Ron Howard’s new documentary, “The Beatles: Eight Days a Week”, beautifully covers those remarkable few years and we are honored to have acted as photographic consultants on this important film.

We currently have a remarkable collection of Beatles photographs on display this month, some quite rare. Admission is free.

EDITOR’S ITINERARY RACHEL WARD CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF TRAVEL

In the Spirit Welcome to San Francisco! This month we have the ultimate guide to spending the holidays in the city (p. 16). We also have some tips for wine and cheese lovers (p. 20) and suggestions for exploring some of Marin County’s charming small towns (p. 22).

Enjoy the season!

80 MINUTES IN:

Union Square Home to the city’s most prestigious department stores and luxury retail flagships, this plaza is ground zero for holiday hustle and bustle. Lace up a pair of skates and glide along to carols on the ice rink set up in the shadow of a giant holiday tree. Afterward, warm up with a holiday treat at ToutSweet Patisserie (located on the third floor of Macy’s) from “Top Chef” alum Yigit Pura. On your way out, be sure to stop and visit the (adoptable) SPCA puppies and kittens in the department store’s windows. Finally, catch a live performance or buy a snack from a food truck as you ramble down the festive Winter Walk SF, a pop-up pedestrian plaza that’s taken over two city blocks. 'Tis the season!

Ask the Expert YOUR CONCIERGE

Desiree Bruce Chief Concierge at Hotel Nikko San Francisco; Director of Technology, Northern California Concierge Association

Q: What’s your favorite San Francisco holiday activity?

A: Eating Dungeness crab! San Francisco is famous for Dungeness crab, especially during the holiday season. A few of my favorite places for crab in the city are R&G Lounge, Crustacean and of course any of the crab stands at Fisherman’s Wharf.

Q: Where do you send guests looking to get in the festive spirit?

A: I always recommend they stop by the Embarcadero. After venturing to the Exploratorium at Pier 15 during the day, they can make their way to the Embarcadero Center in the evening for some outdoor ice skating while taking in the views of the beautifully lit Bay Bridge.

Q: Do you have a favorite cheese shop?

A: Cowgirl Creamery located in the Ferry Building is by far my favorite cheese shop in the city. On Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am-3 pm, you can indulge in the Weekend Raclette, which is basically its infamous Wagon Wheel cheese melted over slices of toasted Acme bread and served with a side of homemade pickles. The creamy Mt. Tam cheese is equally delicious and makes an excellent item to bring to any holiday party.

Q: What’s your favorite place to shop?

A: The San Francisco Premium Outlets in Livermore is where I get most of my holiday shopping done. You can travel by BART or bus or take a tour with Outlet Hop Tours.

A Festive Agenda

Even though we’re not likely to see any snow this holiday season, San Francisco will be blanketed in a spirit of celebration and light. Whether you’re touring a life-size gingerbread house with the family, watching the streets light up with festive colors or laughing all evening over dinner in Chinatown, there’s something for everyone. How you celebrate the holidays is up to you, but there is an abundance of San Francisco light displays, festivals and shows that will keep you busy. Here are a few of the best holiday events to see this season. – BY CHELSEA IVERSEN THE HOLIDAY ICE RINK AT EMBARCADERO CENTER For three decades, families have enjoyed the ice rink at Embarcadero Center and all the restaurants, shopping and festive holiday fun that surround it.

Mission Cheese

The Wine and Cheese Lover’s San Francisco Guide Wine and cheese isn’t just a pairing around here, it’s a defining part of San Francisco culture. With Wine Country to the north and numerous dairy farms and creameries sprinkled around the greater Bay Area, it’s not hard to find the best of both worlds. In the 1980s, even our football team had a “wine-and-brie” image. Here are just a few of the city’s top purveyors of fine wines and gourmet cheese. BY ZACHARY CLARK

La Fromagerie

MISSION CHEESE

Known for artisan domestic cheeses and local wines, this intimate cheese bar is staffed with knowledgeable cheesemongers who can guide you through all the pairing options.

The Mission District spot offers several cheese flights like Monger’s Choice, which includes a selection of three cheeses served with a Marla Bakery baguette, cornichon and dried fruit.

If you’re looking for a standby pairing, the staff will likely recommend Nettle Meadow Farm’s triple cream Kunik alongside a glass of Campovida’s cuvée brut. 736 Valencia St., 415.553.8667, missioncheese.net

FERRY BUILDING MARKETPLACE

Chances are the Ferry Building Marketplace is already on your itinerary. When you’re there, be sure to stop by the Cowgirl Creamery shop, home to an array of cheeses from one of the Bay Area’s top artisan cheesemakers, as well as farmstead selections from across America and Europe. If it’s your first visit to Cowgirl Creamery, be sure to try the Mt. Tam cheese, a popular triple cream made with Straus Family Dairy’s organic milk. To complete the pairing, the Ferry Building is also home to the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant & Wine Bar, where you’ll find small-batch wines from around the world. 1 Ferry Building, 362.392.4000, cowgirlcreamery.com; 415.391.9400, fpwm.com

LITTLE VINE

This cozy North Beach grocer has an impressive collection of wines and cheeses for its size.

The cheese case is stocked with about 75 varieties, with a focus on American artisan cheesemakers, including several local ones. A wine collection of 375 labels—many of which are under $25— favors small California wineries. One Sonoma Coast wine in particular—a Pinot Noir from Peay Vineyards called Cep—pairs perfectly with Piper’s Pyramid, a creamy goat’s milk cheese from Indiana’s Capricole Cheese Company. On sunny days, take your purchase to nearby Washington Square Park for a picnic in the heart of North Beach. 1541 Grant Ave., 415.738.2221, shoplittlevine.com

BI-RITE MARKET

San Francisco’s celebrated gourmet grocery store and ice cream shop is home to one of the largest cheese departments in town. Bi-Rite stocks about 150 cheeses from around the world, including cheeses made with traditional and vegetarian rennet, as well as raw and pasteurized milk from goats, sheep, cows and buffalo. The store also specializes in wines that complement the flavors of food, so a memorable pairing won’t be hard to find. The Divisadero Street location features a somewhat larger cheese selection, but the Mission District store is only a block from picnic-friendly Dolores Park. 550 Divisadero St., 415.551.7900; 3639 18th St., 415.241.9760, biritemarket.com

UNION LARDER

THE GUIDE

Museums+Galleries Modern Art at the Legion of Honor Frank Stella is considered one of the most important living American artists, and the first comprehensive exhibition of his work since 1970 is on view at the Legion of Honor museum this month.

“Frank Stella: A Retrospective” showcases 50 works by Stella, including paintings, reliefs, sculptures and maquettes, some of which date back to the late 1950s. Stella made a name for himself in 1959 at the age of 23, when four of his “Black Series” paintings were shown at the Museum of Modern Art. Since then, Stella has become one of the most influential modern artists in the world, best known for his work in the styles of Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism.

THE GUIDE

Entertainment A Mexican Wonderland Cirque du Soleil returns to San Francisco with its latest big top production, “Luzia” (Nov. 17-Jan. 29). An amalgam of the Spanish words for “light” (luz) and “rain” (lluvia), Luzia is set in a dreamy, imaginary world inspired by Mexico.

This is Cirque’s 38th production since 1984, and it’s the first big top show to integrate the element of water into its performances. In one act, rain begins to fall as two performers dance on large hoops and a trapeze artist hangs by only one heel. The diverse cast features 44 artists from 15 countries, who perform other highlights including clown scuba diving, mind-bending contortions and a Russian swing dance in which performers are flung 33 feet into the air. Tickets start at $49. AT&T Park, 74 Mission Rock St., cirquedusoleil.com

THE GUIDE

Dining Italian in the Richmond A restaurant as stylish and buzzy as Fiorella wouldn’t be out of place in Hayes Valley or the Mission, but the new Italian restaurant calls the quiet Outer Richmond home. The neighborhood bistro is outfitted with hanging globe lights, a gleaming, tile-walled open kitchen and toile-style wallpaper printed with portraits of familiar San Francisco personalities. A small heated back patio with bright yellow chairs is popular with the weekend brunch crowd. But it takes more than an appealing interior to put a restaurant on the local map, and Fiorella delivers with spot-on dishes like wood-fired octopus, salsiccia pies, cacio e pepe and Guittard chocolate budino, plus a lengthy list of Italian and Italian-style wines and an all-local beer selection.

[WHERE INSIDE]

San Francisco Your Way

History

Nightlife

Epicurean

The Civil War-era Fort Point has a magnificent setting at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge. This powerful brick fort guarded the city for almost half a century until its original cannons were removed. Visitors can explore its brick casemates, grand arches and spiral stairs and even participate in a cannon drill. The Presidio Officer’s Club is a cultural center that opened in 2014 inside the oldest building in the city. It’s home to a multimedia West Coast history gallery and hosts craft activities for kids, special exhibits and music performances. Buy tickets early to visit Alcatraz, the beautifully isolated site of a former maximum-security federal prison that housed notorious criminals and is now one of the city's most popular visitor attractions.

Named after the Emmy and Grammy awardnominated singer and pianist, Feinstein’s at the Nikko is an elegant, cabaret-style nightclub booking local and national artists.

During Prohibition, many Americans ordered traditional American cocktails in Europe, and the bartenders served them with their own local touch. These recipes were later brought back to the states when Prohibition was lifted, and today, they can be imbibed at The European. Nautical and Polynesian-inspired decor (there’s a waterfall!) make Smuggler’s Cove a tiki-themed favorite. If the ambience doesn’t get you in a tropical mood, certainly one of the 500 rums, mixed into tasty (and strong) cocktails, will do the trick.

Travelers who like to indulge during daylight hours can book the new new Art of Tea experience in the glamorous lobby of the St. Regis San Francisco hotel. This fireside teatime comes with Champagne and a spread of delicacies with unexpected twists, like macarons with foie gras and bacon. For a more casual splurge in Hayes Valley, head to The Lunchpad for a giant sandwich or heaping salad (and on weekends a bloody Mary) topped with addictive habanero candied bacon. Or dig into the decadent Palace Signature Crab Salad (local Dungeness crab season opened last month) at the Garden Court under the Palace Hotel’s 12,000 square-foot stained glass domed ceiling.
