The holiday season can be a wonderful time to give back to the community. As the end of the year rolls around, here are some of my reccomendations for organizations on the west side to volunteer with or donate to.

Andytown Coffee Roasters has built its identity around making the everyday feel special, and no drink captures that spirit more than the Snowy Plover. What started as an “offbeat creation” – espresso poured over sparkling water with a generous topping of whipped cream – has grown into a signature drink that people seek year-round. It is simple enough to order without thinking twice, but playful enough to remind you that coffee can be a small surprise in the middle of an ordinary day.
As the weather finally warms up in San Francisco, here is how best to spend a beautiful day in the Sunset.
For a perfect date night in the Sunset, start your evening with pre-dinner drinks at Palm City – a beloved, independently owned wine bar and deli sitting on Irving Street. Opened in 2020 by husband-and-wife team Dennis Cantwell and Monica Wong, the shop quickly became more than just a pandemic-era pivot – it’s now a neighborhood staple known for its warm atmosphere, great wine and massive hoagies.
Try Studio Shop is a cozy, women-owned boutique tucked away on Irving Street at Funston Avenue in San Francisco’s Inner Sunset. Run by sisters Ari and Poy Ariyapakdee, the shop blends the feel of a curated gallery with the warmth of a neighborhood gem.
