I love to wander through whenever we visit SF. Great people watching, fun shops, unique food purveyors, and when the Farmer's Market is set up, its great fun to wander among the stands and see what is available.

I enjoyed the Farmers Market annual Spring Breakfast as my Mothers Day brunch. The event was hosted by Bon Appetit and was first rate. From the freshly squeezed orange juice in the Mimosas to the fresh fruits, cheeses, and the gourmet meal, all was delicious. And all benefits the CUESA. A memorable Mothers day! More

We took a stroll through this popular venue to see some of the sites of San Francisco. It is a bustling place with lots of vendors and lots of crowds too. We didn't buy anything due to a lack of time but were glad we went. Don't miss this local hot spot. Try to go to the market it you... More
