Much of San Francisco's strength lies in the diversity of its population. Explore the variety of cultures in Chinatown, Japantown or the traditionally Italian North Beach (to name just a few). There is a place for everyone within this city's limits. You can go incognito as a street musician if that's your style ... become a weekend surfer ... or hang out with the college crowd at Berkeley or Stanford. For the social-goers, San Francisco is alive and diverse. This is definitely one city that knows how to throw a party. Her spectacular soirees to celebrate the Chinese New Year, St. Patrick's Day and Halloween are among the most festive in the world. And with consistently mild temperatures that rarely exceed 80 or sink below 40, this area's entertainment scene is always in season. For dining in San Francisco, there are endless choices. Try some authentic Tuscan cuisine on the patio of Giardino's, overlook the Pacific waters at the Cliff House Restaurant, or enjoy some of the Bay Area's best pizza at Tommaso's. After dinner, head for a drink in the railroad flat-style Wish Bar and Lounge, or catch a concert at San Francisco's famed Fillmore Auditorium - don't forget to take an apple from the entryway barrel, a Fillmore tradition! Residential suburbs of San Francisco, like Santa Rosa and Palo Alto, offer all the joys of a California climate and ambience, with the city just a short drive away. Travel south along the Bay and you will find yourself smack dab in the heart of the Silicon Valley. Cities such as Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and San Jose hit their own pot of gold as the leaders of the technological revolution. Transportation is made easy by the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system. The east side of the Bay is home to the major city of Oakland, as well as quiet and charming cities like San Leandro and Walnut Creek. In addition to welcoming neighborhoods, historical sites, art centers, garden museums, city and state parks and recreation facilities, the East Bay communities enjoy the luxury of location. Just minutes to San Francisco, an hour to Napa Valley, a few hours east to Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, and a short-day trip south to Monterey, East Bayers are never far from where they want to go. Much like the glory days of the Gold Rush, the San Francisco Bay Area is rich in wealth and opportunity. But it's the enchanting hidden treasures that will make her your home.
