Signature San Francisco Few Cities Are As Connected to Iconic Foods As San Francisco

RochRev_Fall2018.indb 42 10/24/18 5:28 PM CITY OF LOVE: There is something for everyone in San Francisco, say our alumni tour guides who live and work in the Bay Area. Carol Karp ’74 (left) visits San Francisco’s Ferry Building for its farmers market and choice of restaurants. “Tourists and locals alike enjoy everything the area has to offer,” she says.

Signature San Francisco Few cities are as connected to iconic foods as San Francisco. Sourdough bread Boudin Bakery—San Francisco’s oldest bakery, now with multiple locations—has been using the same sourdough starter, also known as “Mother Dough,” since the Gold Rush of 1849. That’s what gives the bakery’s bread an exceptionally tangy flavor. Cheese A trip to the Cowgirl Creamery yields a large selection of delicious gourmet cheeses, including organic goat cheese, soft cow milk cheese, and even one named after the local Mount Tam. Chocolate In addition to the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, Karp suggests Rec- chuitu Confections, a Parisian-inspired local company that serves up many goodies, among them a s’mores bite—a sweet concoction that combines vanilla bean marshmallows, handmade graham crackers, and, of course, chocolate. Coffee Several alumni recommend Philz for its drip coffees with mean- ingful names and Equator Coffees & Teas, which is dedicated to sustainability and social responsibility. It also serves delicious “early bird” tacos for breakfast. (Get there early; they sell out fast.) Parks and Rec Getting—and playing—outside is easy in the Bay Area.

d Sutro Baths 1004 Point Lobos Avenue Only the remnants of the once spectacular baths—or, really, pools— remain. Named after Adolph Sutro, a wealthy resident and former city mayor, the baths are now part of the Golden Gate National Rec- reation Area. Visit the baths and then explore a vast network of trails that leads to beaches in one direction and to spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco Bay in the other. “This is one of the city’s magical pockets,” says Fang, who visits regularly to relax, enjoy a sunset, learn some history, or go for a run or a hike.

e The Presidio’s Main Post San Francisco Several alumni recommend the park and former military fort where, some say, San Francisco began. Native peoples lived in the area for thousands of years, then the Spanish built a fort, and later, it became a US Army post. Today, it’s a national park site that offers cultural events, restaurants, and outdoor activities. Start at the Visitor’s Cen- ter and explore bike paths and walkways through old Army buildings and a military cemetery. Make your way to the Golden Gate Bridge.

rr_Fall2018_Town.indd 46 10/26/18 2:21 PM Arts and Culture From visual arts to performing arts to cultural activities, the Bay Area has it all.

g San Francisco Museum of Modern Art 151 3rd Street Each alumni guide recommends SFMOMA. Dedicated to 20th- century art, it is one of the largest modern and contemporary art museums in the country by square footage and features the work of Andy Warhol, Ellsworth Kelly, Diane Arbus, Roy Lichtenstein, Alexander Calder, and many of their contemporaries. Tip: The San Francisco CityPASS offers discounted admission to some of the area’s most popular attractions, including SFMOMA, which also offers free admission to those 18 years old and younger.

h San Francisco performing arts district The central area near the Hayes Valley neighborhood is home to the San Francisco Symphony, San Francisco Opera, SFJAZZ Center, San Francisco Ballet, and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. It also has a large concentration of theaters. “There is always something to see and hear here,” says Smith. “Plus the area’s restaurants offer wonderful places to wine and dine before or after a performance.” BACK IN TIME: Zakia Barnes ’04, ’17S (MBA) sits outside Heinold’s First and i Cantor Arts Center and the Anderson Collection Last Chance Saloon in Oakland. “There’s 328 Lomita Drive at Museum Way, Stanford University a ton of history in this pub,” she says.

Both are open to the public. The Stanford University campus offers a variety of sightseeing and educational opportunities. Highlights include the Hoover Tower ob- servation platform (named after President Herbert Hoover, a Stan- ford alumnus), Bing Concert Hall, Memorial Church, and access to many outdoor activities, including a hike to the Dish, a recreational area that also serves academic and conservation purposes. “Stan- ford is really a self-contained city,” says Pizzo. “The campus has everything I need, from running trails to athletic events to performing arts programs, not to mention the tremendous medical and research facilities here.”

Take—or Get Off—the Beaten Path

j Alcatraz to Angel Island Alcatraz Island sits just a mile offshore from San Francisco. Visitors can take a ferry to the infamous prison, now operated by the Nation- al Park Service, or they can find other ways to get on the water. Karp suggests taking a ride on one of San Francisco’s Red and White Fleet cruises. Tickets are easy to get and the views are extraordinary. Or grab a ferry to Angel Island, suggests Hopton. Operated by Califor- nia State Parks, the ferry is only a short ride from the city and offers 360-degree views of the entire Bay Area.

k Muir Woods to Mount Tam Located north of San Francisco, in Marin County, the famous redwoods of Muir Woods lure huge crowds daily. Tickets and reserva- tions are required and must be ordered in advance. For that reason—and a few others—locals often trek to Mount Ta- malpais instead, says Hopton. Just a hairpin turn or two from Muir Woods, “Mount Tam” offers a rich web of trails, some leading to

David Fang ’05, ’11 (PhD) is on the Hajim School’s Visiting Council and the Bay Area Network Leadership Cabinet. He recently attended an event with students on a tour of technology-oriented companies in the Bay Area sponsored by the Gwen M. Greene Center for Career Education and Connections. “It’s important to give young people a practical taste of what their futures might hold,” he says. “It can ground them and inspire them at the same time.” Fang is also a volunteer with Real Reader, a University program that connects alumni with students and offers ongoing professional counsel and feedback, including advice on résumés, interviewing, and more. Phil Pizzo ’70M (MD) and Carol Karp ’74 serve on the Univer- sity’s Board of Trustees and are former cochairs of the Bay Area Network Leadership Cabinet. Pizzo also has a close advisory relationship with Mark Taubman, CEO of the University’s Medical Center and UR Medicine. Karp also serves as chair of the River Campus Libraries National Council and on the recently formed Alumni Board. She has been inspired, she says, by “the commitment to the Uni- versity demonstrated by the exemplary support of our former board chair, Ed Hajim, and our newly appointed board chair, Rich Handler.” Zakia Barnes ’04, ’17S (MBA) is part of the Alumni Board and the Diversity Advisory Council, and serves as a Simon Business School mentor. “Being connected to my alma mater is rewarding and keeps me grounded,” she says. “I encourage everyone to get involved—we can all grow from sharing our experiences and perspectives with one another.” —Kristine Thompson
