From local food trucks to boutique chocolate shops to Chinatown to Little Italy, there's something to satisfy all taste buds. While you may be visiting San Francisco to visit all the iconic attractions, don't miss out on the many food offerings of the City by the Bay. We've put together a few foodie activities you don't want to miss.

Off the Grid: This is the food truck events of all food truck events. How many times have you been walking around a major city and wanted all of your food truck options right there? A food truck crawl of sorts. Well that's what you get with Off the Grid. Smaller events take place throughout the week, with updates being given about locations via Facebook and Twitter; however, the main event takes place on Friday nights at Fort Mason. Located in the Marina District, Fort Mason becomes home to most of San Francisco's food trucks every Friday night with a plethora of options, from Korean BBQ to fish tacos to empanadas to fried dumplings to falafel and much more. There's also great live music.

Wine and Cheese Tastings: For wine enthusiasts, there's no better place than Northern California. The inspiration of nearby Sonoma and Napa has made its way to San Francisco with many wine bars, cellars, and wine shops. Almost any weekend you'll find a wine event taking place, although the city also features many wine bars that provide excellent wine and cheese pairings any night of the week. With San Francisco being such a walkable city, map out a few places and turn it into a wine crawl, but leave it to public transportation to get you back to your place safely.
