The Presidio’s main parade ground grass lawn makes a great picnic site. We’ve been several times and picnicking here is one of those very pleasant, low key “only in San Francisco” experiences complete with beautiful weather & views. This year (2014)  it is much more crowded (still nice however) and the City is now charging $1.25/hr for parking (still plenty of nearby parking, at least behind the buildings, however).

Off the Grid has selected some excellent gourmet food stands. For example, we have enjoyed Sugarfoot Grits, Rosamunde Sausage Grill, Humphry Slocumbe’s ice cream with attitude (e.g., secret breakfast, bourbon & corn flake flavored ice cream), and Johnny Donuts out of San Rafael. See current food stands for more details.

Coffee, wine, beer and even champagne are also freely available at stands. So we recommend you bring a blanket and buy some food.  Several nearby things to do after lunch include The Presidio and walking The Marina including Crissy Field.

Adjacent Crissy Field is Planet Granite (a great gym with boulder climbing and rock wall high climbs) and House of Air (big trampoline park with a dodgeball pit). It’s fun just to look if you are not that sporty yourself.
