According to Yu-Sung, the best place to end your day in San Francisco is the Sutro Baths, for an impressive sunset over the ocean. (Photo from YS)
Eat your toast underneath a giant rope chandelier at The Mill.
Wake up and go to The Mill. Get Four Barrel coffee and a toast. Or two toasts. They have sweet and savory, but I think sweet is better. But really, why not get both? I’d recommend their housemade Nutella.
The toast is so good! It’s not like a cake, but it has that texture between a tea cake and a toast. So dense and chewy…and almost crumbly in some sense? So good. So good! You can do this all before 9. And then I would walk to Alamo Square Park.
If you have a car, drive up to Mt. Tam. You don’t have to hike it, but the view from there is utterly gorgeous. You can see Oakland, Sausalito, SF, and all the bridges that connect the Bay Area. Just drive up to the viewpoint.
You’re probably hungry for lunch at this point. On your way down, I’d go to Sausalito. There’s apparently a really good cash-only place called Fish. Period. Just “Fish.” It’s kind of expensive, actually. Then there’s people who live in floating houses. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can rent a kayak and take pictures of the houses. There’s this one really cool geometric one, and apparently it’s on Airbnb. It’s super modern—really, really neat.
Then come back to SF. Maybe you could go to Tartine. The best time to visit Tartine is after 4:30 pm, because then you can get freshly made bread. Just beware that the lines are long on weekends. Bring a friend and share some Bi-Rite ice cream sandwiches for the line.
Definitely go to the Sutro Baths in the afternoon. Watch the sunset there. And if you have a little more time you can even walk the Land’s End trail. You can walk from the Legion of Honor to the Sutro Baths. There’s also a cool little tunnel next to it that you can duck into, and you can hear the waves crashing in a super cool way.
Once the world's largest indoor swimming pool complex, complete with multiple pools, water slides, and a high dive, the Sutro Baths shuttered and then burned down in the '60s.
