One of the most scenic cities on the planet and a leader in retail
innovation, San Francisco now boasts more restaurants per capita than
any other US city. But whether you are an inveterate shopper or an
unrepentant foodie, it has much more to offer the casual visitor. With
numerous and diverse neighborhoods, such as Japantown, Haight-Ashbury
and the Castro, each with its own distinct character and makeup, and a
variety of landscapes to explore, from the natural beauty of Golden Gate
Park and Lands End to the serenity of Alcatraz island. Explore the
organic appeal of the General Store with its amazing assortment of new
and vintage home goods and then head up the street for a sundowner and
dinner surrounded by the beach dcor of Outerlands. Or marvel at the
incredible murals of Clarion Alley before stepping back in time to dance
the night away at the Make Out Room in the Mission. Newer destinations
such as 24th Street or Dog Patch with the unique galleries at Minnesota
Street Project keep the assortment fresh. Round it out with world-class
museums, architecture and music festivals and you have one of the
greatest cities on Earth.
