Why I love Mission Bay
Briefly

Mission Bay features a mix of high-end dining and casual eats, like hot dog stands and Michelin-star chefs, creating a vibrant scene. The area is characterized by modern architecture but retains a sense of personality amid urban renewal. Visitors can find enjoyment at various venues, including Spark Social with food trucks and games. Sports fans frequent the area despite challenges like high parking fees. Mission Rock exemplifies the draw of new developments featuring luxury amenities, showcasing the area's appeal to both locals and visitors.
Mission Bay isn't actually soulless - it's just playing hard to get. It's Cirque du Soleil defying gravity while I struggle to climb the stairs at Chase Center.
Not all San Francisco residents have been to Mission Bay, but all sports fans have. They know the pain of paying $40 for parking.
Spark Social is a rotating parade of food trucks, lawn games, and fire pits - then suddenly, I'm roped into a game of giant Jenga with people I just met.
Mission Rock is proof that if you build it, they will come - as long as 'it' includes expensive coffee and at least one Michelin-adjacent restaurant.
