fishii's Must Visits in San Francisco (Part 1 of ?)

 I loved a lot of San Francisco, and even though everything is getting a little blurred around the edges by now, a few things still stand out. This post will feature one big attraction for me...

Farmer's Market at Ferry Building

it's more than just Thursday, but should check the Ferry Building website before going

This Farmers Market feature local farms and their produce. It does seem like there's considerable variety in the produce (both organic and not) offered. Looked really fresh to me, the samples they offered were more than satisfying.

i miss those cherries.

As a visitor, though, it's difficult to keep these delicious goodies until you get home. But don't let that keep you from visiting the market! On top of that, there's a plethora of restaurants inside the Ferry Building. I would definitely recommend Boulette's Larder, bumhead brother and I both enjoyed the meal a lot. The interior was also beautiful; there's an open kitchen so we could watch all the action! Extremely fresh ingredients. Unfortunately they asked us not to take photos.

the action inside. another see those two coffee cups? blue bottle café, not to be missed.

Blue Bottle Café has a few locations in San Francisco. I quite liked their coffee (and it was an attempt to stay away from the ubiquitous Starbucks), and they sourced (almost?) all their food locally (more on that in another post). Out the Door is a casual version of Slanted Door, and it serves Asian cuisine. Their porridge / congee was featured on the San Francisco 7x7 Big Eats list. I thought it was OK, but felt that the cilantro was a little overpowering. Please note, however, that I am not a fan of cilantro! Do give it a try. Slanted Door also has at least one more location in San Francisco.

The other side of the Ferry Building opens up to the Bay Bridge. It's worth the extra few steps through the building, I promise!

Afterwards, we just went to a few museums and walked around a little. Dinner will be featured separately! (though this already turned into half a food post)
