at 15 mins in, just have to correct- those aren't "murals"! They are FRESCOS! Meaning that the artist painted with color mixed with the wall material, not just ON TOP OF a wall. Murals are paint on walls, these are frescos all through coit tower, so dope- fresh paint mixed with plaster so its real permanent part of the building. and solid messages of ppl who actually make America great like workers and skill sets etc.
Mission style burritos, ice cream from bi-rite, And a picnic in Dolores Park has always been one of my favorite things to do in the city
Musee Mechanique is such a fun place especially if you like old amusement park history
The De young has the free tower view inside, called the Hamon Observation tower.
I live in Sausalito it costs at least 20.00 to walk out the door!
