Asked on Sunday, June 24, in front of Holey
Bagel on 24th Street
near Sanchez Street:
What is your favorite tourist attraction in San
Francisco?
Interviews by Shayna Rubin
Anja Christensen, Castro Street: I think
that it’s fun to just walk around the neighborhoods and look
at the buildings
with visiting family and friends. Last week, I went hiking
with my parents
around the Marin Headlands and the Sutro Baths area.
Alan, Viola and Fynn Malek, Noe Street: The
California Academy of Sciences is a great tourist attraction.
Right now we have
a 2-1/2-year-old son who loves to see the sharks there, so we
bring visitors
with kids there.
Sarah Dirrenberger, Chattanooga Street: Chrissy
Field is a great tourist attraction. It has native birds and
plants so you can
bring visitors to get a taste of California’s nature here in
the city.
Emily Bailard, Jersey Street: I like to take visitors to the “ice cream
trifecta” of San
Francisco: Smitten, Bi-Rite, and Humphrey Slocomb. Who doesn’t
like ice cream?
Enrico Pagayucan, Vicksburg Street: I think
Twin Peaks is a great destination—it’s a good detour on a
first date. The views
are beautiful and you can see all the bridges.
Charlotte Crowe, Alvarado Street: I like
to take visitors to Point Reyes and the Pelican Inn there.
Point Reyes is a
beautiful place that combines the beach and the forest—it’s
great for camping.
I’ll be taking my brother there soon.
Sarah, Chloe, and Sadie Stein, San Jose
Avenue: When
family comes to town, we like to take them to Alcatraz. We
love to get on the
boat and enjoy the views of San Francisco.
Clark Franklin, Sanchez Street: I take
relatives from Pennsylvania and friends from Los Angeles for a
walk on the
Embarcadero. I make sure to take them to Pier 23 and Red’s
Java House there.
