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 CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF TRAVEL

For the Love of Art Welcome to the City by the Bay! You’ve chosen one of the warmest and most beautiful months to visit us. In this issue we have the lowdown on the most interesting art happenings around the city (p. 18), a look at the local literary scene (p. 22) and a guide to exploring the bohemian North Beach neighborhood (p. 24).

80 MINUTES IN:

Telegraph Hill Begin your ascent up the hill’s craggy face via the Filbert Street Steps. (A less scenic option: Catch the 39-Coit Bus.) When you reach the Victorian cottages and fragrant gardens of Napier Lane, wooden steps replace the concrete steps. Listen for the calls of the wild parrots that live here as you continue climbing to reach the summit and Coit Tower.

At the top, take in the views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the cruise and cargo ships and sailboats dotting the bay. Enter the tower to admire the 1934 murals and take the elevator up for panoramic views. Descend the hill via the brick Greenwich Street Steps.

Get going! Explore the city at wheretraveler.com.

Ask the Expert YOUR CONCIERGE

Dan Sotelo

Chief Concierge, Intercontinental Mark Hopkins San Francisco Member, Les Clefs d'Or and NCCA Q: What are your favorite art galleries?

A: Meyerovich Gallery on Post Street features fine American and European art with a mix of sculptures and modern contemporary graphic artists. Christopher-Clark Fine Art on Geary Street is one of the larger galleries here in the city, with quite a collection of European masters, including etchings and engravings. SFMOMA Artists Gallery at Fort Mason has a more casual atmosphere and features local artists.

Q: What are your favorite places to stop in North Beach?

A: This is probably one of my favorite parts of the city. I just like the local vibe you get when walking the neighborhood. When I have time in the morning, I always enjoy a cappuccino at Caffe Puccini on Columbus Avenue. I enjoy my coffee among the local old timers reading the paper and talking local chatter. Of course everyone always enjoys breakfast at Mama's if you have time to wait. I get lunch at either North Beach Restaurant or Original Joe's and dinner at the Park Tavern. Upper Grant Avenue is nice for some local, unique shopping.

Q: What are your favorite bookstores?

A: First and foremost is City Lights Books at 261 Columbus Ave. It has a rich history of the early bohemian writers from the 1950s and 1960s. Also, I like Omnivore Books in Noe Valley. It’s a great spot for food, cooking and antiquarian books.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

Literary City: Getting a Read on San Francisco

BY LAURIE JO MILLER FARR

WHAT MARK TWAIN NEVER SAID WHAT Mark Twain mastered an impeccable style of expression. As a 20-something-year-old local news reporter, he spent only two years or so in San Francisco in 1865-1866. Yet, somehow one of the best-known quips about this city is often wrongly attributed to him: “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.”

City Lights Books

WHERE The Mark Twain Project at UC Berkeley, the world’s largest archive of Twain documents, is open to the public by appointment.

The Bancroft Library Room 475, University of California at Berkeley

FROM TOP: COURTESY LITQUAKE; ©SCOTT CHERNIS/SF TRAVEL

The connection between San Francisco and the printed page is a love story enhanced by a deep sense of place. Mark Twain came and left before the cable car was invented. Then a rich literary trail leads to the Beat Generation poets, and later to an anthem for the city on a hill “where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.” Today it’s back to North Beach with Francis Ford Coppola’s futuristic short story vending machine.

THE BEAT GENERATION

LEGENDARY LOCAL LYRICS

WHAT No American bookstore can match the significance of City Lights Books as the publisher and bookseller of progressive cultural and political titles. Known as “A Literary Meetingplace Since 1953,” this landmark became ground zero for a movement when co-founder Lawrence Ferlinghetti published the controversial “Howl” by Allen Ginsberg and writings of other Beat writers. Ferlinghetti’s own “A Coney Island of the Mind,” is cited as the best-selling poetry book of the 20th century. Weekly readings take place upstairs; jam-packed shelves are spread over three floors in the store.

WHAT The lyrics from “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” strike a chord with locals and visitors alike. The hit song received gold record status and was ranked 23rd by the Recording Industry Association of America among the most historically significant songs of the 20th century. The song was selected as an official anthem for San Francisco in 1969.

WHERE City Lights Books attracts authors and visitors from all over the world to its North Beach corner. Don’t miss the legendary Vesuvio Cafe across Jack Kerouac Alley, where the walls display a collection of memorabilia. The art installation “Language of the BIrds” is also nearby.

And at his North Beach restaurant, your choice of short story (from a selection that includes manuscripts from his literary magazine) is

dispensed from a vending machine that’s the first of its kind in the United States. So you can enjoy some reading with your bowl of pasta.

WHERE Look for the distinctive red awning. Cafe Zoetrope serves Italian food and wine from Coppola’s own Sonoma and Napa Valley vineyards. Newly curated content is uploaded to the machine seasonally, so there’s always something to read besides the menu.

NEIGHBORHOOD GUIDE

North Beach

With sidewalks lined with bistro tables and a pervading Old-World character, North Beach is the most European of San Francisco’s neighborhoods. The vibrant district is regarded as the city’s Little Italy and former home of the finger-snapping Beatnik scene of the 1950s. Today, the black berets are gone, but a bohemian spirit still lingers in its cafes, bars and shops.—BY GARRICK RAMIREZ

EAT Before the Beats, Italian immigrants helped define North Beach as “The Little City” in the early 20th century. Their legacy can be seen in spots like 105-yearold Liguria Bakery where freshly baked foccacia sells out every afternoon and Molinari Delicatessen where hefty Italian sandwiches are assembled against a backdrop of hanging salamis and basket-woven Chianti bottles.

Recent Italian transplants Mattia Cosmi and Alice Romagnoli continue that tradition with Italian Homemade Company, a market and deli that specializes in from-scratch pastas and cassoni, enclosed flatbread sandwiches stuffed with meatballs, mozzarella and ricotta cheese. Across the street, Piccolo Forno fires up thin crust pizzas like the Capricciosa layered with prosciutto, egg, artichokes and olives.

Lines can run long for the masterful pizzas at Tony’s Pizza Napoletana whose namesake owner, Tony Gemignani, is a World Pizza Champion 12 times over. Longtime standbys like the Stinking Rose, Francis Ford Coppola’s Cafe Zoetrope and North Beach Restaurant consistently pack in vacationers. For oldschool atmosphere with Italian-American favorites like veal scallopini, head to Original Joe’s where the bred booths could host the entire Rat Pack. A vintage jukebox and flickering candelabras lend Tosca Cafe a romantic atmosphere for enjoying saucy, off-menu meatballs sopped up with hunks of salt-flecked,

rosemary focaccia.

When you’ve had your fill of Italian, Park Tavern pairs cocktails with smoked deviled eggs and one of the city’s best burgers. Chubby Noodle serves up hip-hop and Asian mash-ups like Korean tacos in a fun, boisterous dining room.

After dinner, stroll the neighborhood’s many Italian bakeries such as

Down the street, Beacon Coffee & Pantry is the neighborhood’s third-wave coffee spot with Sightglass pour overs sipped in a sleek, minimalist space. Craft beer buffs will appreciate the encyclopedic menu at Church Key, a cozy temple to all things hoppy. With a dimly lit interior crammed with curiosi-

PARK TAVERN 1652 Stockton St.

SHOP Grant Avenue—one of the city’s oldest thoroughfares—is chockablock with colorful storefronts that invite window-shopping. Aria Antiques is like browsing a Parisian flea market, jean specialist AB Fits stocks stylish men’s and women’s fashion, and Therapy delights with clever accessories and home decor. A visit to North Beach wouldn’t be complete without a stop at City Lights, the storied independent bookshop and publisher that was a regular hang for the Beat Generation.

CHUBBY NOODLE 1310 Grant Ave.

EXPLORE If you’ve got kiddos in tow, check out the fantastic, newly renovated Joe DiMaggio Playground complete with bocce ball courts and named for North Beach’s famous native son. Joltin’ Joe and new bride Marilyn Monroe snapped their wedding pictures at Saints Peter and Paul Church, the twinspired edifice that fronts Washington Square Park. The park’s sprawling green expanse begs for a picnic and nearby Little Vine can set you up with a basket filled with goodies like cheese, bread and charcuterie. Walk it off with a steep but short hike to Coit Tower where fascinating Depression era murals and views of the city never get old.

The 24,000-square-foot building home to 160 rooms is famous for such curious features as staircases leading to nowhere, doors that open onto blank walls, upside down posts and more. For 10 days this month starting Oct. 7, Winchester House offers the Halloween Candlelight Tour, an eerie nighttime experience that may or may not involve ghosts, spirits and other mysterious occurrences. 525 S.

freshwater creeks, wildflower-splashed sand dunes and coastal prairie covers the Presidio, a historic former military post and modern-day national park in the northwest corner of the city. Exploring the 1,491-acre playground starts with 24 miles of trails and eight scenic overlooks with postcard-worthy views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay. Three installations by nature artist Andy Goldsworthy grace the park, inspired by 300 acres of pine, cypress and eucalyptus trees planted there in the late 1800s. The Presidio also draws outdoor enthusiasts with gems such as Baker Beach, Presidio Golf Course and Rob Hill Campground.

[WHERE INSIDE]

San Francisco Your Way

All Ages

GayFriendly

Lovers

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 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.

Learn fascinating facts about one of the oldest and largest gay neighborhoods in the country on the fun and easy Cruisin’ the Castro Walking Tour (founded in 1989 by an enthusiastic, longtime resident). For context on San Francisco's rich history of activism, start with a visit to the GLBT History Museum, the only one of its kind in the U.S. It celebrates 100 years of local history through fresh exhibitions and programming. Twin Peaks Tavern, a Castro landmark founded in 1971, has seen the birth and growth of the gay movement through its large and elegant plate-glass windows. Inside, the tavern boasts a beautiful Victorian bar and prides itself on being home to some of the most dedicated clientele in the neighborhood

Crissy Field was once an airfield, but now it’s one of the city’s most scenic and popular recreation areas and home to sandy beaches, picnic tables, tidal marsh overlooks and a nationally renowned windsurfing site. Admire the panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge as you walk, run or bike along the waterfront. A quiet refuge in the bustling Financial District, French brasserie Gaspar sets an amorous tone with glowing vintage chandeliers, tufted leather banquettes in a rich shade of cherry and a pressed tin ceiling.

Rent a pedal boat or rowboat at the Stow Lake Boathouse and glide under an old stone bridge and past an island with a Chinese pagoda and waterfalls. The concessions window sells pink popcorn.
