San Francisco is a feast for the senses. There are still ways you can treat yourself to the sights, sounds, and tastes of the city while we shelter in place to #flattenthecurve. Here are some terrific films, TV shows, and documentaries about or featuring San Francisco that you can enjoy—along with some perfect local food pairings, if you happen to be close by.

"Ant-Man and the Wasp"
This isn't the first or only superhero movie to take place in San Francisco, but it's definitely one of the most memorable. Who could forget Paul Rudd's Ant-Man super-sizing himself to chase after a Blue & Gold Fleet ferry? Watch this action-packed favorite on Netflix with some take-out from Scoma's, a Fisherman's Wharf staple for generations. Their seafood is always fresh, and their cocktails can now be included with your order. If you're further away, get today's catch from your favorite seafood spot.

"Bullitt"
Who could forget "Bullitt"’s iconic car chase scenes showing off the beautiful vistas—and steep streets—of San Francisco? See this 1968 thriller on Amazon Prime Video for $2.99. Order in from North Beach's Tony’s Pizza Napoletana or any great pizza place near you to complete the experience.

Films with Pride
Celebrate Pride all year with these next three films. Local Oscar-winning filmmaker Rob Epstein directed both "The Times of Harvey Milk" and "Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt".

Speaking of Pride, we could not move on without singing the praises of two of the most iconic series from San Francisco, "Tales of the City" (1993) and "Tales of the City" (2019), both available on Netflix. Dive into the drama with the (bio)logical family on Barbary Lane while enjoying cocktails and yummy Oaxacan food from Mexcalito in Russian Hill, or your favorite local spot.

"Vertigo"
