I always like to round out my TIME in Big Sur with a day or two in SAN FRANCISCO - it’s like a buffer at the end of the trip before you get thrown into the ULTRA fast pace of New York.
Go
…explore the different neighborhoods—I like Grant Avenue in Chinatown; North Beach, Haight-Ashbury and Sausalito.
…take a walk around the Ferry Building Marketplace, there’s always something going on, and there are endless lunch options—Acme Bread, Cowgirl Creamery, farmers markets and more.
…have a drink at Tonga Room—it’s one of those crazy places that I adore, lagoon and all.
See
…the de Young Museum—the building itself, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, is a masterpiece.
