"Arching over the Golden Gate Strait, which connects the Pacific Ocean to the San Francisco Bay, the defining landmark of the city links San Francisco to Marin and Sausalito. At just under two miles, it's walkable by foot but also easy to see by car. It's hard to understand the magnitude or beauty of the bridge until you cross it. Stop outside the Welcome Center at the statue of Joseph Strauss, the bridge's designer, and look for the plaques explaining the bridge’s history and, of course, grab the obligatory snapshot. For more insights of the bridge’s backstory, sign up for a free walking tour of the bridge with San Francisco City Guides." - Kimberley Lovato, Carey Jones
"The Angel Island pedestrian walkway may close at 9 p.m., but there’s no reason you can’t time a drive over the Bay’s expanse to catch the fireworks kicking off at 9:30 p.m."
"During a Bay Area visit, the host and Samin Nosrat tour a chicken farm and attempt to butcher birds to make a roast chicken with the freshest ingredients; the work proves too messy, so they abandon it and head into the city. The outing turns into a lively, queer-focused tour that includes a Castro drag show and ends at an iconic street fair, where a ruined button-down is swapped for a leather outfit amid the celebratory atmosphere." - James Park
