It's very crowded on the weekends and holidays, especially with long lines at all restrooms and at certain restaurants, cafes, and ice cream shops. I recommend having fresh oysters from Hog Oysters, checking out the bookstore, and taking home baked goods. Watch out for the birds when you're dining on an outdoor patio. You can conveniently take the ferry to Marin County, Oakland/Alameda, Richmond, and Vallejo. Take BART from Embarcadero Station or take any bus to any neighborhood in SF. I prefer taking public transportation here since parking is hectic and lots of jaywalkers.

It's funny when I was a kid I never visited the Ferry Building…read more It was just a cool building we would drive or walk by when visiting San Francisco with a very cool sign and memorable tower. When I was an adult and I took the ferry from Vallejo and it dropped me off at the Ferry Building for the first time, that all changed. Just about every visit I make to San Francisco begins with a visit to the Ferry Building these days. It's such a wonderful place. It's full of incredible merchants, awesome food vendors and restaurants. There are amazing pastry and chocolate vendors in the Ferry Building. It has some of the nicest, cleanest public bathrooms in the city. Their coffee shops and ice cream shops are elite there. They have a famous vendor there that sells authentic empanadas that are truly a must visit spot. My favorite bite in the Ferry Building is this vendor that sells Filipino-Infused Burritos-they are just splendid. Let's not forget at its core the Ferry Building is the spot where one catches a ferry into the city as many thousands of people do daily. I find it's a great way to get into the city from all over the Bay Area. These are just a few of the reasons why I love the Ferry Building and why I recommend it as a must-visit spot whenever visiting San Francisco.

I was told that Saturday has a lot more vendors. There were just a few stands outside the building, A highlight was the Chafolio tea company who offered free tastings. After sampling teas even more than once, I go the Lychee Black Tea - it was the freshest tea I have ever tasted and it has a nice, light fruit flavor. I also scored a huge almond croissant from a vendor. The Ferry Building is beautiful and worth a stop and has bars, restaurants, and an art exhibit upstairs. Just don't come on a weekday and expect fresh fruit.

Although Summer is officially over and the Fall has started the good news is Farmers Markets in SF are available all four seasons. There is one Farmers Market on Saturday which ends at 2pm. It's located in the heart of the North Beach Neighborhood and it's called the North Beach Farmers Market. On a San Francisco stroll on the last Saturday of the Summer I landed between Columbus and Powell on Greenwich. This farmer has lots of fruits and vegetables available from local farms when in season like cherries and purple plums . They also have local bakeries along with local arts and crafts vendors. You will also find local seafood with fish and shrimp for purchase. They also food at the farmers market like musubi and sushi. This is a good place to find good food all four seasons in SF. Some Farmers Markets have different vendors like North Beach with "West Side Kitchen" and others around in SF like Saltwater Bakeshop at Ferry Building and many others from the "Mission" to the "Western Edition"the drink and food they offer you will be "enrichen" Here you will find seafood and food that salty and "rich" you will find flakey bread to put cheese on it and also "fish" the food experience do "enrich"and it's located between Powell and Columbus on the street in SF called "Greenwich"

Our second order was the fresh catch of the week : Petrale Sole. Beautiful fillets cleaned and ready, also came loaded with four amazing recipes to try from. I ended up making Sole Meuniere and it was delicious. Can't wait for more deliveries and to try local fish in my area. These guys are the BEST.

With Fresh Catch, it's (often) local fisher-people that they receive the goods from. I've also had clam and mussels from Washington and Soft Shell Shrimp from Louisiana (which was flash frozen on the boat it was picked up). I love (1) helping the local seafood community, (2) the gorgeous freshness of the seafood (my first order was Tomales Bay oysters that we ate on the half shell with champagne, it was a beautiful Wednesday...), (3) the ease in which I get my order (Hub Point 15 minutes from the house for the win!), (4) being able to choose half orders and full orders, (5) the fact that this is non-subscription, so I get to choose whether I want to participate every week. I'll mention that they do have home deliveries as an option as well! I think this is a wonderful way to support our locals and eat healthy! Also - a great way to try new seafood out!

But now that I'm trying to get a little more plant-based, I have a little more motivation these days, plus I have this neat canvas bag I got for free from the Halal Guys at 53rd and 6th in Manhattan. So now I can carry produce and compete with all those elderly Chinese women with their flimsy pink bags. Oh yes, that last Chinese eggplant is MINE, old lady! I actually come here for the produce I never see at Safeway or even Whole Foods like Romanesco zucchini. Y'know, the big gray-green ones with the prominent ribbing and nutty taste. No inappropriate jokes please. I also come here to get at least a couple of bunches of Chinese long beans and those silky-firm white peaches. I have to say I have no problem filling up my Halal Guys bag with fresh goodies because the vendors here always have quality produce (see my photo gallery). It's worth coming just for the free samples but expect to get an elbow in the face from the more aggressive cheapskates. Nothing is ever free, is it? The market fits snugly into the ground floor of the Crocker Galleria every Thursday from 11AM to 3PM (plus Tuesdays during the summer). Come early if you want your pick of the freshest produce, but get your stinking hands off my Romanesco zucchini. That's mine!

Designed by local artists & later auctioned off in fundraising efforts to support SF General Hospital. There's a convenient underground parking garage. During the holidays there's a huge Christmas tree donated by Macy's. And an ice skating rink. Don't forget the shopping. It's not what it used to be but it's slowly rebounding.
