San Francisco

During the first week of August, I took a short trip up to San Francisco with friends for a youth networking event. While I was there, I saw some sights and ate some great food, of course. Our first stop was at the Ferry Building, one of my favorite places in California. The building has been converted into a food marketplace, with small gourmet shops and a few restaurants. It is a foodie's heaven in there. We stopped at Ferry Plaza Seafood for some great oysters and shellfish. We went to the Crookedest Street, saw the Golden Gate Bridge, and passed by the painted ladies (a set of Victorian houses in all different colors). We enjoyed a nice dinner at Wayfare Tavern in downtown where we ordered an enormous amount of food, so I just included a few highlights below. Did you guys know that San Francisco has the most restaurants per square mile of any city in the world?! It had been a few years since the last time I went to San Francisco and I had a wonderful time! Next time I want to add on a trip to Napa Valley as well...but until then, Enjoy!
