Know the Password |
501 Jones Street (at O'Farrell Street) San Francisco, CA 94102 United States +1 415 673 1921 http://www.bourbonandbranch.com/ |
This place is the talk of the town. Perched inconspicuously on a corner in San Francisco's Tenderloin, Bourbon & Branch has no signage, and the door is closed tight. When you ring the buzzer, the door swings open and you are asked for the password. If you do not have the password, the door slams shut. It sounds barbaric, but once you have taken the time to register on their website, make a reservation, and receive a password, you will be graciously ushered into a world of boozy delight. The atmosphere is an homage to Prohibition-era speakeasies, albeit with a dash of modern urban swank. The drink menu is extensive and innovative, and you can leave with a souvenir copy for a mere $500. Featured fare includes not just one, but a whole selection of hand-numbered craft bourbons. A list of rare scotches, rums, and tequilas round out the offerings. Bartenders here are master mixologists, incorporating such sought-after liquors into equally tantalizing, boundary-busting cocktails. See website for online reservations and a complete list of house rules (including "no cell phone use" and "don't even think of asking for a 'Cosmo'"). Review © 2007, Wcities |

With a collection of over 6,000 original pieces of cartoon art, this museum is the largest museum in the US dedicated to Comic art.

Neighborhood with Non-Stop Bustle |
Grant Avenue at Bush Street San Francisco, CA 94108 United States http://www.sanfranciscochinato... |
One of the busiest areas of the city, Chinatown is a hodgepodge of shops, restaurants, and businesses of every kind. The vibrant and close-knit community that lives within this neighborhood has also made it one of San Francisco's top tourist destinations. With over 80,000 residents (plus countless tourists) traversing the streets, it is no wonder that the sidewalks can become precarious during rush hour. Thankfully, there are many side streets, quiet shops, and traditional restaurants that provide some relief from the bustle outside. Try your luck at one of the hundreds of dining options in the area, especially those serving Dim Sum, as they can be some of the best in the city. Also make sure to stop in some of the small herbal shops for some unusual trinkets and art. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Market & Kearny Streets San Francisco, CA 94104 United States +1 415 982 3071 http://www.chineseparade.com |
Following the discovery of Gold in California, many of the Chinese working on railroads in the area wanted to find a way to celebrate the coming lunar year. In order to expose the locals to their native culture, the Chinese response was a fusion of the typical American parade with their native holiday of the New Year. Today, the Chinese New Year Parade has become a San Francisco and International institution. Snaking its way down Market Street, the parade is the largest of its kind anywhere and has grown to include various other cultures to share in the festivities and perform for over three million spectators each year. With colorful Dragons, ferocious lions, ear-splitting firecrackers, and red envelopes all around, this colorful, noisy, and highly religious event also includes a two week festival with a spectacular flower show and community fair.

No Dumb Blonde |

If you were a fan of the movie "Legally Blonde", this new live-action version of the hit film is sure to impress. With a stellar cast and impressive stage design, Legally Blonde: The Musical is a high-energy romp ideally set for the bright lights of Broadway. The story follows Delta Nu sorority queen Elle Woods (Laura Bell Bundy) as she leaves behind the comforts of Southern California and the company of her best friends Pilar and Brooke (charmingly played by Dequina Moore and Nikki Snelson respectively). Elle ventures East- with trusty Chihuahua Bruiser in tow- to take Harvard Law by storm, all in an attempt to prove she is "serious" about winning back the heart of her recent ex, Warner (Richard H. Blake). On the way, she meets a range of new friends that help her discover what she has been searching for all along: herself, blonde hair and all. Though following a hit book and movie, the musical brings in many more tricks that set it apart from its predecessors. With up-to-date humor and outstanding vocals, this musical seems destined to become a stage classic. Notable performances include those by Christian Borle as cute-but-serious law student Emmett, and Orfeh as Paulette. The witty (and often delightfully risqué) lyrics and music were penned by the award winning Nell Benjamin and Laurence O'Keefe, with intricate set and scenic design by David Rockwell, and totally fabulous costumes by Gregg Barnes. Be sure to order tickets early, as seats will most likely sell out before you can say "Omigod!!" Review © 2007, Wcities |

Inside, the white plaster sanctuary has some nice stained glass and exhibits the ribbed-vault arches typical of neo-gothic architecture. The lighting is kept low, giving the shrines along the walls, lit with indirect spots and votive candles, an ethereal glow. Display cases house a collection of drawings, photographs, and artifacts from St. Marys rich history, including dramatic photos of the devastation caused by the 1906 earthquake and fire.
