From Diamond Heights you can see Downtown Financial District San Francisco skyline and from Pacific Heights you can see the Marina and the Pacific Ocean and from Sutro Heights you can catch a glimpse of the Farallon Islands and from Bernal Heights you can see the view of the Mission District. One place in Bernal Heights where you can see and find good drink and food is at the Good Life Grocery on Cortland Avenue. The Good Life Grocery has two San Francisco locations. The first one is in Potrero Hill ( by Loard's Ice Cream) and the second location is in Bernal Heights. Inside the Good Life in Bernal Heights you will see organic produce , coffee , ice cream, and seafood. This place reminds of a Bi- Rite/ Whole Foods Market but with a Bernal Heights neighborhood vibe. They also sell food to go like sandwiches ,salads , sushi, and wraps. This is a good place to pick up anything from drinks and food and then go and enjoy the views at Bernal Heights Park of the Mission District and the Downtown San Francisco skyline. Good Life Grocery reminds me of the different city" Bi- Rites" they have a fine wine selection from local vineyards with reds and "whites"to pair well with some culinary "delights "the Good Life is open in the morning and closes at 8pm weekdays and weekend "nights " Then go to a park called "Bernal Heights" , and see the Mission District views and "sites " and on the other side of the park you can see the Bay Bridge and the Downtown "city lights" from a distance as you enjoy the Good Life's tasty drinks and "culinary bites"

After grabbing the drinks and a few snacks, we headed over to the register to pay. My friends paid before us, (meaning my boyfriend and I were next in line to pay,) and our friends waited for us outside. As my boyfriend and I headed out, the so called "manager," stopped us and asked for the beverage we had picked up. I was so confused on what he was asking, to which he specified and asked where my beverage was. I then realized that he was insinuating that I was stealing. I was appalled, and shocked that he would make such accusation. I explained to him how my friends had paid for it, in which he demanded, and seeing where the beverage was. I asked my friends to please return back with the bag, (full of items) and a receipt, to which we showed the manager. The manager still exclaimed, and wanted to know where that beverage was. I told him to never assume or accuse anybody of theft, if he had not witnessed it himself. I too have been a manager of an establishment, and knew that I could not accuse anybody of theft if I had not witnessed it myself, or had any prove. He kept stating over and over that he could see what had happened on the camera which he refused to show me because he knew he was wrong. All it would have taken was for the manager to apologize for his mistake. Which he did not. I was racially profiled. Period. The manger had no other reason to do what he did. And as you could imagine, it ruined my entire night and made me completely upset of being wrongfully accused of such thing.

Don't ever take me to Mardi Gras in New Orleans because I'd probably get really competitive about getting the most beads too. Transfer Market is definitely a neighborhood anchor: This convenience store is open late, the owners are nice, they're very well-stocked, have decent pricing and it's clean. Milk, cold cuts, cereal, beer/wine, snacks, cleaning supplies & even a limited amount of fresh produce with a seriously deep selection of hard liquor with prices that won't gouge you. I can't walk into this market without remembering a four year-old Finn looking at a large display near the door and asking me, "What's a Door-it-toe?" I spent 2 minutes telling him Doritos were "really gross-y" and they tasted "fishy" and "bitter". Well, that didn't work. Sigh.. Transfer Market's a good business. You have a better-than average chance of finding that one item you forgot at Lucky. Lots of metered parking- but beware that yellow-topped meters adjacent to the store on Hayes & Divis run until 6pm (it's 3pm in other parts of the 'hood just a 1/2 block away).
