MO Destinations: San Francisco

Be My Guest
Kimberly Miller, Destination MO, Novembre 5, 2013

Whether you're wandering around the chic shops and art galleries, riding a cable car or gazing out to the Blue Bay, this is a city where you might leave - or find - your heart.

 

Known for its views, world-class chefs and Silicon Valley technology companies that have redefined communication, San Francisco brims with casual sophistication and cutting-edge culture. To call it the culinary capital of California would be a claim easily substantiated, but the adventure in exploring this hippie geek-meets-boho chic melting pot does not stop there...

 

Cool Culture

 

With a living green rooftop and albino alligator, the California Academy of Sciences - new to Golden Gate Park—will mesmerise. Across the way is the de Young Museum, a sibling of the Legion of Honor and exhibitor of American art and international textiles and costumes. After touring SMOMA's impressive collection of modern and contemporary art, venture through Union Square's galleries. Start with Frankel Gallery for photography lovers, Serge Sorokko Gallery for the Damien Hirst-obsessed, and ending with John Berggruen Gallery and Hackett Mill, ground zero for Bay Area figurative work. When it comes to music, the critics flock to Yoshi's to hear emerging talent in jazz.
