With thealmost upon us, the rest of the country is turning its gaze towards San Francisco. As with any large national event that draws hordes of out-of-town visitors, there will be guides aplenty touting what to do and where to eat while visiting the City by the Bay.

Earlier today it was the New York Times’ turn, in which they offered their own tips for having “A San Francisco Super Bowl Experience, With or Without a Ticket.”

As far as dining, Times writer Justin Sablich sought the advice of an “insider,” Benjamin Hoffman, whom the story describes as a “Brooklynite who grew up in the East Bay.” Of particular note is their burrito discussion, wherein Mr. Hoffman points out a lack of good burritos in his current life:

For a lower-key and classic San Francisco dining experience, Mr. Hoffman recommends El Farolito in the Mission District. “It’s almost clichéd to say it’s ‘the burrito place,’ but it really is ‘the burrito place’ for a reason,” Mr. Hoffman said, but also added, “if you find any taqueria in the Mission you’re doing well.”

San Francisco: Home of burritos.
