Ferry Building Marketplace
Address: One Ferry Building
City: San Francisco
Phone: 415-693-0996
Summary: Built in 1898, the ferry building has survived two major earthquakes and efforts to demolish it. It was restored and revitalized beginning in the mid-1990’s. Since 2003, people have been coming to the ferry building for gourmet restaurants, dozens of specialty shops, and a sprawling outdoors farmers’ market sponsored by a non-profit organization which promotes sustainable local farming.

Castro / Mission
1745 Folsom Street
San Francisco CA
P: 415.863.0620
Do you want to experience a little piece of 1960’s San Francisco? This worker-owned cooperative in the Mission is one of the most environmentally conscious, politically correct groceries you’ll ever come across. It makes the Whole Foods Market feel aristocratic. But, rather than being too dogmatic, the store is brimming full of interesting stuff from the healthiest of produce to a holistic apothecary. If you are a health nut, this is a great place to connect with all kinds of alternative therapies. Just don’t ask where the steak is as there’s no meats in this gigantic warehouse of a store.

Embarcadero
Spans a 6 block radius from the Embarcadero/Drumm St.
San Francisco CA
P: 415.772.0700
Some people compare this 4-building retail/office complex with what it feels
like being in Manhattan. The city’s best foreign film theater complex (with 4 theaters) is on the 2nd floor of Embarcadero 1. During the Christmas holidays, the Kristi Yamaguchi ice skating rink is set up in Justin
Herman Plaza in front of the locally-reviled Vaillancourt Fountain – this is also a good spot to catch some music and arts & crafts vendors during the
better weather season. More than 100 retailers are located on the lower floors of Embarcadero Center with
most being open from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.

Haight-Ashbury
1855 Haight Street
San Francisco CA
P: 415.831.1200
What an inventive use for a former voluminous bowling alley (which, by the way, was called “rock ‘n bowl”)! The largest independent record store in the country, Amoeba is a favorite with every visiting musician as you’ll find rare posters, videos, records and used CD’s here. They also have live shows occasionally. If you want to know what’s happening musically in town, this is the place.

Marina
Union Street between Van Ness Avenue and Steiner Street
San Francisco CA
The large number of stores and pleasant upscale neighborhood make this an ideal place to stroll and window shop. More stylish than Fillmore Street and more youthful than Sacramento Street, this block has the widest variety of shopping of any neighborhood in the city. Many good restaurants in the area include Betelnut (2030 Union Street 415.929.8855 Chinese), Balboa Café (3199 Fillmore Street) 415.921.3944 (American), and Plump Jack (3138 Fillmore Street) 415.563.4755 (continental)

Sacramento Street between Lyon and Spruce Streets
San Francisco CA
Subtle and refined, with a slightly shabby chic appeal, Sacramento Street’s shopping district is perfectly located between two of the city’s most expensive neighborhoods, Presidio Heights and Pacific Heights. Key highlights are the Sarah Shaw boutique, Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers, and The Grocery Store. Also check out La Table (3640 Sacramento between Locust and Spruce) 415.345.8600 or Garibaldi’s (347 Presidio Avenue) 415.563.8841 for fine dining. Stores are primarily found between Lyon and Spruce Streets.
