Marina, San Francisco · restaurant
A 6-stool coffee shop when Al and Joe Scoma opened it at Pier 47 in 1965, now a three-generation waterfront institution with its own commercial fishing boat and a fish-receiving station on the working pier. The Lazy Man's Cioppino — crab, scallops, shrimp, clams, mussels, and calamari from Mama Scoma's tomato broth, all pre-shelled — is what everyone orders at least once; the 1965 Manhattan, aged 1,965 hours in oak, is how to start.
