Traveler alumnus and Intelligent Travel blog founder Emily King is mildly obsessed with two things: San Francisco and food. Here, she shares her passions for both.

Life has pulled me to the Bay Area twice this past summer. As friends can attest, I left my heart there the first go round, and when I returned to retrieve it, it stole my stomach too. Oh, the food in San Francisco! After too many meals and too much money spent, I'm back home with an aching palate (and an unfriendly number on the scale). Should you find yourself in SF in the near future, here are my top 10 recommendations, broken down by category, after the jump.

Washington D.C. is My City

The first place I take a visitor from out of town is the Lincoln Memorial. Sounds cliché, but I still think it's the most magical place in the city. The other must-see is the Library of Congress.

When I crave onion soup, I always go to Café du Parc. When I crave a milkshake, I head to Good Stuff Eatery for their Toasted Marshmallow hand-spun shake.

To escape, I head to Charlottesville, VA.

If I want to feel cultured, I go to the Studio Theatre. Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll runs through June 7--buy tickets, you'll love it!

For complete quiet, I can hide away on Theodore Roosevelt Island. It's one of the few nature havens in the city.
