Dreamforce is next week and, yes, there will be keynotes, sessions, parties, volunteer opportunities and networking to do. But, hey, you’re in San Francisco. Take some time, even just to clear your head from the hubbub of Dreamforce, and have some fun in the City by the Bay. Here are six things to do, all within a short distance of Dreamforce – now there’s no excuse.
- Stroll the Marketplace at the historic Ferry Building (One Ferry Building), offering “everything from artisan cheeses to the freshest of local fish.” Lots of dining and shopping as well.
- Enjoy the BEST cup of coffee at the Blue Bottle Coffee in the Ferry Building or at Mint Plaza (66 Mint Plaza).
- Dine at the Zuni Café (1658 Market St), one of the BEST fine-dining restaurants in San Francisco, and an institution at 35 years old!
- Sip a GREAT martini at Bix Supper Club (56 Gold Street) in the Financial District.
- Take a walk. The city is SO walkable. Walk through the gates of Chinatown along Grant Avenue (at Bush Street) all the way to North Beach. Along the way, poke into the stores and do some shopping. When you get to North Beach, visit the old Beat Poets’ haunts such as Café Trieste or City Lights Books. Finish your walk at Coit Tower and take in a beautiful view of the Bay and see the 1930s murals inside the newly renovated Tower.
- Visit the Contemporary Jewish Museum or the Asian Art Museum, both of which are hosting some exhibits of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts, during its renovation, as well as their own. These museums are all just a few short blocks from the Moscone Center.
