The 30 Best Things to Do in San Francisco in 2025

"Dedicated to the Beat Generation, this small museum—founded in 2003—houses over 1,000 pieces of memorabilia including Allen Ginsberg’s typewriter and a first edition of Jack Kerouac’s The Town and the City; they hold regular events and walking tours of the surrounding neighborhood, it’s open Thursday–Monday from 10am–7pm, and admission is $8." - Matthew Kepnes
