LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN TRAVELERS KNOW WHERE ™

elcome to the fi rst issue of WhereTraveler magazine, which has been in the making for 83 years. Where magazine, our flagship publication, has been the traveler’s friend since it was first published in 1936. It’s been a great ride but, as with any voyage, one can’t stay in the same place. With the April 2019 issue, we embark on an exciting new adventure as Where takes on a new look and a new name. Like its predecessor, WhereTraveler magazine continues our tradition of offering the best insider information about the local market but with a dynamic new design that speaks to today’s traveler. Even the most experienced traveler knows that having a local friend with inside knowledge of a destination makes a trip all the more special, someone who not only knows the essential, not-tobe-missed sights but also the city’s hidden treasures. For millions of travelers each year, that friend is WhereTraveler magazine, providing valuable advice through print and digital products that cover more than 100 cities, making WhereTraveler the world’s premier travel brand. The new look is sleek and modern, as represented by the new logo, and the compact size makes the magazine conveniently portable. Inside is the same great content we have always provided but in a more concise model, packed with useful information in a fun and visually dramatic format. We show you the best places to shop and dine, the landmarks and attractions not to be missed. We guide you to experiences that will help you make the most of your visit. Our redesigned
Guide section now includes up to 50 percent more listings. Once you have explored the city you are in, WhereTraveler will help you prepare for your next trip. See our new Where Next page, featuring photos from markets around the nation where you will also find WhereTraveler magazine. Then visit our website, wheretraveler. com, which offers travel information on 100 destinations around the world. I hope you enjoy this debut issue of WhereTraveler magazine and that you will look for it at your next destination.

Any baseball fan will tell you that April is the best month of the year thanks to the beginning of baseball season. But baseball is not the only sport you can find in the San Francisco Bay Area. Here’s when and where sports lovers can catch, not just baseball, but also basketball, golf, sailing and the last of the season’s ice hockey action. LAURIE JO MILLER FARR

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS
AT&T Park may have a new name, but Oracle Park is the still same place, with the best ballpark views in the nation, not to mention some of the best food. (Don’t miss the signature garlic fries.) San Francisco Giants’ Opening Day vs. the Tampa Bay Rays is a three-game series on April
5, 6 and 7. It’s followed by a dozen more April home games including the highly anticipated weekend series against the New York Yankees on April 26, 27 and 28. Oracle Park is a convenient walk from Downtown, or get there via a streetcar along the Embarcadero. 24 WILLIE MAYS PLAZA, 415.972.2000, WWW.MLB.COM/GIANTS
Where Now
This month’s action begins on April Fools’ Day when the Oakland A’s host the Boston Red Sox in a four-game series at the Oakland Coliseum. In eight more home games this month, the A’s take on the Houston Astros, Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers. On non-game days, book a behind-the-scenes tour to see where the hit movie “Moneyball” was filmed. Get to Oakland Coliseum via BART or take AC Transit, a scheduled commuter bus line. 7000 COLISEUM WAY, OAKLAND, 510.638.4900, WWW.MLB.COM/ATHLETICS

SAN JOSE SHARKS
There are just three days left this month to see the Golden State Warriors defend the NBA Championship at the Oracle Arena before the regular season ends. See them battle against the Denver Nuggets on April 2, followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers on April 5 and the LA Clippers on April 7. You don’t want to miss the energy and excitement of the Warriors and their fans at a home game, so grab your tickets as soon as possible as games are likely to sell out.
Spring may be here, but they’re still skating on ice at the “Shark Tank” in San Jose. The final home game of the regular season falls on April 6, when the San Jose Sharks take on Colorado Avalanche at the SAP Center. Bonus: this game is fan appreciation night. All attendees will receive a “Game of Jones” figure to celebrate. Get to the game via Caltrain’s Diridon Station, which is just across the street from the stadium, a striking glass pyramid 50 miles south of San Francisco.

WORLD SAILING NATIONS CUP GRAND FINAL
Professional soccer has a home in Silicon Valley at Avaya Stadium where the San Jose Earthquakes play. The stadium has exceptionally good views because the seat rise is the steepest of any stadium in Major League Soccer, and, at 310 feet, it also has the longest outdoor bar in North America. See the Earthquakes in two homes games this month. On April 6, they play against the Portland Timbers, and on April 20 they face off against Sporting Kansas City.
No fewer than 144 of the world’s best women golfers descend on San Francisco to compete for a $1.8 million purse. The LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship takes place from April 28 through May 5, at the historic Lake Merced Golf Club. Returning to the field is former world number one, Lydia Ko, who won the inaugural 2018 championship in an incredible sudden death playoff. The venue is just south of the city borders.
Over 100 of the world’s top-ranked skippers set sail on San Francisco Bay April 9-14. Ten countries in the Open Division and ten countries in the Women’s Division will compete in J/22 type boats for the 9th annual World Sailing Nations Cup hosted by the St. Francis Yacht Club. Spectators should head down to the waterfront at Crissy Field for the best—and free—viewing opportunities.
