San Francisco is home to dreamers and pioneers, hippies and hipsters. The city shines with a colorful history and world-famous landmarks. But it is also a treasure trove of unusual places and hidden curiosities. Did you know, for example, that the best view of the bay is from a cemetery? Or that there is a staircase that takes you from the depths of the ocean to the heights of space? Follow in the footsteps of the Beat poets, rock icons, and literary rebels. Author Floriana Petersen will show you the other, the true San Francisco, away from the well-trodden paths.
