Sample some of the area’s culinary delights at the famed Ferry Building or ride a cable car to North Beach, the city’s Italian neighborhood, where you can enjoy a big bowl of cioppino at local stalwart Sotto Mare.
If you need some literary inspiration, nearby City Lights is one of the most revered bookstores in the country, selling thousands of titles since its founding by beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti in 1953.
