July 3, 2013, San Francisco, CA — The Fisherman’s Wharf Community Benefit District has completed the latest project in their series of neighborhood improvements and beautification — a restoration of the district’s most iconic symbol, the crab wheel, located at Jefferson Street and Taylor Street. A sturdier replica of this San Francisco icon, made from more resilient materials and equipped with environmentally-friendly LED lighting was unveiled today. The completion of this project comes just in time for the Fisherman’s Wharf July 4 celebration, the beginning of tourist season, and America’s Cup summer festivities. 

San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf is expected to be a lot more crowded for the upcoming holiday weekend.  According to priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN), Fisherman’s Wharf ranks #4 on the list of the Top 50 Destinations for July 4th.  The Union Square East neighborhood also made the list at #25.  New Orleans’ French Quarter is the most popular destination this year, followed by Chicago’s North Michigan Avenue at #2 and New York City’s Midtown West at #3.  For the first time, Paris neighborhoods took four spots on the July 4th Top 50 list.

Fisherman's Wharf will be home to San Francisco's very first Applebee's. From our understanding, the Fisherman's Wharf location will be the West Coast flagship restaurant for the nationwide chain and will be situated in a third-story space at the corner of Jefferson and Taylor Streets with spectacular views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay. We hear that the restaurant's design will be tasteful and contemporary and include balconies where guests can sit and enjoy beverages while taking in the views.

The Fisherman’s Wharf Zero Waste Program was created to encourage waste prevention and reduction, recycling, and composting at all businesses. The FWCBD will acknowledge neighborhood hotels, restaurants, businesses, and attractions as they achieve this goal, and will promote this recognition to the community and visitors. Details about the Zero Waste Program can be found atwww.visitfishermanswharf.com/zero-waste-initiatives/zero-waste-recognition-program.

“Over the past two years, with the aid of the city’s Department of Environment and L2 Environmental, Fisherman’s Wharf businesses have been working hard to make our district a zero waste zone,” said Troy Campbell, FWCBD Executive Director. “In an area of the city that receives over 8 million visitors a year, we want to make sure we are doing everything we can to limit waste and increase our diversion rate. This program allows us to recognize those businesses that have made great strides and have achieved the zero waste goals and continue to maintain them.”
