Velvety roast-duck banh mi (Vietnamese sandwich) gives opera stars something to sing about at this sunny Vietnamese deli, right around the corner from San Francisco's opera house and symphony hall. Hungry divas order theirs with a shrimp-roll side, while tenors in tight corsets opt for five-spice-chicken 'fresh bowls' with vegetables and brown rice. For picnics in Golden Gate Park, visit their Haight location (1671 Haight St).
