Hi guys! My name is Cameron Phillips and today I’m guest vlogging for EF.
I’m from San Francisco, California, and I’m here to give you an insider’s tour of San Francisco.
We’re going to visit four different neighborhoods and show you an iconic place to eat,
something to do, and why I like them and what makes them special.
It’s going to be an amazing day. Welcome to San Francisco.
We’ll also show you where the EF school is located.
This is Mission Dolores Park.
This is a really amazing place to hang out if you’re in the Mission District.
On the weekends, if it’s a nice day, you’ll find thousands of people all over the park having picnics.
It’s honestly such a great place. I’ve been here several times.
What I really love about Mission Dolores Park is that you can see the incredible vista
of San Francisco, and across to the open hills, way across the Bay.
It’s such a great place to hang out. If you’re in this area, I definitely recommend it.
We’re on our way to Tartine Bakery, which is in the Mission District.
It’s an iconic feature of San Francisco. They have incredible pastries and bread.
It’s a great place to go if you’re going to have a picnic in the park.
It’s definitely a must-stop in the Mission District.
Let’s unbox the pastry.
Mmmm. So good! I got the orange zest.
After you’ve had your iconic pastry from Tartine, you’ve got head down to the Bi-Rite Market
to get the supplies for your picnic in the park.
So, that is the Mission District, a short and sweet roundabout tour.
I also definitely recommend the restaurant, El Techo.
It’s a great, fun restaurant with a nice rooftop to enjoy a skyline view.
Up next, we’re off to Fisherman’s Wharf, an iconic staple of San Francisco
that I’m sure you’ve heard of and recognize. I’m going to show you a great place to eat,
and what makes it special besides just the tourist aspect.
Let’s just drive on over there and see what we find at Fisherman’s Wharf.
We’ve made it to the famous Fisherman’s Wharf, which might seem very touristy.
Honestly, it is. You’ll find every kind of tourist shop you want.
So, if you’re looking for souvenirs, this is the place to come.
But on top of that, Fisherman’s Wharf actually is the place where they do bring in fresh seafood.
So, if you’re into seafood, this is a great place to come.
We’re going to try some Dungeness crab, which is the San Francisco specialty,
and have a little lunch here in Fisherman’s Wharf. Let’s go!
Fisherman’s Wharf was as iconic as always.
We had an amazing clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl,
the most iconic San Francisco staple from Boudin Bakery,
which is a must-stop if you’re in the Fisherman’s Wharf area.
Near Fisherman’s Wharf is the EF School’s location.
It’s just around the corner with super convenient access to all the best features of the city.
Now we’re off to North Beach, which is the Italian district of San Francisco.
It’s a beautiful little neighborhood full of amazing pizzerias, gelaterias,
and everything else Italian that you can imagine. There’s such a great community and culture there.
It’s a great place to just hang out, walk around, and explore different restaurants.
If you’re ever in North Beach, there is something that you have to go see,
and that something is called Lombard Street,
which happens to be the world’s most crooked street.
My travel partner Danny does not know about Lombard Street,
and I think he’s about to be shook. Okay, are you ready?
Oh my gosh. This street is literally a zigzag.
It is the world’s most crooked street and it has the most amazing view.
This street is so absurd.
It’s hard to believe that this is actually a real street, but it’s definitely a must-see.
Luckily there aren’t that many tourists right now.
The Italian Homemade Company is an amazing restaurant.
Also, North Beach has a great walkability to it.
You can walk around and have a picnic in the park again.
There are so many great, outdoor, nice-weather activities that you can do in San Francisco.
North Beach has a European flare. You can walk around.
There are coffee shops, gelato shops, and everything you need right all in one place.
Now we’ve made it to our final neighborhood, the Embarcadero,
and we’re going to specifically look at the Ferry Building,
which is an iconic landmark of San Francisco, right at the end of Market 3; you can’t miss it.
Inside, there is a wide variety of restaurants, shops, coffee and pastry shops ….
We’re going to look at two specific places today: Blue Bottle Coffee and Miette Patisserie,
So you can go and get nice pastries, croissants, and everything else you need there.
It’s honestly a great place. I love the Ferry Building.
You can find anything you need in there.
Let’s go for a walk along the water.
The sun has come out today and it’s such a beautiful day here.
I hope you guys enjoyed coming along today on the insider’s guide to San Francisco.
