SCENE: With the addition of RNM, it’s possible that the famously funky Lower Haight has become a serious dining destination. In classic New York City style, the snug dining room looks up to the lounge above, where you can have appetizers and drinks while watching projections of such films as Blade Runner and The Pink Panther.

EATS: Battalions of pretty patrons fill their bellies with hearty small plates of short ribs, risotto and chicken potpie, as well as thin-crust pizzas topped with everything from baby artichokes to chanterelles and fontina. Wrap it up with the gooey brownie sundae.
