ways to feel like we've been transported in time. One sure-fire way is through photographs. Admittedly, I was only a toddler on those fateful days 50 years ago when we lost two American icons, but thanks to San Francisco Art Exchange (458 Geary St.) and the current photographic exhibition “Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy: Commemorating Two Great Americans,” I can feel what others must have felt during that time… the inspiration that became aspiration based on what these two men you can stop in to view recognizable photographs, as well as some rarely or neverseen pieces. And did I mention that these photographs are also for sale? MORRIS COMMUNICATIONS CHAIRMAN William S. Morris III PRESIDENT & CEO William S. Morris IV

SAN FRANCISCO

Welcome to San Francisco! One of the many things I love about living in this city is exploring all the fascinating new neighborhood businesses. Creative entrepreneurs are always opening new concepts, and one of my current favorites is Stonemill Matcha on Valencia Street in the Mission. I’d describe this Japanese cafe as a spare and pristine temple to matcha. It serves stone-ground matcha straight from Kyoto in gorgeous, handmade ceramics, some of which are available for purchase. Enjoy the matcha in hot and cold beverages (some ﬁzzy!), exquisite wagashi ( Japanese confections) from pastry chef Mikiko Yui and savory Japanese dishes. Japanophiles, matcha lovers and anyone looking for a place to unwind, add this spot to your itinerary!

Q: What activities do you suggest to families with younger children?

Q: Any tips for older kids?

A: At the Exploratorium located at Pier 15 on the beautiful Embarcadero, you can experience the inside of a tornado or even walk on a bridge completely surrounded by fog. Exhibits are displayed at child’s eye level, and children are encouraged to touch and explore. And the Koret Children’s Quarter and Carousel in Golden Gate Park is a playground with a huge historical slide and a climbing wall shaped like ocean waves.

“Fort Mason also offers a great opportunity for a beautiful San Francisco sunset.”

A: Rent bikes and ride along the spectacular waterfront. Continue across the Golden Gate Bridge and down to the picturesque village of Sausalito. With bikes in tow, travel back to San Francisco on the ferry. For another adventure, spend time at the California Academy of Sciences. Visit the aquarium, planetarium and natural history museum. The “Reef Expedition” is playing on the Morrison Planetarium’s full-dome screen.

Q: Any tips for travelers who want to explore off the beaten path?

A: The Mission District is the historic Latino neighborhood, with incredible eateries and street art murals decorating Clarion and Balmy alleys. Or the Friday night Off the Grid event at Fort Mason is a roaming mobile food extravaganza with delicious, innovative street food. Fort Mason also offers a great opportunity for a beautiful San Francisco sunset.

THE BIG SCOOP

Chill out with San Francisco’s best ice cream this summer. SINCE 2006, Bi-Rite Creamery has been drawing lines that wrap around the block. The original Mission location and the NoPa shop are attached to the eponymous legendary grocery and serve small-batch ice cream in simple and elegant flavors like salted caramel, honey lavender and ricanelas. The dairy comes from nearby Straus Family Creamery. Another local mainstay, Humphrey Slocombe, also works with Straus. Since 2008, it's earned fans for its broad, rotating selection of grown-up, experimental flavors, like foie gras and Secret Breakfast (cornflakes and bourbon) served at its Mission shop and convenient Ferry Building stall.

The Ice Cream Bar

This Cole Valley favorite with old-fashioned soda-fountain ambience makes a New Orleans Hangover float with a mix of sweet cream ice cream, soda, chicory coffee syrup and golden eagle tincture. Its other location is the Castro Fountain.

WHE RE I J U N E 2018

Coletta Gelato

Blending Italian tradition with California culinary sensibilities, this gelato is made from locally sourced raw ingredients (the company pasteurizes its own milk). Flavors at the tiny SoMa shop include Tiramisu Wannabe and gianduia (chocolate with hazelnut).

Smitten

This company made a patented machine playfully named Kelvin, which uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the ice cream at extremely low temperatures, making it extra smooth and creamy. With each cup made to order, you can watch the whole process, from raw ingredients to finished ice cream, in just 60 seconds. Visit the Hayes Valley shop in a converted shipping container or locations in the Marina, Mission and Pacific Heights neighborhoods.

But there’s another Japanese noodle making waves, udon. Marugame Udon, an outpost of the largest udon noodle chain in the world, has opened in Stonestown Galleria. Served in an upscale cafeteria-like setting, the slippery, thick noodles are made daily onsite from a machine imported from Japan. The 10 different bargain-priced bowls come with toppings such as curry, sweet gyudon style beef, spicy chicken or a unique combination of edamame and salsa.— Amy Sherman EVERYONE LOVES

The SF Pride Celebration returns June 23-24, attracting thousands of revelers to the lively Castro, home to the city's queer community since the 1960s. For context on its activist past, visit the GLBT History Museum. Then catch a show at the Castro Theatre, an Art Deco movie palace screening classic and cult films and hosting campy sing-alongs to “Mary Poppins” and “Moana.”

You’ll find a gay bar thumping beats at all hours (and maybe spot a drag queen or two). One of the most popular bars is The Lookout. The vibe is mellower at Twin Peaks Tavern, which was the country’s first gay bar with glass windows. Stop at the Puerto Vallartainspired cantina Papi Rico for beachy cocktails and street food snacks with vacation vibes.

WITH SCHOOL ON break and summer in full swing, it’s high season for family travel. San Francisco offers an inspiring variety of child-focused attractions and creative activities, plus plenty of scenic parks, playgrounds, trails and beaches for free outdoor fun. Start planning your most memorable family getaway yet with this handy guide.

FOR LITTLE LEARNERS Marvel at massive, balloon-inspired art creations at the “Inflatable” exhibit at the Exploratorium (open through Sept. 3), and then play your way through 600 more interactive art and science activities. Head to the San Francisco Cable Car Museum to watch the giant wheels that power the city’s beloved cable cars, or swing by Golden Gate Park to see San Francisco Model Yacht Club members sail vessels on Spreckels Lake. Sausalito’s Bay Area Discovery Museum has a STEM-focused Fab Lab that complements hands-on educational exhibits and 2.5 acres of Bay Area-inspired outdoor activities in Lookout Cove.

FOR ANIMAL ENTHUSIASTS The San Francisco Zoo family is always growing, with 250 species of exotic, endangered and rescued animals. Naturalists age five and under should also visit the Early Explorers Cove at the California Academy of Sciences, a facility with a four-story rainforest, planetarium and aquarium. Check out Pier 39’s Aquarium of the Bay before viewing San Francisco’s famous sea lions that lounge just outside; the Sea Lion Center tells their story. See how researchers rescue and rehabilitate sick and injured marine animals at the Marine Mammal Center near Sausalito, offering enlightening docent-led tours.

FOR ACTIVE YOUNGSTERS Hop over to the Presidio’s House of Air, an indoor trampoline park with dedicated spaces for junior jumpers, and then enjoy more playtime at Marina Green, an ideal avenue for flying kites. Downtown, Yerba Buena Gardens offers a vintage carousel,

ice-skating rink, bowling alley and park area. In Golden Gate Park, explore Stow Lake by pedal boat. For bigger aquatic adventures, board a ferry to Angel Island for an afternoon of hiking or biking.

FOR YOUNG COLLECTORS Several Valencia corridor stores stock unique goods for families. Parents will find stylish furniture, bedding and basics at Aldea Home + Baby, which also carries books and toys to engage young minds. Look to Paxton Gate for old-school games, puzzles, puppets and instruments, and the Pirate Supply Store at 826 Valencia for toy-making kits, maps and creative novelties. Small Frys in Noe Valley carries children’s clothing by several California designers, along with classic wooden toys, plush animals and books.

UNDER THE SEA

At the Aquarium of the Bay's permanent Touch the Bay exhibit, kids can touch bat rays, skates, leopard sharks and tidepool animals such as sea stars and sea cucumbers. At the adjacent Bay Lab Station, naturalists lead interactions with land animals and climate change discussions and invite kids to get their hands on microscopes and puzzles.

FOR CREATIVE MINDS One Sunday a month through October, families will find kid-focused crafts and games at Sunday Streets gatherings scheduled in various San Francisco neighborhoods. During Pixar Day at the Park on Aug. 12, the San Francisco Giants welcome event ticketholders with a themed gift and post-game field access to view a DisneyPixar film.

sters channel their creativity to build video games, program robots, play music and animate stories in innovative studios. The San Francisco Children’s Art Center, Asian Art Museum, de Young Museum, Walt Disney Family Museum and Presidio Officers’ Club are among many local museums with special children’s programming, as well.

FOR BUDDING EXPLORERS For an alternative to traditional parks and museums, visit under-the-radar destinations like the Hyde Street Pier, home to several historical ships, and Fort Point, a Civil War-era brick fortress at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge. With 3.5 miles of white sand, spectacular shorebirds and sea life and winds that make kite flying a breeze, Ocean Beach offers a popular natural playground. Little chefs can chat with farmers and sample fresh food at the Ferry Plaza Farmers’ Market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

WILD AND FREE

(From top) House of Air, an indoor trampoline park for all ages at Crissy Field, is an ideal rainy day outing; taking a break from biking around Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay.

FOR HUNGRY KIDS Nothing says summer like ice cream. Smitten dishes up super-smooth, small-batch flavors made with liquid nitrogen; for a more traditional experience, try a housemade scoop at the soda fountain-style Ice Cream Bar. The scent of fresh sourdough draws diners to Boudin on Fisherman’s Wharf, where bakers fashion playful loaves in the demonstration window. For quickserve burgers, fries and shakes from a local favorite, look for Super Duper Burger locations citywide. And, when the fog rolls in, get cozy with fresh hot chocolate at the Warming Hut on Crissy Field.

FOR TWEENS AND TEENS Teenage travelers (and playful parents) can’t beat Pier 45’s Musee Mecanique for fun and value, with more than 200 vintage arcade games priced at $1 or less. Exploring the Sutro Baths ruins, hiking the Coastal Trail and walking the labyrinth at Lands End also appeal to older children. Blazing Saddles, Bay City Bike and Dylan’s Tours are three of several outfitters that rent bicycles and gear to families ready to pedal across the Golden Gate Bridge.

FOR CLASSIC CHILDREN’S FAVORITES For a sunny slice of San Francisco, spend a few hours at Dolores Park. This lively gathering point has state-of-the art, super-sized playground equipment, bike racks and basketball and tennis courts. Golden Gate Park’s Koret Children’s Quarter boasts playground equipment and a historical carousel, while the park offers plenty of green space for picnicking, tossing Frisbees or kicking a soccer ball. The beautifully maintained Lafayette Park also welcomes families with new play facilities and lots of room to run.

WHERE IN SAN FRANCISCO

We’re addicted to day trips

For more great day trips in the city visit wheretraveler.com

WHE RE I J U N E 2018

Tahoe and Mendocino When I crave mountains, Tahoe is like an escape to Switzerland, with breathtaking lakes and peaks. When I crave the sea and quiet, I always get reinvigorated in Mendocino or on the Sonoma Coast in remote towns like Jenner. Virginia Miller, food and drink editor/writer, @theperfectspot

Refuge I sneak to this hidden oasis in Monterey. You move through the thermal cycle—sauna, cold bath dunk, relaxation fire pit,

hot tub—as many times as you want. There’s no talking allowed, so I bring a book and truly disconnect. Molly Goodson, co-founder/ CEO, The Assembly, @mollygoodson

Marin Headlands It has lots of different levels of hikes and one of the most beautiful spots to see the city and the bay. Aaron Feeney, director of sales and marketing, Viceroy SF, @chiguy2xaron

Hog Island Nothing beats grabbing some nice cheese and

a bottle of bubbly and heading to Point Reyes to shuck your own oysters. You can’t beat the views, and it's family friendly. Anna Cobarruvias, co-owner/general manager, Son's Addition, @sonsaddition

Turnbull Winery I go for wine tasting and a walk around the Ansel Adams exhibit, followed by lunch at the Charter Oak then HealthSpa Napa Valley, where a pool pass is only $20. Jen Pelka, founder, Magnum PR, @jenpelka
