SAN FRANCISCO

It’s hard to know where to start in SF. It’s a city that has changed dramatically in the decade that I’ve really gotten to know it. The architecture, landscape, food and culture is like no other and each neighborhood deserves its own deep dive, if not a book. What you’ll find below are some of the highlights from recent visits and a few recommendations from friends who live there.
