SAN FRANCISCO
It's no wonder there are dozens of songs written about San Francisco. It is the city “where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars,” as Tony Bennett poetically sings. And once you see the light shimmering on the bay, Journey’s song “Lights” will take on a personal meaning. Find a moment to follow Ottis Redding’s footsteps and enjoy some time “sittin’ on the dock of the bay watchin’ the tide, roll away.” Just like the tunes from the past, this month we celebrate the heritage of our city and some of the wonderful traditions that continue into present day. Read all about where you can get an old-school lather and shave served with a whiskey chaser. For a realtime history tour, join Emperor Norton’s Fantastic San Francisco Time Machine.

Q: What are your favorite legacy restaurants?
“KIMONO REFASHIONED” is a new exhibition at the Asian Art Museum that explores the impact of kimono on global fashion, from the Victorian era to the digital age. Spotlighting more than 40 ensembles, accessories and artworks from close to 30 designers and artists—including innovators like Christian Louboutin, Paul Poiret, Coco Chanel, Issey Miyake and Tom Ford—”Kimono Refashioned” tells the story of the globally interconnected world of high fashion. On view from Feb. 8 through May 5, 2019, “Kimono Refashioned” reveals how the two-dimensional structure, cutting-edge textiles and decorative motifs inspired by kimono have shifted the course of contemporary fashion. Featuring apparel from the collection of the renowned Kyoto Costume Institute in Japan. 200 Larkin St., 415.581.3500, asianart.org

A: The Buena Vista Cafe serves San Francisco's finest Irish Coffee. The Cliff House combines rich history and panoramic views. The Tonga Room and Hurricane Bar was originally an indoor swimming pool and now serves excellent mai-tais and specialty cocktails, and features a live floating band. Q: Where do you send guests that want to experience local life?
A: The Mission District: stroll down Valencia Street and shop, explore some of the city's great restaurants and relax with friends and people watch at Dolores Park. Q: What do you consider 100% San Franciscan?
A: The culture and diversity. Things come and go, but there is something about the people in this city. People here are open, warm and creative. Q: What are your top 3 must-do local activities?
A: Eat like a local at the Saturday Farmers Market at the Ferry Building. Hike Lands End and
soak in stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and coastline. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city at Golden Gate Park where you can visit the California Academy of Sciences and deYoung museum, learn how to dance with Lindy in the Park, skate on the outdoor roller rink or play a game of disc golf. Q: Do you have any other advice to share?
A: Take advantage of the free walking tours offered in the city. They offer an amazing look into San Francisco's history as well as what the local communities are up to now. It's one of the best ways to get an “insider’s view” of San Francisco. If you have time to see a show I highly recommend Beach Blanket Babylon. BEST TIP Come with an open mind, explore all the city has to offer, and San Francisco will have a piece of your heart.

FIND THE BEST IN ALAMEDA ONE BLOCK AT A TIME / BY EMMA KRASOV
On Alameda Island in the San Francisco Bay, you’ll find the city of Alameda. Known as the “Jewel by the Bay” for its small-town feel, scenic shoreline, dynamic art scene, specialty shops and beautiful recreation areas, it has more Victorian houses that survived the 1906 earthquake than any other place in the San Francisco Bay Area. You can experience all of this charm and more at the Alameda South Shore Center, which offers one-stop shopping and dining.

MEN are finally figuring out what women always knew—taking a quick break with a trip to a salon can be a fabulous afternoon treat. We've got you covered if you find yourself in need of some man-pampering while visiting San Francisco. Throwback barbershops that incorporate age-old grooming techniques with modern touches are the go-to spots for these sessions. Enjoy flat-screen televisions, mood music and more while you indulge in some selfcare. All told, about a dozen men’s salons offer services beyond a basic buzz. Here are a few of our favorites around town.
(OPPOSITE PAGE) COURTESY CABLE CAR CLOTHIERS (THIS PAGE, FROM TOP) COURTESY WINGTIP (2); COURTESY CABLE CAR CLOTHIERS
CABLE CAR CLOTHIERS The inimitable Cable Car Clothiers bills itself as San Francisco’s British goods store since 1939, and it remains one of the only places in the city men can purchase threads imported from the U.K. One of the most beloved amenities at Cable Car Clothiers is the in-store two-chair barbershop, which specializes in old-world flare. Barbers Alex Frias and Luis Larromana use an old-school Latherizer machine to create shaving cream on demand; the magic substance enables them to use straight-edge razors to deliver shaves that leave skin as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Haircuts are available too; prices for each service start at $45. 110 Sutter St., 415.933.3826 (Luis) or 925.818.7566 (Alex), cablecarclothiers.com
There’s no such thing as a standard haircut at Brogan & Son, located on the western edge of the Embarcadero Center near the Financial District. Instead, the experience starts with a two-minute head and neck massage, moves into a moisturizing treatment using a hot towel soaked in tea tree and eucalyptus oils, and incorporates a straight-edge razor shave. Owner Aidan Brogan has been cutting hair for more than 20 years and isn’t intimidated by tradition. As such, his is the only barbershop on this list to employ female barbers. 425 C Battery St., 415.398.2272, broganandson.com
WINGTIP
1512 BARBERSHOP
While most of the Wingtip social club is only open to members, the barbershop is available to anyone—provided you can get an appointment with Master Barber and 25-year veteran Joe Roberts. All appointments begin with a glass of beer, whiskey, coffee or water; after that Roberts works his magic with the straight razor or clippers (whichever you prefer). The signature Wingtip Shave includes a hot-towel and a short head massage. Haircut and shave packages are available and start around $100. For a post-buzz drink at the bar upstairs, you’ll have to fork over a membership fee and monthly dues. 550 Montgomery St., 415.956.0506, store.wingtip.com/barbershop
Salvatore Cimino is a third-generation master barber, which means cutting hair and shaving faces is practically in his blood. That explains the lack of frills in Cimino’s onechair barbershop. Cimino offers traditional haircuts and straight-edge razor shaves by appointment Tuesday through Saturday. He also operates a tiny distillery out of the back of his shop—if you ask and you tip nicely, he might even pour you a sample. The shop relocated in early January to Dogpatch from Lower Nob Hill, where it was named after its address on Pine Street. Although the address is different, the impeccable service is still the same. 1532 20th St., 415.286.4371, 1512barbershop.com
