alike. O rder tickets w ell ahead of time; online is best, as you can print them out at home and head straight to the ferr y lineup at Pier 33. I recommend taking the first ferry of the day , at 9:30am, as the prison vietnam traveling memorial wall will be less cr owded when y ou arriv e. Bring sw eaters, comfor table shoes, and something to eat (or choose fr om the options some of them organic on the ferry), as ther e s no concession stand on the island. S ee p. 156. ( Note: If you were unable to r eserve Alcatraz tickets vietnam traveling memorial wall in time, take a 1-hour bay cr uise on the B lue & Gold Fleet. In addition to lo vely vistas of the city and an up-close look at the Golden G ate B ridge, an audio track imparts plenty of histor y and local city lore. See p. 185.)
Picnicking by the water may be an even better idea. Go to the Ferry Building (p. 161) on the Embar cadero and pur chase sandwiches vietnam traveling memorial wall fr om Mastrelli s Delicatessen (& 415/397-3354). Then go out behind the building , g rab a bench, and enjoy your picnic vietnam traveling memorial wall as you watch the ferries head out across the bay. Another good picnic spot is the Justin Herman Plaza across the street from the Ferry Building, where the massive concrete arms of Vaillancourt Fountain fold over each other. At Fort Mason, pick up delicious v egetarian sandwiches like egg salad at Greens to G o (Building A, F ort Mason Center, &415/771-6330) and then sit y ourselves under a palm tr ee on the expansiv e lawn. If you re at Crissy Field (p. 160), g rab a soup or sandwich at the Warming vietnam traveling memorial wall Hut. You ll find plenty of picnic spots outside. vietnam traveling memorial wall
However, if the kids ar e old enough to be 65 studying civic history or even architecture, vietnam traveling memorial wall I recommend hopping on a M arket Street streetcar and heading to the Civic Center , built in the grand Beaux Arts style following the devastating 1906 earthquake. Simply walking ar ound the impr essive buildings including the SF P ublic Library s main branch, the Asian Ar t Museum, and City Hall is enough. Your kids may be inter ested to kno w that the dome of City H all is taller than the U.S. Capitol building. Note: I f it s late in the day befor e y ou leav e S oMa, skip this stop. The Civic Center gets dodgy at night.
