VISITING SF - a couple of tips from HBC https://handbookbinders.org/
members:

Bring layers especially for night time…

California gets painted as this warm, sunny place with huge beaches and
palm trees.. that’s SoCal San Francisco is NorCal and it’s called the Foggy
City for a reason. The weather is very mild, about 60’s year-round. Fog
rolls in most nights, cooling the city down. Pack layers, including a great
thick sweater or jacket. Yes, even in the summer.

Wear Flat Shoes:

Hills here can have a gradient of up to 31% (that’s steep!)

Bookish things:

- *City Lights Bookstore:  <https://citylights.com/>*A San Francisco
institution, City Lights was founded in 1953 by poets Lawrence Ferlinghetti
and Peter D. Martin during the heyday of the Beat Generation. Located at
261 Columbus Avenue. Other book stores you might like are: T*he
Booksmith* in Haight Ashbury or *Green Apple Bookstore and BlackBirdSF
 *in Inner Richmond/Sunset
- *The Beat Museum <https://www.kerouac.com/>**:* Although it’s not a
large museum, the Beat Museum is home to fantastic memorabilia from writers
of the Beat Generation (a group of writers, artists, and thinkers that came
together in the 1950’s in San Francisco). Here you’ll find the original
manuscripts and first editions, letters, and more. The museum is proudly
dedicated to keeping the work of the Beat Generation alive. Located at 540
Broadway
- *Legion of Honor Museum <http://www.famsf.org/>**: The Logan Gallery* is
focused on book arts. Currently on view is Benoit Editeur.
- *Japantown,* also known as Nihonmachi, is a compact historic enclave
in the Western Addition. Large indoor/outdoor complexes house an assortment
of sushi, ramen and shabu-shabu restaurants, plus specialty grocery stores,
kitschy gift shops, karaoke bars and Asian-style day spa.
   - *Paper Tree: Origami Store <https://paper-tree.com/>*
   - *Kinokuniya
   <https://usa.kinokuniya.com/stores-kinokuniya-san-francisco>* :
   Japanese bookstore, also sells Ferris Wheel Press calligraphy ink sometimes
   https://usa.kinokuniya.com/stores-kinokuniya-san-francisco
   - *Maido Stationary:
   <https://usa.kinokuniya.com/stores-maido-san-francisco>* Japanese
   stationary store--has some traditional Japanese paper in back.
- *Paper Source <https://www.papersource.com/>* on 2061 Chestnut St,

Recommendations for quick walkable areas around Hilton

Ferry Building Marketplace

The Ferry Building is an iconic, historic landmark that acts as the
gateway to San Francisco and as a civic gathering place for residents and
tourists alike. The Marketplace offers a vibrant collection of primarily
local, independently owned shops and restaurants dedicated to the customers
they serve.

Some more further away recommendations:

Golden Gate Park: 20% larger than Central Park and houses some of the
best museums:

- De Young Museum: The de Young, San Francisco’s oldest museum, is
housed in a strikingly modern copper-sheathed building designed by Pritzker
Prize-winning architects Herzog & de Meuron
- The California Academy of Sciences is an aquarium, planetarium,
rainforest, and natural history museum.
- Conservatory of Flowers: A Victorian confection of wood and glass,
the Conservatory of Flowers, which opened in 1879, is the oldest building
in Golden Gate Park and one of San Francisco’s most beloved landmarks. It
houses some 1,700 species of aquatic and tropical plants, many of them
rare, including a 100-year-old giant Imperial philodendron, a
world-renowned collection of orchids, giant water lilies, and carnivorous
plants.
- Japanese Tea Garden: The Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park is
the oldest in the United States, created for the 1894 California Midwinter
International Exposition as the fair’s Japanese Village exhibit.

Sutro Baths: Tucked on the West side of the city is Land’s End and
Sutro Baths, the latter of which used to be a working bathhouse but are now
ruins you can explore.

Picnic at Dolores Park: Park culture is a huge thing here in SF. On any
given weekend, locals flock to parks with wine, beer, blankets and cheese
to hang with friends. Mission Dolores Park is the most popular spot.
