Pez Museum: Sweeter than candy

Like Pez candy and Pez dispensers, the Pez Museum is small—one room behind the Pez gift shop in downtown Burlingame. But you don’t need much space to display the only 900 (and counting) Pez dispensers...

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival: Hardly any lousy music and strictly massive crowds at free concert

If you missed the big free concerts in Golden Gate Park in the Sixties, you can still experience the next best thing on October 1-3. Thats when the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival invades Golden Gate Park for the 10th time. An estimated 750,000 people—matching the population of San Francisco itself—made it out last year..

About San Francisco, California

     San Francisco packs about 800,000 people onto a 7-by-7-mile peninsula--it's the most second-most densely populated U.S. city behind New York--but it enjoys a reputation that's much larger. It's routinely ranked #1 among travelers' favorite U.S. cities for many reasons. Landmarks known around the world; a wealth of museums; cosmopolitan neighborhoods; and a rich mix of Victorian and modern buildings spread out over its famously steep cable-car hills make San Francisco a must-see for any traveler. 
     There are entertainment options for any taste, whether you prefer opera, the theater, nightlife, baseball or street fairs. Among the free events that draw thousands to the "City by the Bay" are the Mostly Strictly Bluegrass Festival, San Francisco Jazz Festival, Stern Grove Festival, Pride Parade, Chinese New Year Parade and jam-packed summer street fairs in several neighborhoods. If you're willing to open your wallet, you can enter the Bay to Breakers race, attend the symphony, see a modern-dance performance or dine at any of San Francisco's restaurants--arguably the best array of gourmet and ethnic restaurants west of Manhattan. And if you want to just enjoy the mild weather, since it's almost always between 50 and 75 degrees, you can walk along four-mile-long Ocean Beach, do a bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge or jog the eucalyptus-shaded trails of the Presidio.
     San Francisco landmarks that draw the most visitors include the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, Chinatown, Union Square and Golden Gate Park. If you haven't been to San Francisco in a while, you'll especially enjoy visiting the waterfront, which has undergone a dramatic makeover with its sparkling bayfront path, walking piers, baseball stadium and Ferry Building Marketplace. Close to downtown hotels and museums, all of these attractions are connected by historic trolleys that run between the Ferry Building and Fisherman's Wharf. Whatever you choose to do, you'll want to return for more.
