Our editorial director spent 72 hours in the City by the Bay to check in with influencers and entrepreneurial women taking SF by storm-- and do a little research on her own. We're sharing the best spots for meetings, the most welcoming coffee hangs, dinners, drinks, and where to nab that free wifi. 

9-5 CHIC AYN SUNDSTROM'S SF RECOMMENDATIONS

When Anh Sundstrom landed her first job as a marketing assistant for a small medical textbook publisher by way of a Craigslist ad, she couldn't have anticipated the career she'd have ahead of her. In 2009, Ahn launched the incredibly popular style blog 9to5chic, inspired by her love of shopping, maximizing her wardrobe options, and sprucing up the day to night uniform. The success of her blog is not only a rewarding creative outlet for Anh, but also became the platform for her current job: marketing director of Destination: Tiburon. 

WHERE TO JAVA BEFORE YOUR MEETING

If you’re taking a stroll through Restaurant Row, aka Chestnut Street, you’ll have to be sure to take a visit to these roasters. They’re rather modest looking compared to the rest of the Marina, which makes them one of the most welcoming coffee spots in the neighborhood.
