SF Activity: Walk along the Embarcadero to the Marina
The Embarcadero is next to the water, and if you're willing to walk (or eScooter!), is a walkway that can get you to many classic San Francisco spots. You'll pass the Exploratorium (a children's museum that is low key great and also has an adults only night on Thursdays https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/calendar/after-dark), Fisherman's Wharf (touristy, but fun to see once), Ghiradelli's Square (the shop gives out free tastes!), and Fort Mason in the Marina (Grace's old neighborhood).
SF Activity: Ferry Building
The Ferry Market Building in SF is a cute market right on the water. Check out the shops and restaurants, which are filled with both tourists and locals. On Sunday mornings, you'll find a giant farmers market set up around the plaza. From here, you can also hop on a ferry to surrounding areas, including Larkspur, which is a 19 min drive to our venue.
SF Neighborhood: Nob Hill
John's old neighborhood haunts include: Zekis Bar: Where Grace and John went on their first date: https://www.zekisbar.com/ Peacekeeper: Grace and John's favorite bar in the neighborhood, and an inspiration for their signature drink! https://www.peacekeepersf.com/ Del Popolo: Pizza spot and delicious. We recommend making a reservation: https://www.delpopolosf.com/
SF Neighborhood: Russian Hill / Pork Gulch
Russian Hill is a fun neighborhood to check out, and has a more local vibe. John and I's go-to weekend plans usually included checking out the shops on Polk Street, buying picnic goods and drinks at Cheese Plus (https://cheeseplus.com/), and grabbing a spot at Lafayette Park to eat and take in the local scene. We recommend bringing something to sit on! Favorite spots also include House of Sushi, which is a hole-in-the-wall sushi spot with extremely reasonable prices (https://www.yelp.com/biz/house-of-sushi-san-francisco)!
