GUIDE: THE BAY AREA

I grew up 1.5 hours away from San Francisco, which was simply called THE city. It contains multitudes, has been destroyed and re-birthed in the throes of late capitalism, the tech industry and experimental drug use (for good and for bad.) When I'm there, I can tell we're riding an up swing, things are feeling good and some magic is back in the air. Here are some places I have come to love.
