This area has to be one of my all time tops. It's only an hour from Orange County but sometimes it feels a world away.
TO DO:
The Ferry Building: just a short walk from Union Square and Market Street, fun eating and shops.
Japanese Tea Garden at Golden Gate Park: So Pretty...have some tea and take it all in! (have you figured out I love gardens?)
San Francisco Ballet: seriously talented people and a really good mix of classic and contemporary offerings.
Napa Valley: St. Helena, Yountville and Carneros are my go-tos.
TO STAY:
Hotel Vitale: sleek and contemporary, within walking distance of so much.
Cavallo Point: just across the bridge, but in a world of its own...dreamy!
Carneros Inn: two words... I die!
TO EAT AND DRINK:
Bar Jules: one of my all time favorites, anywhere...they know how to mix it up, and the simple interior design (especially the walnut top bar) kills me.
Spruce Restaurant: in a neighborhood I love, Presidio Heights, and designed by Stephen Brady for Williams Sonoma...very tasty!
Blue Fog Market: cute gourmet market, fabulous coffee...making me crave a tupelo honey latte right now.
Bouchon Bakery and Bistro (Yountville): another favorite, classic and delicious; if you're there on the weekend, the donuts are a must!
Ok, I could stay here a lot longer, but it is time to go...where to next?
