I need a detailed list of places please! BART only gives me access to the less desirable parts of the city
Get out at Glen Park and and there's a the quaint Glen Park Village.
Get out at Balboa Park and head over a few blocks up Ocean for another neighborhood row of shops.
Or get on Muni Metro and take the KLM to West Portal. Or keep riding to Stonestown and do your shopping at Target, Wholefoods, or TJs, then go see a movie at the Regal.
Hop on the N and ride all the way out to La Playa and get yourself a cup of coffee and a sandwich at Java Beach. Then walk around the Sunset and see just how sleepy the western side is!
