CenterNetworks offers their choices for local businesses around the Moscone Center.  As they say, "around the Moscone Center in San Francisco where the Web 2.0 Expo is being held are numerous great spots to help the conference attendee. However there are also even more spots which cater to tourists and convention attendees, that alas do not have great food or service.  So a few suggestions and a local, foodies, guide to SOMA near the Moscone Center."

They go on to suggest the following places:

Coffee/Tea

Samovar Tea
Blue Bottle Coffee

Restaurants

Canton Seafood
Tara
Straits Cafe

Tech Supplies

Apple Store
Central Computer


Anyone has other interesting recommendations?

This is a good place to start, the event itself, Web 2.0 Expo, is taking place at the Moscone West Convention Center . The convention center is in the SoMa section of San Francisco (short for South of Market, ie, the neighborhood South of Market Street).
