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.

EDITOR’S ITINERARY RACHEL WARD NEWS TO TRAVEL BY
Urban Spring Welcome to San Francisco! This month we look at the city's oneof-a-kind retail destinations that have stood the test of time and merit a drop-in when you're in town (p. 14). We also have a list of incredible urban vista points worth seeking out (p. 18) and a guide to some of the Bay Area's best golf courses (p. 20). Happy exploring! 90 MINUTES IN:
Golden Gate Park Get a feel for the park just walking or biking along John F. Kennedy Drive on the eastern side. First you'll spot the gorgeous Conservatory of Flowers, a Victorian structure containing a collection of exotic plants. Continue to Music Concourse, a large oval plaza with fountains and pollarded trees that's bordered by the stunning copper de Young Museum and the California Academy of Sciences, recognizable by its hill-inspired living roof. It's free to go up the Hamon Observation Tower in the de Young and admire the view of the city, and if you're a speedy walker, you can take a detour to the romantic Shakespeare Garden. Get going! Explore the city at wheretraveler.com.

Ask the Expert YOUR CONCIERGE
Elizabeth Baca-Pryfogle Concierge, Grand Hyatt San Francisco; Member, Northern California Concierge Association Q: What are some of your favorite San Francisco stores? A: My top favorite store in San Francisco is Gump’s. It’s like therapy. From the moment you walk in the doors, you’re enveloped in the exquisite scent of the beautiful life. I can also spend hours at any museum store, most especially the one at SFMOMA. You’re always guaranteed an esoteric find. Q: What's your favorite San Francisco neighborhood for shopping? A: I love strolling through the Valencia corridor, where you can be hip and trendy without even trying. I love the meshing of the Latino heritage of the neighborhood with the present hipster movement. Q: Where’s your favorite San Francisco photo op? A: Deep into Lincoln Park Golf Course there is an amazing lookout that cannot be rivaled. Located at the 17th hole, you stand on a beautiful green, hushed spot overlooking the outer edges of the San Francisco Bay framed by the entire length of Golden Gate Bridge.
COURTESY SUGARFINA
Q: Where do you send visitors with a sweet tooth? A: I send them to Teuscher’s Chocolate for the Champagne truffles. Or they can buy Champagne flavored gummy bubbles at Sugarfina. And the most sublime pear sorbet in San Francisco, found only at Mitchell’s Ice Cream, goes great with Champagne!

Seven San Francisco Retailers With Staying Power San Francisco’s ever-evolving retail scene includes major international labels as well as smaller, homegrown brands that have operated here since California’s Gold Rush. From old-school craftspeople to boutiques taking a unique approach to fashion, jewelry and home decor, these local mainstays offer an authentic option for only in San Francisco souvenirs and gifts. Here are seven legacy retailers worth visiting. BY RENEE BRINCKS
Goorin Bros. NEIGHBORHOODS: North Beach, Union Square, Haight Street THEN: Cassel Goorin launched his hat-making business in 1895, operating from a horse-drawn cart on the streets of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His sons moved the business to San Francisco in 1949; today, Cassel’s great-grandson Ben oversees operations. NOW: Goorin Bros sells hats and offers custom fitting services at more than 30 stores in the United States and Canada, including the flagship North Beach boutique. “North Beach has an old-world romantic charm and overflows with unique history. It is unlike any other neighborhood in San Francisco,” says Ben Goorin. He
outfitted his signature location with antiques and family mementos, and showroom displays feature heirloom-quality bowlers, cloches, fedoras, flat caps and more. In 2017, Goorin Bros. will introduce a line of trucker caps crafted at the brand’s newly acquired New Jersey factory. 1612 Stockton St., 415.402.0454, goorin.com
NOW: After studying under master optician Horst Goos, owner Kevin Hershey took over the lab at Spectacles in 1996. The store specializes in custom rimless mountings, handles frame adjustment and repairs, and sells vintage eyewear as well as modern brands like Cartier. 177 Maiden Ln., 415.781.8556, spectacles-sf.com
Spectacles of Union Square
Needlepoint Inc.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Union Square THEN: Two sisters helped build this eyewear business launched in Detroit in 1932. It has provided prescription lab and eyeglasscrafting services on San Francisco’s Maiden Lane since 1959.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Jackson Square THEN: When she opened a full-service needlepoint shop on Post Street 28 years ago, Diane Nerheim turned her hobby into a profession. She moved to the current Jackson Square location in 2015. 15
NOW: In addition to stocking embroidery supplies and offering custom-designed pillows, home textiles and holiday decor, Nerheim sells a proprietary line of fine silk thread. She also employs a full-time artist who creates patterns sold at the store. “Everything is painted by hand—nothing is stamped. It’s like couture needlepoint,” says Nerheim, who welcomes customers from across the country. “We really are a destination for those who enjoy this hobby. Needlepoint is a unique craft that people get hooked on.” 177 Maiden Ln., 800.345.1622, needlepointinc.com
Wilkes Bashford NEIGHBORHOOD: Union Square THEN: San Francisco icon Wilkes Bashford founded his renowned clothing store in 1966, setting the bar for fine men’s apparel and cementing a spot on Esquire’s “International Best Dressed List” for decades. NOW: Bashford passed away in 2016, but his 16 W H E R E S A N F R A N C I S CO I M A R C H 2017
legacy lives on through shops in San Francisco and Palo Alto. Now part of the Mitchell Stores family, the business offers expanded jewelry and women’s departments as well as classic menswear labels and made-to-measure services. 326 Jackson St., 415.986.4380, wilkesbashford.com
Lang Antique & Estate Jewelry NEIGHBORHOOD: Union Square THEN: Mrs. Jarmilla Lang opened this Sutter Street store in 1969, drawing on her fine arts background to curate an upscale selection of jewelry and collectables. Current co-owners Mark Zimmelman and Suzanne Martinez took over in the early 1990s and moved the store just down the block in 2014. NOW: Lang’s Antique & Estate Jewelry buys and sells fine antique, vintage and estate jewelry dating back to the late 1700s, from rare engagement rings to art deco watches
Gump family members established a Union Square shop in 1861, selling home goods and gifts to customers who amassed California Gold Rush fortunes.

to cufflinks crafted with onyx and diamonds. Sparkling front window displays draw collectors as well as casual shoppers. “These pieces tell us about times past and how jewelers took so much time and pride in their work,” says Martinez. “The old pieces were primarily die-struck, hand-finished and hand-pierced. Here, we can point out those details that make each piece special.” 309 Sutter St., 415.982.2213, langantiques.com
Gump’s NEIGHBORHOOD: Union Square THEN: Gump family members established a Union Square shop in 1861, selling home goods and gifts to customers who amassed California Gold Rush fortunes. Owners rebuilt and restocked after the city’s 1906 earthquake, and continue carrying high-end decor, apparel and accessories today. NOW: More than 150 years after opening, Gump’s remains a stylish anchor in San

Cliff’s Variety NEIGHBORHOOD: Castro THEN: Retired merchant and teacher Hilario DeBaca opened a Castro Street shop in 1936, selling sewing supplies, cigars, candy, magazines and other basics in a space named for his youngest son, Clifford. DeBaca’s oldest son, Ernie, and subsequent generations have managed the store through expansions and location changes leading to the current spot at 479 Castro. NOW: True to its name, Cliff’s Variety carries a range of hardware, housewares, art supplies, fabric and toys, plus seasonal items and playful gifts for all ages. 479 Castro St., 415.431.5365, cliffsvariety.com

Pacific Overlook
The Best Views of San Francisco San Francisco’s 50-plus hills and the vantage points they provide are among the city’s most defining features. Just about anywhere high up around here offers postcardworthy panoramas. Here are some of the best vista points in town. BY ZACHARY CLARK
The city’s most famous lookout, Twin Peaks really is a must-visit. The entire city is laid out before you, from the top of the Golden Gate Bridge to the southern coast and across the water to the East Bay. Take a walk along the pedestrian-only eastern portion of Twin Peaks Boulevard for a variety of perspectives.
BILLY GOAT HILL This small green space tucked into a hill on the border of Noe Valley and Glen Park offers a long-distance view of the downtown skyscrapers that extends south to Bernal Hill. On clear days, you can see the East Bay.
TOP OF THE MARK Located on the 19th floor of the Mark Hopkins hotel on Nob Hill, Top of the Mark is a swanky cocktail lounge and restaurant with 360-degree views of downtown San Francisco, the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge.
TANK HILL A hidden gem, the view at Tank Hill captures as much of the city as the view from Twin Peaks, but without the tourists. Even on nice days, you may well have the park to yourself.
HAWK HILL Top of the Mark

with arguably the best views of the Golden Gate Bridge. The panorama includes the mouth of the bay and the city skyline beyond the bridge.
CORONA HEIGHTS PARK This peak above the Castro neighborhood offers a view of downtown on par with Twin Peaks. You’ll see city streets that extend all the way to the bay, and to your right is an iconic San Francisco image: hills covered with innumerable pastel-colored houses.
THE VIEW LOUNGE On the 39th floor of the Marriott hotel, the View Lounge is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows through which you can see almost the entire city, bay and beyond.
GRANDVIEW PARK
BUENA VISTA PARK
Begin your ascent at the tiled steps on Moraga Steet and 16th Avenue, a colorful mosaic that flows thematically from sea to stars. If you continue a block beyond the top of the staircase to Grandview Park (also known as Turtle Hill), you’ll be treated to a 360-degree view that includes the Sunset neighborhood, Pacific Ocean and Golden Gate Park.
Located above the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood and surrounded by stately Victorian homes, Buena Vista Park offers views of the Golden Gate Bridge, bay and downtown framed by the park’s huge live oak trees.
SUTRO HEIGHTS PARK Located above the Cliff House restaurant, Sutro Heights Park is almost a stones throw from the Pacific Ocean. From the top, you can see down the entire length of Ocean Beach, which is flanked by Sunset District homes and the crashing waves.
MOUNT DAVIDSON
TREASURE ISLAND
This is the city’s highest peak, overlooking Twin Peaks, Sutro Tower and downtown skyscrapers, with the Miraloma and Noe Valley neighborhoods in the foreground.
This small island in the middle of the bay sits directly across from San Francisco’s northern waterfront, which is especially brilliant at night. Be sure to look north for a close-up of the Bay Bridge’s new eastern span.
BERNAL HILL The panorama from Bernal Heights summit extends from Twin Peaks to the East Bay, with the city’s main arteries of Market and Mission streets running directly from the base of the hill to downtown. The southern edge of the hill offers views of the tightly packed Bernal Heights neighborhood.
PACIFIC OVERLOOK Situated directly behind the Golden Gate Bridge, you’ll recognize the views here from photographs. Climb the World War II bunkers for the best views of the mouth of the bay. Grandview Park

LINCOLN PARK GOLF COURSE The 17th hole is the most memorable here, where the Golden Gate Bridge looks like it can be reached from the tee box. (It can’t!) This course is located in the northwestern corner of San Francisco, where the sea meets the bay, which means the weather here is variable. But the value and the views make it worth it.
PRESIDIO GOLF COURSE Presidio Golf Course is a National Historic Landmark and a leader in environmental practices (the course uses roughly 75 percent less pesticides than private courses in the city). It has been a part of the San Francisco landscape since it was built in 1895, making it one of the oldest courses on the West Coast.

NINE-HOLE HEAVEN SAN FRANCISCO IS HOME to not one but three nine-hole golf courses. Besides Golden Gate Park Golf Course, Fleming 9 and Gleneagles Golf Course at McLaren Park are ideal even for the briefest visits to San Francisco, since they’re located right within the city. Fleming 9 is just adjacent to the 18-hole TPC Harding Park and shares its challenging style and unparalleled views. Or, play at unassuming Gleneagles, which prides itself on having a legendary pub, dubbed “the finest 19th hole in all the Golf Kingdom.”

the guide Shopping March Shopping Goes Back Offline The online, San Francisco-based clothing brand Everlane opened its first brickand-mortar location, The Everlane Lab, in the city’s Mission District last summer. Self-described as a “concept shop for experimenting new retail ideas,” the minimalist space carries around 100 styles, including new launches, with all sizes on the floor for customers to experience on their own. The largely self-service store does employ stylists, but the shopping experience is meant to be independent. The brand specializes in basics without the traditional markups, and is known for transparency with respect to overhead costs, materials and the factories it works with. 2170 Folsom St., everlane.com

Perhaps the best known wine bar in a city full of them, Press Club is an elegant establishment at the foot of the swanky Four Seasons Hotel that showcases a new artisan vintner each month along with a sublime selection of local vinos. It’s notoriously difficult to stay in business in this competitive city—so it says something that Elixir dates back to 1858. And with its wonderful collection of handmade cocktails and laid-back saloon-meets-lounge ambience, you can bet it won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. As the name suggests, Brewcade is part brewpub and part arcade, with a collection of nostalgic games including Mario Bros., Frogger and Mortal Kombat. Go old school and order a classic soda pop like Crush Orange.
The gorgeous Lands End trail winding along the rocky, windswept, cypress-lined Pacific Coast leads to striking views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the ocean. The beautiful Lands End Lookout visitor center at the entrance offers context on the area's natural and cultural history and houses a gift shop, cafe and restrooms. San Franciscans flock north to Marin to hike, cycle, camp and horseback ride on 2,572 foot-high Mount Tamalpais. The park connects to a 200-mile trail system, and the views from the summit are spectacular. Rent a bike and cycle from San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge to the charming seaside town of Sausalito, where you can enjoy lunch and ice cream. Most touring cyclists opt to take the ferry back to the city.
The cycling workout that’s taken the nation by storm, Flywheel Sports, has finally arrived to San Francisco, with a plush new studio just off Market Street near the Embarcadero. The high-tech bikes have personal screens tracking how hard and fast you’re actually pedaling. The Nob Hill Spa now offers the Rejuvenate Body & Face Ritual that incorporates superfoods. A chia seed scrub hydrates with omega-3 fatty acids, and a matcha tea-infused body cream eases inflammation with catechin antioxidants. A hub for personal care, Union Street recently welcomed newcomer Skinworx, a sleek orange boutique with its own skincare line and spa, which specializes in digital skin analysis and Hydrafacials.
