...With more than 30 locations across the state, Boudin Bakery is a California classic for sandwiches, soup, salad and of course fresh-baked sourdough. Founded in San Francisco in 1849, Burgundian master baker Isidore Boudin sought to combine French breadmaking techniques with the sourdough popular among Californian gold miners. To this day, every single loaf of sourdough produced by Boudin uses the original yeast-bacteria culture, maintained through the centuries for a distinctive, instantly-recognizable taste.
What better way to celebrate more than 165 years of San Francisco sourdough tradition with a meeting at Bistro Boudin, the bakery’s flagship facility? The 26,000-square-foot facility has a café, museum and a fine-dining restaurant with stunning views of Alcatraz, Angel Island and the rest of the scenic San Francisco Bay. The main dining room seats up to 270 for dinner and 400 for cocktail receptions.

A new study commissioned by San Francisco finds that extending the $1.59 billion Central Subway to Fisherman's Wharf would draw thousands of new riders. Construction is underway on the Central Subway's 1.7 mile route, which is now slated to go from the Caltrain station at Fourth and King Streets to Chinatown and open in 2019. The proposed extension project would construct a North Beach station and extend the tracks to one or two stations at Fisherman's Wharf. The study is the first analysis of what it would mean to connect the rail line to those two neighborhoods, which are among San Francisco's most tourist-heavy.

When Lacresha Whitfield brought her daughters to Pier 39 last year to write letters to Santa as part of a more-than-century-old U.S. Postal Service holiday campaign, she never expected that their wishes would come true.
Recalling how the San Francisco family received anonymous gifts in the mail that were exactly what the girls had asked for -- a Monster High doll for Mackenzie, now 8, and puzzles and blocks for Madison, now 2 -- Whitfield said they decided they had to come back this year for another dose of Christmas magic.
...Fall’s annual crab frenzy is upon us — like the Beaujoulais Nouveau release, only much, much better.
“Fishermen are happy, customers appear to be happy, so we’re just swamped,” says a tired-sounding Angel Cincotta of Alioto-Lazio Fish Co., a seafood supplier on Fisherman’s Wharf.

AS MUCH AS WE SELL OURSELVES... on the idea that we float through a shrink-wrapped, everything-at-any-time calendar, and the world outside our door is an overflowing cornucopia that always has a bevy of whatever bite we crave, the earth still abides by the seasons, which means that yes, there is a time for all things. The foods of the sea are very much incorporated in that hold-fast philosophy, with Dungeness dominating that roster, at least around NorCal when the middle of fall arrives. For early November is crab time 'round San Francisco and points north, and a number of spots right on the water and a pinch inland'll be filling out holiday orders, creating special stews and hot pots, and serving the crab goodness straight-up, all month long.

The largest Italian Heritage Parade the city has ever seen will march through Fisherman’s Wharf and North Beach on Sunday, Oct. 12. And that’s saying a lot, considering it’s San Francisco’s oldest civic event, celebrating its 146th year, and the nation’s oldest Italian-American parade. “This year is going to be the biggest parade we’ve had so far,” said Tony Passanisi, president of the nonprofit Columbus Day Celebration Committee. “We’ve had to stop taking entries.” Eighty-seven units – some containing hundreds of people – will march. It starts at Jefferson and Stockton Streets in Fisherman’s Wharf, proceeds south through North Beach on Columbus Avenue, and ends in Washington Square in front of Sts. Peter and Paul Church. Parade viewing is available throughout the route. Passanisi wasn’t sure why this year attracted so many entrants, but guessed the good weather lately or the excitement surrounding the return of Fleet Week might be reasons.
