Instacart: San Francisco
These days, it seems like everything is available as a service – but here’s one that’s actually useful (and practical) on a daily basis – especially if that day happens to be rainy or extremely hectic.

Despite its well-known bike culture and homegrown biking apparel brands – Chrome, Mission Workshop, Betabrand and Levi’s Commuter line were all born here – San Francisco’s offerings for lady cyclists has lagged behind gear made for men.

Jonathan Basker: New York City
What’s your historical San Francisco and New York connection? I moved to San Francisco from Seattle in 2006.

Loudr: San Francisco
While internet radio and music-on-demand services (including SF’s own Pandora and Rdio) are gaining legions of fans and subscribers, it’s not always the best deal for musicians – as noted by everyone from David Byrne to Thom Yorke (who recently removed Radiohead’s entire discography from Spotify). Loudr is trying to give musicians (and especially independent,…
