In 1962 John, Paul, George and Ringo played their first live concert as The Beatles. Four years later they performed their last live concert — right here in San Francisco. 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. Open to the public Monday thru Saturday, 10AM to 6PM.

Ask the Expert YOUR CONCIERGE
Lex Fukumitsu Chief Concierge, Hyatt Regency San Francisco; Member, Northern California Concierge Association Q: What do you consider the most romantic place in San Francisco? A: In my youth, Fort Point was my go-to spot. Driving through the Presidio and by the Main Post sets the mood of a bygone era, with the Civil War buildings and parade grounds. Continue down Marine Drive, which opens up to a striking view of the bay, the Golden Gate Bridge and Fort Point nestled under the Joseph Strauss arch. Stand under the bridge, looking out at Alcatraz and the city, with the waves crashing in over the rocks, the fog just starting to creep under the bridge and the required chivalrous arm around the shoulder. Q: Any tips for visitors who want to check out the Chinese New Year Parade? A: An urban legend that's true more often than not is that it always rains on the parade. So, no matter what the weather forecast is, prepare for rain. In the drought year of 1978, the only day it rained in January and February was on the parade. Other than reserving seats in the stands, anywhere along the route is good for viewing. Grab a spot early, but first go to Golden Gate Bakery on Grant Avenue for the best egg custard tarts in Chinatown. My favorite is the coconut buns. Be sure to buy extras, or you may be tempted to lose your spot when you go back for more. Q: What neighborhood would you recommend visitors explore and why? A: Haight-Ashbury, not only because it's now a vibrant shopping area surrounded by fully restored Victorians, shops and hip restaurants, but also because you can still feel what it was in 1967’s Summer of Love. This was hippie central. There was the first free clinic taking care of the uninsured, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, the Pork Store Cafe and teenagers straight from Ohio smoking dope on the sidewalks. The Pork Store Cafe is still there, and the photos are worth the stop. The teenagers are there. Janis, Jerry and the others are gone, but you can buy their music at Amoeba Music. 10 W H E R E S A N F R A N C I S CO I F E B R UA R Y 20 17

San Francisco has no shortage of upscale restaurants known for local ingredients, sought-after wines and warm service. Longtime favorites like Foreign Cinema, Jardinière and the Cliff House present memorable menus and one-of-a-kind experiences. Choose a window seat at Mason Pacific and dine with a cable car view, or opt for a more modern setting at Michael Mina’s RN74. Cozy L’Ardoise brings elevated French fare to Noe Valley, while La Ciccia earns high marks for its Sardinian spin on seafood, pasta and dessert. Over in the Castro, Canela Bistro & Wine Bar takes its cues from Spanish traditions. foreigncinema. com, jardiniere.com, cliffhouse.com, masonpacific.com, michaelmina.net, ardoisesf.com, canelasf.com, laciccia.com
FOR CASUAL EATS For flirtation without the formality, grab an outdoor table and enjoy brunch at Cole Valley’s charming Zazie. Then, get cozy at the neighboring Ice Cream Bar and split a milkshake (or splurge on boozy dessert drinks) in old-school soda fountain style. Bi-Rite Creamery is another favorite for creative scoops, while a cable car ride to Swensen’s Ice Cream on Russian Hill is classic San Francisco. In the Mission, 20 Spot serves wine and small bites in a stylishly renovated 1885 Victorian. zaziesf.com, theicecreambarsf.com, biritecreamery.com, swensens.com, 20spot.com

Chinese New Year Parade
Celebrating All Things Chinese It’s the Year of the Rooster and the perfect time to visit San Francisco— home to one of the world’s largest Chinese New Year celebrations. The festivities culminate with the Grand Parade on Saturday, Feb. 11, starting at 5:15 pm at the corner of Market and 2nd streets. The streets sparkle with glittering floats, red lanterns, colorful flags and giant dragons stretching for blocks. Don’t forget to pass through North America’s only authentic Chinatown Gate—the giant green guardian of Grant and Bush adorned with dragons and lions. And that’s just for starters. From downtown to the Mission District, the treasures and curiosities of Chinese culture await explorers. But you’d better start practicing using those chopsticks now. BY DEREK SHAW
Sweet Start GOLDEN GATE BAKERY No trip to Chinatown is complete without a taste of Golden Gate’s world-famous $2 egg tarts. The only problem with this local landmark is you never know when it will actually be open. 1029 Grant Ave., 415.781.2627, goldengatebakery.com FANCY WHEAT FIELD BAKERY Fancy Wheat Field is unquestionably the most pristine bakery around Chinatown and decidedly less authentic, offering classic Chinese pastries like pineapple buns and pork sung buns. Check out the additional locations if you’re around Excelsior or the Outer Sunset. 1362 Stockton St., 415.982.1368

THE GUIDE
Museums + Galleries A new exhibit entitled “Diane Arbus: In the Beginning” at San Francisco’s recently renovated Museum of Modern Art highlights the first seven years of the photographer’s career. The photographs on display (over 100) were taken between 1956 and 1962, and while Arbus created nearly half of her life’s work during this period, many of these photographs are little known or have never been displayed before. The exhibit includes New York streetscapes and portraits of pedestrians and street performers, largely in Times Square, the Lower East Side and Coney Island. It also traces Arbus’ transition from the 35mm format to the distinctive square format she adopted in 1962. 151 3rd St., 415.357.4000, sfmoma.org

Chances are you’ve noticed at least one of the colorful heart sculptures on display around town. These five-foot tall sculptures, each created by a different artist, have adorned the city’s plazas, parks, businesses and street corners since 2004, when the Hearts in San Francisco art project began. This month, 32 new sculpture designs—including large hearts, table top hearts and mini mosaic hearts—will be auctioned off to benefit the San Francisco General Hospital. While there’s no official list of the heart locations around town, many are easy to find, including Tony Bennett’s design entitled “America’s Greatest City By the Bay,” permanently installed on the corner of Powell and Stockton streets as well as table top hearts at Macy’s Union Square. sfghf.org

FERRY BUILDING MARKETPLACE The historic, ren-
ovated ferry terminal at the foot of Market Street is now a world-class food market with more than 40 shops and restaurants featuring some of the area’s most prized artisanal treats: rich Cowgirl Creamery cheese, buttery Miette Patisserie madeleines and Recchiuti chocolates redolent of lavender and ginger. It is also the spot for one of the nation’s best and biggest farmers markets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, featuring colorful displays of local produce, meat, cheese, flowers, cooking demos, food trucks and more. www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com. 415.983.8030.

Map 1, A2 GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE One of the most iconic
landmarks in the world, let alone San Francisco, the magnificent international orange Golden Gate Bridge defines the city. The 4,200-foot suspension bridge was completed in 1937 after four years of construction to a rowdy, week-long celebration. Even today, Golden Gate Bridge’s two 746-foot-tall Art Deco towers stand as proud testaments to the ingenuity and grace of the structure’s design. A stroll down the east side offers stunning views of the city and boats in the bay—if you can withstand the wind. A drive across the Golden Gate Bridge leads directly to a breathtaking vantage point in Marin County. www.goldengatebridge.org.

PALACE OF FINE ARTS Originally designed for
the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition, this domed rotunda is all that remains from eight identical structures built to show the world that San Francisco had risen from the ashes after the devastating 1906 earthquake. The world’s fair honored the completion of the Panama Canal, and the construction of the Palace of Fine Arts turned the dilapidated Marina District into an exhibit of architectural beauty. Featuring a lagoon with swans, today this is a popular spot to stroll and take photos. www.palaceoffinearts.org. 3301 Lyon St., 415.567.6642. Map 2, G2

San Francisco Your Way
Families
It’s free to visit the Maritime Museum and wander down Hyde Street Pier on Fisherman’s Wharf (near Ghirardelli Square) and admire the historic ships, including the towering 1886 “Balclutha.” The views of the bay and Golden Gate Bridge are spectacular here. In SoMa, lush Yerba Buena Gardens is home to the Children’s Creativity Museum, an interactive, multi-media arts and technology museum that's designed to inspire little imaginations with animation and music studios. From downtown, you can catch the outbound Muni L-Taraval train and take it all the way to the 100-acre San Francisco Zoo out by the Pacific Ocean. In 2014, the zoo welcomed the baby red panda Tenzing, who lives in a specially designed treehouse. 64 W H E R E S A N F R A N C I S CO I F E B R UA R Y 20 17
History Buffs
GLBTQ Travelers
Nearly 80 years after the “Ellis Island of the West” shut down, the refurbished Angel Island Immigration Station on the small island just off the Tiburon peninsula now offers tours. Leading up to WWII, one million immigrants were detained on the island for months, sometimes years, trying to get into the United States. The San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park offers opportunities to tour 19th and 20th century schooners, ferryboats and tugs. HaasLilienthal House, an 1886 Queen Anne-style Victorian, is the only intact private home of the period open regularly as a museum, complete with authentic furniture and artifacts. The house has elaborate wooden gables, a circular corner tower and luxuriant ornamentation.
Learn fascinating facts about San Francisco and its transformation into one of the world’s most diverse cities on the Cruisin' the Castro Tour (founded in 1989) that explores one of the oldest and largest gay neighborhoods in the country. The GLBT History Museum celebrates 100 years of the San Francisco gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community’s history. A display of Harvey Milk’s personal belongings honors the late San Francisco supervisor, who was the first openly gay politician elected in California. The Castro is a prime destination for revelry, where you’ll find a gay bar with thumping beats at any time of the day or night. One of the most popular places to see and be seen is The Lookout, a second story bar and restaurant with a wrap-around patio.
