This walking tour along San Francisco’s waterfront will highlight several new restaurants within converted pier buildings that are helping to revitalize the edge of the city where land meets bay. Starting at the Ferry Building—the heart of it all—the tour will migrate north around the bayside of the Ferry Building, continuing around the perimeter of Piers 1.5, 3 and 5, before stopping at LaMar and ending at The Plant, named the “greenest café in the city.” At each restaurant, the tour will meet with the chef and/or owner of the venue, discussing what drew each operator to the waterfront, and what challenges they faced by moving into these historic spaces. The evening will be filled with light food and drinks at each stop, showcasing the culinary talents of each featured chef.

Tour led by Cass Calder Smith of CCS Architecture.

The tour will conclude at 18 Reasons, a nonprofit community space devoted to engaging community through food and art, for a tasting of the collected fruits.
