SOMA Food Truck
Dubbed a "food truck pod" by some foodies and a "restaurant/street food hybrid" by others, one thing is for sure: the new SOMA outpost is one of the more unique eating locales in the city. Envision a triangular park with a constantly rotating fleet of food trucks, a place to sit under the sun, free WiFi, bike parking, a projection screen for movies, and a beer garden, and you'll have a vague idea of what you might find at SOMA StrEat Food Park.

Hyde Street Pier
As hard as it is to imagine San Francisco without its iconic red span spreading across the bay, there was once a time where this was true. A ferry system connected Marin and San Francisco Counties, shuttling passengers across the narrowest part of the bay from present day Fisherman's Wharf. Climb aboard and check out old vessels anchored to the pier to learn a bit of San Fran history before the bridge. Hyde Street Pier detail
