week is WWDC, there's probably a lot of mac-related parties that will be happening.

Awesome, will check out ritual rooster as well.

What's the address of this Epicenter?

Thank you for the epicenter suggestion. I'll definitely check it out.

Maybe make a post on HN and try to get a HN meetup going on at Epicenter?

heading down to areas in San Jose, like Mountain View, Cupertino, etc. yields tons of people in every cafe talking / working on tech. Going to a random cafe in Mountain View, you'll be sure to hear people talking about something related to tech and code.

What's the best public transportation to go to mountain view? Isn't it relatively far from SF?
