The article highlights several iconic San Francisco restaurants that offer comfort food and nostalgic experiences to residents. Despite high living costs and the city's infamous fog, these eateries like House of Prime Rib, Thanh Long, and Bix serve as essential spots for locals. House of Prime Rib, an institution since 1949, offers a traditional dining experience, while Thanh Long's crab dishes provide a messy, hands-on dining distraction. Bix draws visitors with its old-world charm, as it transports diners back in time, establishing a fondness for the city amidst its challenges.
Getting hands-deep in a pile of roast crab at Thanh Long is a great distraction from the fact that today you rode MUNI next to a venture capitalist unironically wearing a VR headset.
Coming to Bix is like going back to the days way before Salesforce Tower was sticking out of the skyline. This two-story Jackson Square spot leans heavily into old-school charm.
