Five Foods to Try in San Francisco in 2016
It’s quite possible that San Francisco is the only place in the world you could try these exact five foods all in the same month. Whether you’re a long time resident or a distant traveler, don’t miss your chance to try these amazingly unique foods before they’re gone.
Napa Valley Arts in April
It’s not too soon to begin planning your Napa Valley Arts in April excursions. Anticipate the sights, sounds, and tastes of this elegant Bay Area event. Enjoy music, art, food, history, and wine. In the Napa Valley, a wine capital of the world, who could forget the Sauvignon Blanc, the Zinfandel, or the Cabernet?
Brunch at Oakland’s Penrose
Are you looking for the ideal spot for a brunch date? Maybe you’re hoping to impress a special guy or that perfect gal, but you don’t want the get-together to carry the weight of an evening date. In this world of internet dating with apps such as Tinder, Match, and Bumble, singles often find themselves meeting up with people that they don’t know. Meeting potential mates through a friend of a friend is increasingly less common, and some daters don’t feel comfortable getting together with a stranger after dark. A fancy – but not too fancy! – brunch with the perfect ambience can set the ideal scene. Who knows? This date might be the first page of a true romance in the making. It’s important to get the details right.
Seafood Friday Tasting in San Jose
Are you familiar with the health benefits of seafood? Experts state that those who eat seafood reap the benefits of the right kinds of omega fatty acids. Moreover, people who eat fish are getting their daily doses of a variety of important vitamins, such as Vitamin A and Vitamin D, and minerals like selenium and magnesium. Recent research shows that the omega-3 fatty acids are good for the heart, can reduce joint pain, and might even prevent depression.
Whale Watching at the Farallon Islands
Twenty-seven miles west of San Francisco lies the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary – one of the world’s most unique ecosystems teeming with diverse marine life. While the rocky islands themselves are somewhat mysterious (closed to the public and inhabited only by scientists and researchers from Point Blue Conservation Science and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), there are several tour and charter vessels that travel out to these islands nearly everyday year round for one very exciting purpose – to view a wide array of wildlife and most importantly, spot a breaching whale.

From beautiful beaches, to city skylines, to mile-high redwood trees, it’s no question that the Bay Area is full of sweeping views.

There are several to choose from, and all are worth the climb, but we’ve narrowed it down for you to the top five.

Haunted Hornet – Prepare to be Terrified
If you enjoy haunted houses, hayrides, corn mazes, asylums, and amusement parks, then you are in for a nightmarish treat: the Haunted Hornet. As opposed to the traditional haunted locations that take place in forests, buildings, or fields, the Haunted Hornet takes you through perhaps the most scream-inducing adventure of them all, and it all happens on the water.
