(the other) city by the bay.

 

Five favorite things in San Francisco: 

1. Glimpses of the Golden Gate Bridge from the city's many peaks and valleys. 

2. Cute shops, free chocolates, and sunny views of the bay from Ghiradelli Square.

3. Dim sum feasts in Chinatown. Cheap enough to try one of everything.

4. Sea lions.

5. Farmers market at the Ferry Building.
