Synopsis

Discover the less-well-known side of San Francisco and enjoy funky shops and eateries, truly unique museums and galleries, and obscure theater and music venues--plus often-neglected but equally fascinating aspects of well-known attractions in the City by the Bay. Soon you will munching focaccia bread from a specialty bakery in business since 1911, hanging out at the bar where Kerouac was a regular, and looking beyond Alcatraz to Angel Island, entry point for tens of thousands of Asian immigrants and now a great place to bike and hike. Wherever you roam, this book will help you expand your vision off the beaten path.
