- My perfect day spent in the San Francisco Bay Area:
- Start the morning by grabbing a cup of coffee and a fresh sourdough roll and heading to the Embarcadero to watch The City wake up, then walk over to Artfibers (124 Sutter Street, 956-6319) to add to my yarn stash and take a knitting class or head over to Washington Square Park (Stockton and Columbus Streets) to read a book and bask in the sunshine (or fog). In the afternoon, i'd catch a film at the Castro Theater (429 Castro Street,621-6120), a massage at Kabuki Springs & Spa, (1750 Geary Boulevard, 922-6000) an exhibit at the SF MOMA, (151 Third, 357-4000) or take a walk down the Filbert Steps. In the evening, we'd watch the sunset at Land's End, have a nice,hearty Italian dinner at Cafe Tiramisu (28 Belden Place, 421-7044), have cocktails with friends or a lively discussion over a bottle of red wine at Cafe Bastille (22 Belden Place,986-5673), live music, a club with a great DJ, a play at A.C.T. or another movie.
