- My favorite local hidden treasure you shouldn't miss:
- Marina Green - past the yacht club - the secret wave organ!
- My perfect day spent in the San Francisco Bay Area:
- I would start off with a walk on the Marina Green because I live so close to the shoreline (how lucky can one be!). I would then walk over to North Beach and treat myself to lunch at Café Devine (next to Washington's Square) which used to be a chemist store (there is an actual vault in the restroom where the chemist's kept their drugs!). I would then walk off my delicious lunch by walking over to the Art Institute on Chestnut Street to see the fabulous view from the secret café terrace. I would then take the #30 Muni bus to enjoy the views at the Palace of Fine Arts. I would then end the day by enjoying a cocktail and then dinner at one of the three new restaurants in the Presidio (and check out the new George Lucas studios). A perfect day.
