You can go from a farmers market to a night at the theatre, with some food truck feasts in between, at San Fran’s Civic Center.

A few blocks north of the intersection of Market Street and Van Ness Avenue is Civic Center, a hub of activity and energy. The Asian Art Museum has items in their collection that dates back some 6,000 years . Shows at the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall and War Memorial Opera House are mind-blowing. And of course, the White Chapel gin bar is the perfect place to knock a few back.
