My absolute favorite place in San Francisco is the Ferry Building. Although many locals consider it a complete tourist destination, I have no problem with that. I love that it's by the water and looking out at the piers make me feel so uninhibited, fresh, nostalgic, and melancholy all at once. But it also makes me so appreciative that I live in San Francisco.
Other than just walking around and people watching, I like to explore the Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. The food vendors are amazing and so far, my favorite has been Primavera. At my friend's recommendation, I tried Chilaquiles for the first time and it was so good! Per usual, I left wanting to recreate the dish at home.

I also stopped by a random donut vendor and had to try their Strawberry Jelly Donut.

Acme Bread inside the Ferry Building Marketplace has wonderful freshly baked bread. I've tried a few varieties but the Cranberry Whole Wheat Raisin Walnut wins my top vote. I also actually met the farmer who supplies Acme with the thyme for their breads at a farm down south.
On another separate afternoon at the Farmers Market, I won CUESA Ferry Building's 20th Birthday Celebration Treasure Hunt and received $50 worth of tokens to spend at the market. I was ecstatic and decided to get coffee at Blue Bottle and Carne Asada Tacos at Primavera. Delicioso.
