Traveler advice
Don't miss
Wednesdays farmer's market is a must.
its only a few blocks away near chipotle.
Getting around
Bart is right across the street
It runs until around midnight, and goes all around the bay.
Customs and culture
Always bring a jacket.
If you plan on staying out till it gets later, bring at least a light coat because hot days can cool off quickly.
( Dress in layers, cold days can switch up on you too)
