Located right on Market Street along the Pride parade route, The Melt is serving up rainbow grilled cheese. This Greek eatery serves some of the best gyros in the Mission that fill you up without weighing you down on a hot weekend (like, for instance, Pride). Valencia Street is a great place to start, as it's smack dab in the middle of Dolores Park and Civic Center. But drinking on an empty stomach is a super bad idea! Party smarter with some protein and carbs in your system, ideally from a central location.
If you've attended Pride before, then you know just how much drinking takes place during the color-filled weekend (and believe me, we'll get to that).
