Staying at the Seal Rock Inn?
You passed through Little Russia on Geary on your way, with two or three
eateries. There are a lot more restaurants on Clement Street.

Saturday morning is a good time to see the hustle and bustle of Clement
Street, SF's second Chinatown. Start with a pastry and coffee at
Schubert Bakery, then check out the new, remaindered, and used books
at Green Apple. Excellent selection of used cookbooks, and beer, wine,
and cocktail books.

They have an annex for media and used fiction.
