Amazing bookstore not only for being a historical reference point for the Beat Movement (the owner went on trial for obscenity after publishing Ginsberg's Howl), but it manages to stay relevant, have a great selection of books and interesting events with friendly and intelligent staff. Check their site for events and readings: http://www.citylights.com/bookstore/?fa=books_events

Allen Ginsberg read his poetry there. If you are hungry, go across the street to Rose Pistola:
But bring a crowd - it is family style - huge portions.
