San Francisco: The Bay Area’s Culinary Gem

San Francisco — “The City” or “SF” but, please, never “San Fran” — is one of America’s best food cities. You’ll find some of the country’s top tasting menus a stone’s throw from affordable street food. And the city’s diverse mix of Italian, Mexican, and Asian residents leads to a dining scene that is robustly international but proudly Californian. It’s also one of America’s best cocktail cities, with more great spots than you can hit in a long weekend. In our three-day itinerary, we’ll take you to classic San Francisco restaurants that are still setting the pace for great food, as well as newcomers that are pushing the city’s dining scene in new directions. Come along for a long weekend of baked goods, burritos, fresh pasta, and tropical drinks, a lineup that will introduce you to the best of what San Francisco has to offer.
