12 must see spots in San Francisco based off of Curbed’s Heat Maps project:
Long a haven for counter-culture types, San Francisco has creative bent that helps make it one of the more interesting destinations for design tourists. From the new industrial bar and lounge at 25 Lusk, to the first inn at the 236-year-old Presidio Park, to the under-construction SFJAZZ Center, the City by the Bay has more to offer than ever. That’s not to say that the city’s historic offerings have been neglected—far from it, in fact—as this edition of Design Heat Maps paying a visit to the building with the first glass curtain wall in the United States and the historic Emporium Dome, the ornate vestige of a long-defunct Macy’s competitor. Old and new, all cool, all here. Check it out below.

The Ribbon Cutting at our Grand Opening
A special moment…. First Nancy Bechtle speaks, then Bruce Hraba from Waterford Hotels & Inns, and then Craig Middleton of the Presidio Trust. Then the ever-so-festive ribbon cutting. The party itself ended up being a wonderful treat… there’s another video on our channel that you can check out to see the event, listen to the band, and enjoy a little “new history”.
