EDITOR’S ITINERARY RACHEL WARD NEWS TO TRAVEL BY

Essential San Francisco This month we have a timely guide to combining sightseeing and fitness (p. 14) as well as a list of the best places to spot marine mammals in the winter (p. 18). You’ll also find an itinerary exploring Nob Hill designed by a neighborhood resident (p. 20).

90 MINUTES IN: 8

Contemporary Jewish Museum Before you enter, pause to appreciate the iconic geometric architecture of the steel building.

It was a power station in the 1800s and redesigned by Daniel Libeskind. Inside the lobby, look up to admire the 90-foot-long “Lamp of the Covenant” sculpture with its suspended globes. Go upstairs to check out the latest exhibit, “From Generation to Generation: Inherited Memory and Contemporary Art,“ which explores personal, relayed and imagined memories. Next, stop in to see the corresponding “Yud Video Project” in a striking gallery with sharply angled walls and dozens of kite-shaped skylights. End your visit with a pastrami sandwich at Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen.

Ask the Expert YOUR CONCIERGE

Barbara Ziegert

Lead Concierge, Marriott Marquis; Member, Northern California Concierge Association

Q: Do you have any favorite Nob Hill haunts?

A: Having lived in Paris, I’m particularly enamored with Grace Cathedral atop of Nob Hill, a beautiful Episcopal French Gothic church reminiscent of Notre Dame in Paris and welcoming anybody searching for a piece of self reflection and solitude amid the city’s hustle and bustle. Walk one of the two labyrinths and feel the meditative effects, attend one of the live performancespartake in an Evensong service.

Q: Where do you send visitors interested in spotting marine life?

A: Venture beyond the Golden Gate on one of the year-round, all-day expeditions to the oceanic wilderness of the Farallon Islands. Known as “Devil’s Teeth” and located just 27 miles offshore, the island offers sightings of a rich diversity of marine and bird life that includes humpback whales, gray whales and orcas, blue whales, great white sharks, dolphins, seals, sea lions, porpoises and the largest pelagic seabird population in the United States.

And don’t miss the world-class Steinhart Aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences, which is one of the most biologically diverse and interactive aquariums in the world. (See your concierge for discount coupons!)

Q: Where do you send visitors who are looking to be active?

A: I suggest yoga inside Grace Cathedral, free classes at the Athleta fitness store, open-air communal tai chi and qigong classes in Washington Square Park or at the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park, gorgeous golf courses around the bay or kayaking from Sausalito (guided tours recommended)—whatever your heart desires and fitness level allows.

For avid runners, I suggest the Embarcadero (offering unparalleled views of the bay); the Ecology Trail at the Presidio; the many trails in Golden Gate Park; or the Ocean Beach to Fort Funston route.

If hiking is for you, don’t miss the iconic Marin Headlands, Muir Woods and Mount Tamalpais across the bay in beautiful Marin County.

Exercise Meets Sightseeing For many, the start of a new year is an ideal time to focus on staying active and spending more time outside. In San Francisco, you can easily accomplish those goals while getting in all the requisite sightseeing at the same time. This city is blessed with mild weather for outdoor pursuits year-round and is surrounded by an inspiring natural landscape. Here’s your guide to guide to combining the city’s best sights with fresh air and exercise.

ATTRACTION: Lyon Street Steps ACTIVITY: Stairclimbing San Francisco is a city defined by its steep hills and spectacular vistas. Sharp inclines in many parts of the city required the construction of staircases instead of streets. Many of these ascents lead to dramatic views of the urban landscape, like this palatial staircase connecting the Cow Hollow and Pacific Heights neighborhoods. The 288 steps are steep but broad and bordered by lush landscaping. At the peak, you’ll be rewarded with a sweeping vantage point of the city and the bay. Stick around awhile to snap photos of the surrounding mansions. Lyon and Green sts.

ATTRACTION: The Bay ACTIVITY: Kayaking If you want to get out on the water, several local outfitters, including City Kayak, cater to both beginner and advanced paddlers and lead tours from downtown San Francisco. You’ll see spectacular views of the city skyline, and you’re likely to encounter some wildlife as well—harbor seals, pelicans, bat rays, porpoises, herons and egrets are all a possibility. On a windless day, you can paddle under the Golden Gate Bridge. Another option is to paddle from South Beach into the famous McCovey Cove behind AT&T Park. Pier 40, 89 King St., 415.294.1050, citykayak.com

ATTRACTION: Lands End Trail ACTIVITY: Hiking You don’t have to leave the city limits to get in a heart-pumping, nature-filled hike. As its name implies, Lands End Trail is located in the outer reaches of the city on the Pacific Coast, and it feels somewhat like the edge of the earth. The well maintained 3.5-mile out-andback trail is packed with photo-worthy vistas.

Jagged cliffs covered in windswept cypresses dramatically meet blue sea, with the Golden Gate Bridge and grand Marin Headlands in the distance. If you have energy to spare when you reach the end of the trail, continue on to admire the mansions in the Sea Cliff 15

The Presidio

ATTRACTION: Crissy Field ACTIVITY: Walking Crissy Field, a restored tidal marsh that was a U.S. Army airfield in a former life, makes another beautiful walk, jog or bike ride. Take in views of the Golden Gate Bridge in one direction and the city in the other as you follow the wide, 3.5-mile (stroller and wheelchair friendly) waterfront path. You’re likely to spot birds (more than 135 species have been seen) as well as

kite surfers attracted by the ideal breezes. The shoreline is also home to sandy beaches, picnic tables, cafes, bookstores and an environmental education center. parksconservancy.org ATTRACTION: The Presidio ACTIVITY: Hiking The Presidio is a former military base located on the northern end of San Francisco that’s covered in pine, eucalyptus and cypress trees.

Its 1,500 acres are now a national park that draws visitors from all over the world. The best way to explore the park is via its more than 25 miles of trails and scenic viewpoints. Take the California Coastal Trail or Bay Area Ridge trail to the Golden Gate overlook or set off on a hike that passes artist Andy Goldworthy’s four nature installations. Just under a mile, the Batteries to Bluffs Trail is another spectacular walk that winds along the Pacific Coast and follows a flight of stairs down to a sheltered beach.

neighborhood and take a detour to Baker Beach, a mile-long stretch of sand tucked below rugged hills with a famous panoramic view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Back at the trailhead, make the descent to explore the Sutro Baths ruins. Before or after your hike, be sure to make time to visit the beautiful Lands End Lookout Visitor Center, which outlines the nature and history of the area and has a shiny gift shop and cafe. 680 Point Lobos Ave., 415.426.5240, parksconservancy.org

Crissy Field

ATTRACTION: Golden Gate Park ACTIVITY: Dancing, Skating and Yoga Bigger than New York’s Central Park, the urban oasis known as Golden Gate Park is where you’ll find the city’s runners, cyclists, walkers and picnickers (especially on Sundays, when JFK Drive closes to traffic to welcome pedestrians). The city’s recreational headquarters also contains countless attractions, including: the de Young Museum; California Academy of Sciences; Japanese Tea Garden; Botanical Gardens; Stow Lake; Conservatory of Flowers; Garden of Shakespeare’s Flowers; two historic windmills; a bison paddock; and a rose garden. Between the museums and landmarks, take some time to join a free yoga or swing dance class or group skating session (rentals available) or play a game of golf or tennis. 415.831.2700, goldengatepark.com

ATTRACTION: Golden Gate Bridge ACTIVITY: Biking There are plenty of scenic routes on the 65 (and counting) miles of bike lanes around the city, but perhaps the finest trip for visitors is the ride from the northern waterfront to the picturesque seaside town of Sausalito. It takes cyclists along the bay’s edge, starting on Embarcadero and climbing up Fort Mason (the arresting views of the bay and Golden Gate Bridge alleviate the steep but brief ascent) before a flat, pleasant ride parallel to Marina Green. Another incline up past historic Fort Point leads to the Golden Gate Bridge, which bikers cross to their final destination. After the seven-mile jaunt, most riders break for lunch, brews or ice cream and opt to take the ferry back. You have plenty of options for borrowing a pair of wheels if you haven’t brought your own. Blazing Saddles is one of several popular rental outfits. 2715 Hyde St., 415.202.8888, blazingsaddles.com

Pier 39

Get up Close to Marine Mammals You likely already know about the sea lions of Pier 39, but they’re just one of many marine mammals you can spot in the San Francisco Bay and along the Pacific Coast.

This month, countless gray whales pass through the Bay Area on their annual migration south, and elephant seals return here to breed. Seals, dolphins and otters are year-round regulars in the Bay Area, and if you’re lucky you might also see orcas and humpbacks this time of year. Read on for a look at the best spots to catch the action.

SAN FRANCISCO:

January is peak viewing time for gray whales, and a cruise out of Pier 39 almost guarantees you a sighting. SF Bay Whale Watching and San Francisco Whale Tours are just two companies offering trips to the Farrallon Islands, a gathering and feeding hub for migrating whales about 27 miles off the coast.

And it’s not uncommon for grays to make a brief detour into the bay. A stroll along the Golden Gate Bridge or Fort Point at the base of the bridge provides the best views of any passersby, which may also include dolphins, harbor porpoises and seals.

Of course California sea lions are almost always hauled out on the docks of Pier 39, sunbathing or fighting over the perfect spot.

If you want to learn more about these colorful creatures, Pier 39 is also home to the Sea Lion Center, which features interactive exhibits and regular presentations by local naturalists. While you’re on Pier 39, don’t miss the Aquarium of the Bay, where you’ll find river otters, the sevengill shark and other residents of the San Francisco Bay.

NORTH BAY:

Across the bay in the Marin Headlands, the Marine Mammal Center is a hospital and education facility that rescues and rehabilitates sick or injured marine mammals, primarily elephant seals, harbor seals and California

sea lions. Visitors can get up close with the patients, watch them feed and learn about the center’s efforts to preserve them.

Further north, Point Reyes peninsula extends 10 miles into the Pacific Ocean, offering some of the best views from land of migrating whales. Chimney Rock and the lighthouse are the two main vantage points, and in January, more than 1,000 whales can swim by the peninsula each day. Winter months also bring northern elephant seals to Point Reyes, and you can see what the local colony is up to at Elephant Seal Overlook, just a short walk from Chimney Rock.

About an hour north of Point Reyes, Bodega Bay Head is another popular spot for whale watching. Volunteer docents staff the area on weekends with spotting scopes and answers to all your whale questions, and several boat tours launch from the area as well.

SOUTH BAY

About an hour south of San Francisco down Highway 1, Half Moon Bay is the launching point for gray whale watching trips with the Oceanic Society. Led by an expert naturalist, these weekend tours follow gray whale migration pathways about 1-12 miles offshore, and you’ll see plenty of other wildlife on the way. As for humpback whales, the main population is well on its way to Hawaii and Mexico by January, but there’s a chance you’ll see one or two of these ocean

giants, famous for their majestic breach and powerful tail slap.

Further south, Año Nuevo state park is one of the largest mainland breeding colonies in the world for the northern elephant seal. Up to 10,000 of them pack the beaches of Año Nuevo for breeding season, which begins in December when the first males arrive. Weighing up to two and a half tons, these massive bulls compete for dominance in a violent spectacle that often leaves them both bloodied. To view the seals and their bizarre mating rituals this month, you’ll need to reserve a guided tour.

If you continue south for another hour, Monterey is one of the best places in the world to see marine wildlife. The famous Monterey Bay Aquarium is certainly worth a visit, but you can see many of the aquarium’s residents in the wild just minutes away.

The quiet fishing town of Moss Landing is one such place. Elkhorn Slough at Moss Landing is home to the largest community of southern sea otters on the West Coast. Rent a kayak from Kayak Connection, and there’s a good chance a curious otter will follow you or even try hopping aboard.

Harbor seals and California sea lions also frequent the seven-mile slough and estuary.

Based in Moss Landing, Sanctuary Cruises offers whale-watching tours aboard a biodiesel boat staffed with marine biologists. Like all Bay Area-based tours, grays are the main attraction this month, with occasional orca sightings as

well. Common dolphins are especially abundant this time of year, and you’ll likely see pods of them swimming along with the boat.

Beyond the seasonal visitors, these waters are popular year-round with Risso’s dolphins, seals, otters and at times, basking sharks and minke whales.

A Local’s Guide to Nob Hill

OPPOSITE PAGE: COURTESY SF TRAVEL. THIS PAGE: COURTESY HASHIMOTO CONTEMPORARY

Nob Hill is one of San Francisco’s most exclusive neighborhoods—that is, if you want to live there. To visit, you hardly need more than a comfortable pair of shoes to help you trek up and down the hill to enjoy views in every direction. It also doesn’t hurt to have this handy guide to some of the area’s most interesting restaurants, shops and galleries. BY BRITTANY SHOOT Start at the base of Nob Hill with breakfast at Farm:Table, a tiny cafe with big heart, strong espresso and a special daily toast topped with seasonal fruit. As you head out for the day, plan your route with stops at locally owned, independent merchants nearby, including antiquarian bookseller Argonaut Book Shop and the Town Cutler, which creates high-end knives from pocket-size blades to must-have cleavers for the serious home chef. Go the long way around Nob Hill to duck into urban oasis Utsuwa Floral Design for fit-in-your-pocket air plants and simple, tasteful home decor, the Marine Layer Workshop for impossibly soft tees and hoodies made in San Francisco and showroom-meets-art gallery Velvet da Vinci for one-of-a-kind contemporary wearables and jewelry.

Head up the hill for a visit to Grace Cathedral, an Episcopal cathedral where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a consecration sermon when the impressive hilltop church was completed in 1964. Look for the AIDS Chapel altarpiece by the celebrated late artist Keith Haring. At the nearby Cable Car Museum, you can watch the cables that pull San Francisco’s iconic streetcars up and down the steep hills and learn about the 1906 earthquake that devastated the city.

Break for lunch at the Nob Hill Cafe, a charming bistro beloved by local residents. Enjoy heaping bowls of pasta and hearty pizzas that will keep you going all afternoon. You’ll need the sustenance if you decide to take a stroll with San Francisco City Guides, a network offering various free neighborhood walking tours led by knowl-

edgeable docents. There is a designated Nob Hill tour, but you can also join a theme tour that encompasses the area, such as Alfred Hitchcock’s San Francisco, which includes hotels and retail spots used in famous films such as “Vertigo.”

Grab a midday snack at charming neighborhood bakery Cookie Love before heading to several art galleries tucked away from the main gallery rows of Union Square. Christian Daniels Gallery is a destination for fans of contemporary realism with a range of emerging and established artists on display. There are always several fascinating mixed media exhibitions at Hashimoto Contemporary, and next door, Spoke Art showcases a range of styles according to a theme.

For those craving a little rest and relaxation, escape in style at the Spa L’Occitane by the Bay at The Ritz-Carlton San Francisco. The new downtown retreat offers rejuvenating treatments to combat jet lag and refresh and body, as well as the mind.

For happy hour, head to The Fine Mousse, an only-in-San-Francisco bar pairing two of the world’s most perfect foods: french fries and sparking wines. The cozy corner spot will entice you to stay all night, but with plentiful dinner options in the neighborhood, venture out one last time.

Hawaiian-inspired Liholiho Yacht Club serves a mouth-watering array of small plates and mains easy for sharing, including the popular duck liver toast and grilled short ribs served with escargot and bone marrow. Tropical-themed cocktails pair well with dinner—and make a perfect nightcap to end a great day in the City by the Bay.

San Francisco Your Way

On a Budget

It’s worth the climb up the Filbert Street Steps to Telegraph Hill. At the top, admire panoramic views of the bay and the European-style tumble of buildings on the surrounding hills. Enter Coit Tower to admire the Depression-era murals on the first floor.

Buy tickets early to visit Alcatraz, the beautifully isolated site of a former maximumsecurity federal prison that is now one of the city's most popular visitor attractions. Only accessible by ferry, the island offers striking city views, and the 45-minute cellhouse audio tour is compelling. Don’t leave without taking a ride up and down the city's remarkable hills on a cable car, San Francisco's most fascinating form of transportation.

Located in Hayes Valley, the stunning SFJazz Center is the first venue in the country built specifically for jazz, and it’s the premier destination for the genre in the city. The Greek Theatre in Berkeley is the Bay Area's best outdoor venue—it was modeled after the ancient Greek theater of Epidaurus and has fantastic views of the Bay Bridge and San Francisco skyline. The world-renowned San Francisco Symphony led by the beloved Michael Tilson Thomas performs at Hayes Valley’s Davies Symphony Hall, which has served as a cultural landmark since 1911.

Some of the most famous conductors and composers in classical music have performed here.

The Sea Lion Center is a free educational destination right above the marine mammals’ famous Pier 39 hangout offering tours and an exhibit space. Also free, the Presidio Officers’ Club is a cultural center in a former military post turned national park that opened in 2014 inside the oldest building in the city. It’s home to a multimedia West Coast history gallery and hosts craft activities for kids, special exhibits and music performances. The Civil War-era brick Fort Point has a magnificent setting at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge and doesn’t require an admission fee. It guarded the bridge entrance for almost half a century until its original cannons were removed. Visitors can explore its brick casemates, grand arches and spiral stairs.
