Forget conventional travel guides and discover the "real" San
Francisco!
She loves Art Deco and the latest techno music. She grows organic
vegetables on her rooftops and has some of the greatest cuisine in the
world. Whether you've already fallen for the city that inspired Jack
Kerouac, Harvey Milk and Twitter, or you're getting ready for your first
encounter, this book will be a revelation. Get ready to meet San
Francisco. You'll go exploring with Marie-Joëlle Parent, who knows the
city like an old friend. She'll take you for picnics at the top of its
skyscraper and to surfing lessons at cozy beaches. She'll bring you into
secret vineyards and invite you for an unforgettable meal, with the
Golden Gate Bridge as a backdrop. You can check out countercultural
hotspots and the headquarters of Google; visit a forest with
thousand-year-old redwoods and the house-museum of a legendary artist;
sample the most authentic pastries in Japantown; and comb through the
racks of a store that's every hipster's ultimate dream. You'll have more
than enough reasons to fall in love with the city that's as eccentric as
it is irresistible.
