San Francisco Bay Area: Your favorite things to do or places to go

In a couple of weeks my mom and dad are coming to visit me for the first time since I moved here and I'd like to make them dinner using something nicer than grocery store meats. Does anyone know of any good butcher shops in the East Bay? Or downtown, if you're not familiar with this side of the bay?

I don't know about the East Bay, but try Little City Meats at Stockton and Vallejo (just off Columbus) in North Beach. It is worth the trip. They will also tell you how to cook it and write cooking instructions/recipes on the outside of the butcher paper wrap for you.

Take cash and it is closed on Sundays.
