Once the home of the City’s dairy farms, Cow Hollow is now the cusp of SF's trendy, upscale culture. We’ll visit legendary rock & roll venue, The Matrix Club, where Santana, the Doors, & Jefferson Airplane recorded some of their most legendary sets. I’ll share some stories from the 60s & 70s when this psychedelic chateau was in its prime. Down the road, boutiques, top-class cafés, and artisan storefronts give the Victorian scenery of Union Street a new vibe. We’ll visit landmarks like the funky eight-sided Octagon House before ascending to the Pacific Heights district. Enjoy the fresh air & views at Lyon Steps before descending through spiraling gardens & sharp hedges to the Presidio. Here, we will learn about war history & Star Wars history at the Lucasfilm Campus. Our last stop is the lagoon at the Palace of Fine Arts, where Greco-Roman columns & rotundas are twice as nice in the reflective pond. Then we head over to popular Chestnut street. "Snack stops" made for local bites!
