San Francisco

This is a privately owned public space, that has breathtaking views and is very well hidden in the busy city of San Francisco. Due to the "hiddenness" of the location, this is the perfect place for locals to hang out.

Coffee & snacks are served in this cafe. There is also work space with hourly-rate WiFi, printers & ergonomic seating, making it the perfect place for locals to go and get work done.

These stairs are beautifully decorated, as they lead you up to the park above it. It's a great place to take your friends to show them a nice sunset. It is a little bit of a walk, but even locals can benefit from the extra steps. :)

This also makes for a great 360 degree view of the city: Golden Gate Bridge on the left, Angel Island and Alcatraz ahead, FiDi on the right and the marina behind.

Cinnaholic is an acclaimed pastry shop which has over 30 flavors of award-winning gourmet cinnamon rolls! According to locals, Cinnaholic is a must shop, and then shop again experience. Everything there is mouthwateringly delicious, customizable, and simply melts in my mouth. Start with a basic cinnamon bun, very good by itself, add from a large selection of glazes, frostings, toppings, and enjoy!

Clarion Alley is located in a small street in San Francisco notable for the murals painted by the Clarion Alley Mural Project. It's simply street art at it's best.

If you're especially lucky, you might even visit when some of the artists are there and you can watch them in action or talk to them about their work.
