If you didn’t know, burritos as we know & love them today originated in the early 60’s in San Francisco’s Mission District, so this is actually a great opportunity for you to experience them. Perhaps you even become a little tipsy at our wedding and meander into one of the nearby mission burrito spots. I don’t understand how or why exactly, but every burrito that’s not from SF is not as good.
Taqueria El Buen Sabor - bron’s favorite SF burrito
Guadalajara - Zack’s favorite SF burrito
El Farolito - SF’s favorite SF burrito (the OG) (open very late!)
Leo’s Taco Truck - al pastor taco is beloved
La Taqueria - Zack’s favorite taco (long lines though :/ )
Underdogs tacos (any location) - tasty casual tacos, less busy than La Taq, if you get ur taco “nick’s way,” it is sure to be the most indulgent taco you will ever experience
The Little Chihuahua - honorable mention burrito, but only if you need a gluten free tortilla TBH but it’s really good

Closest airport (SFO)
SFO is a 20 min drive to the venue (~30 min on BART)
Oakland Airport (OAK)
OAK is a ~30 min drive (traffic dependent) (~50 minutes on BART)
BART station nearest to venue:
getting to sf
★
There is a BART station inside of the airport at SFO that will take you to the 24th st station in the Mission District, which is only a couple blocks away from our venue.
★
The 24th station in the Mission District has elevators and escalators for luggage/accessibility.
★
If you’re comfortable navigating it, you can get pretty much anywhere citywide using BART/public transit, and not having to find parking in SF is a real blessing.

For the wedding, we recommend using a rideshare or public transit; street parking in this area is metered & extremely limited.
Nearest parking garage
Mission Bartlett Garage
3255 21st St, San Francisco, CA 94110
(check for current hourly rates)
Ticketing/parking app for drivers
I recommend downloading the app Ticketless+. It’s locally developed, completely free, no ads, privacy protected. It functions to disclose all publicly listed SF parking ticket hour restrictions, as well as tracking your real-time parking locations. It can also send notifications prior to street cleaning/ticketing times. I think the app is still in beta, so you can do your own research if you’re super serious about privacy.

We put together a short list of hotels within a reasonable distance from the venue.
I included approximate commute times to the venue and researched rough pricing estimates.
But definitely double check my work for your own trip!
Note on the neighborhoods
The districts within SF are as differentially defined as her microclimates (bring layers for real).
Seeking shelter in SF is a pricey endeavor; the Tenderloin area tends to have cheaper hotel options with more availability.
Only thing to know- it can be a hectic neighborhood. But it’s harmless and cool if you have street smarts/respect and know what to expect. It boasts lots of our coolest churches and restaurants and bars, so don’t be shy, be smart 😀
Also- Union Square and SoMa can be a little more bustling than other neighborhoods, if that’s any concern to you when choosing where to stay.

Accessibility
★
Everyone should consider the hills when planning walking routes. You can always check the topographical map when mapping routes.
★
Uber/Lyft both have WAV (wheelchair-accessible vehicle) request options in SF if anyone needs it.
★
Sidewalks should be accessible in the Mission District, but they can be uneven, crowded, and spotty... just a heads up for anyone planning their commute with a mobility device.
★
There is a curb cut near both the venue’s entry points, by the doors on both the North and East sides of the building’s corner

Kinda the golden rule for anyone out of town to keep in top of mind-
There is no neighborhood in SF where you should leave anything at all in your car visible through the windows.
Unless u wanna end up like the bip lebowski :(
Street smarts
Drivers pls be extra watchful!! Pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters, e-scooterers (sp?) have the right of way here, and will use it.
Don’t forget to bring layers! It gets seriously cold when the sun goes down. Light sweaters, puffers, wool, leather coats, they’re all probs potentially useful.

Since the venue itself is brand new, it’s not really established or searchable online. So that’s the reason our venue is coming off like it’s a speakeasy. It’s the new music/entertainment venue from Arcana, very cool and locally very beloved dj/event space/natural wine & plant purveyor in the mission district. I’m not flexing our venue I just do love them.
You won’t find much about the space online, but it does exist at the address we’ve provided.
And if it clears up any confusion, it did use to be a Chase bank. And I did do my banking in there, back when I first moved to the mission with Ife. Awww ●‿●

Green Apple Books (any location) - we love her. SF’s pride & joy bookstore, with lots of miscellaneous treasures
City Lights Bookstore - Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s North Beach beat lit haven, since 1953… I’d been pining to visit this place ever since I was a McSweeney’s-obsessed high schooler in Texas. After moving here, I was really relieved to discover this building still contains the same magic 💫
Amoeba Records - you know her you love her
Woot Bear - tiny Haight st shop, filled with tiny action figures and collectible toys pretty much entirely from Japan. She’s so cute
Tantrum - fun kids store
Rare Device - gift shop
Paxton Gate - taxidermy and oddities in the Mission
Shops
posted 10 days ago with 415 notes via zachary&bronwyn
Battery Spencer - best golden gate bridge photo op
Cable Car Museum
Legion of Honor Museum - magical Rodin displays are found here
Meander Haight Street’s zillion vintage and tibetan shops. GGP is nearby too
Golden Gate Park - Japanese Tea Garden, Strawberry Hill, Stow Lake, Hippie Hill, DeYoung Museum, Cal Academy of Sciences, Conservatory of Flowers!! I could go on forever
Visit the parrots at Telegraph Hill :)
Dolores Park - the Mission District’s grassy hub, the sun shines on the Mission District the most… picnics go harder here, so bring a blankie and speaker, will probably see fun park vendors selling weird stuff, you always see like 12 truly wild sights here too
Crissy Field is the most accessible beach, also the windiest. In the Marina, which can be cute if you like sailboats. Lots of parking; the lot is right in front of the beach
Baker Beach is Bron’s favorite (typically the sunniest) but if you walk too far East, you’re on a nude beach fyi. China Beach comes in close second, but the stairs for beach access can be a real B word
Ocean Beach is Zack’s favorite I think because it reminds him of surfing
Fort Funston - dog-filled beach, super windy cliffs, there’s a swing somewhere
Lands End to Sutro Baths - classic cliffside stroll, but the baths are potentially haunted
Twin Peaks - car commercial mecca of the world with city views, watch out for all the skaters/hillbombers tho. Oh and don’t leave any stuff in your car there because you’ll get instantly bipped
Point Reyes - a little roadtrip will bring you to extreme coastal wilderness and beautiful seacliff hikes. Usually will spot a wild creature or two, always some smelly seals, and could see some whales in October if you’re lucky!!!
Muir Woods - closest redwood spot🔌
Ferry Building Farmers Market- on Saturdays, so huge and right on the wharf. But our favorite farmer’s market is on Sundays, on 4th and Clement St

Golden Gate Park - Japanese Tea Garden, Strawberry Hill, Stow Lake, Hippie Hill, DeYoung Museum, Cal Academy of Sciences, Conservatory of Flowers!! I could go on forever
Visit the parrots at Telegraph Hill :)
Dolores Park - the Mission District’s grassy hub, the sun shines on the Mission District the most… picnics go harder here, so bring a blankie and speaker, will probably see fun park vendors selling weird stuff, you always see like 12 truly wild sights here too
Crissy Field is the most accessible beach, also the windiest. In the Marina, which can be cute if you like sailboats. Lots of parking; the lot is right in front of the beach
Baker Beach is Bron’s favorite (typically the sunniest) but if you walk too far East, you’re on a nude beach fyi. China Beach comes in close second, but the stairs for beach access can be a real B word
Ocean Beach is Zack’s favorite I think because it reminds him of surfing
Fort Funston - dog-filled beach, super windy cliffs, there’s a swing somewhere
Lands End to Sutro Baths - classic cliffside stroll, but the baths are potentially haunted
Twin Peaks - car commercial mecca of the world with city views, watch out for all the skaters/hillbombers tho. Oh and don’t leave any stuff in your car there because you’ll get instantly bipped
Point Reyes - a little roadtrip will bring you to extreme coastal wilderness and beautiful seacliff hikes. Usually will spot a wild creature or two, always some smelly seals, and could see some whales in October if you’re lucky!!!
Muir Woods - closest redwood spot🔌
Ferry Building Farmers Market- on Saturdays, so huge and right on the wharf. But our favorite farmer’s market is on Sundays, on 4th and Clement St

Closest airport (SFO)
SFO is a 20 min drive to the venue (~30 min on BART)
Oakland Airport (OAK)
OAK is a ~30 min drive (traffic dependent) (~50 minutes on BART)
BART station nearest to venue:
getting to sf
★
There is a BART station inside of the airport at SFO that will take you to the 24th st station in the Mission District, which is only a couple blocks away from our venue.
★
The 24th station in the Mission District has elevators and escalators for luggage/accessibility.
★
If you’re comfortable navigating it, you can get pretty much anywhere citywide using BART/public transit, and not having to find parking in SF is a real blessing.
posted 2 days ago with 415 notes via zachary&bronwyn
For the wedding, we recommend using a rideshare or public transit; street parking in this area is metered & extremely limited.
Nearest parking garage
Mission Bartlett Garage
3255 21st St, San Francisco, CA 94110
(check for current hourly rates)
Ticketing/parking app for drivers
I recommend downloading the app Ticketless+. It’s locally developed, completely free, no ads, privacy protected. It functions to disclose all publicly listed SF parking ticket hour restrictions, as well as tracking your real-time parking locations. It can also send notifications prior to street cleaning/ticketing times. I think the app is still in beta, so you can do your own research if you’re super serious about privacy.

We put together a short list of hotels within a reasonable distance from the venue.
I included approximate commute times to the venue and researched rough pricing estimates.
But definitely double check my work for your own trip!
Note on the neighborhoods
The districts within SF are as differentially defined as her microclimates (bring layers for real).
Seeking shelter in SF is a pricey endeavor; the Tenderloin area tends to have cheaper hotel options with more availability.
Only thing to know- it can be a hectic neighborhood. But it’s harmless and cool if you have street smarts/respect and know what to expect. It boasts lots of our coolest churches and restaurants and bars, so don’t be shy, be smart 😀
Also- Union Square and SoMa can be a little more bustling than other neighborhoods, if that’s any concern to you when choosing where to stay.

Accessibility
★
Everyone should consider the hills when planning walking routes. You can always check the topographical map when mapping routes.
★
Uber/Lyft both have WAV (wheelchair-accessible vehicle) request options in SF if anyone needs it.
★
Sidewalks should be accessible in the Mission District, but they can be uneven, crowded, and spotty... just a heads up for anyone planning their commute with a mobility device.
★
There is a curb cut near both the venue’s entry points, by the doors on both the North and East sides of the building’s corner

Kinda the golden rule for anyone out of town to keep in top of mind-
There is no neighborhood in SF where you should leave anything at all in your car visible through the windows.
Unless u wanna end up like the bip lebowski :(
Street smarts
Drivers pls be extra watchful!! Pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters, e-scooterers (sp?) have the right of way here, and will use it.
Don’t forget to bring layers! It gets seriously cold when the sun goes down. Light sweaters, puffers, wool, leather coats, they’re all probs potentially useful.

Since the venue itself is brand new, it’s not really established or searchable online. So that’s the reason our venue is coming off like it’s a speakeasy. It’s the new music/entertainment venue from Arcana, very cool and locally very beloved dj/event space/natural wine & plant purveyor in the mission district. I’m not flexing our venue I just do love them.
You won’t find much about the space online, but it does exist at the address we’ve provided.
And if it clears up any confusion, it did use to be a Chase bank. And I did do my banking in there, back when I first moved to the mission with Ife. Awww ●‿●

If you didn’t know, burritos as we know & love them today originated in the early 60’s in San Francisco’s Mission District, so this is actually a great opportunity for you to experience them. Perhaps you even become a little tipsy at our wedding and meander into one of the nearby mission burrito spots. I don’t understand how or why exactly, but every burrito that’s not from SF is not as good.
Taqueria El Buen Sabor - bron’s favorite SF burrito
Guadalajara - Zack’s favorite SF burrito
El Farolito - SF’s favorite SF burrito (the OG) (open very late!)
Leo’s Taco Truck - al pastor taco is beloved
La Taqueria - Zack’s favorite taco (long lines though :/ )
Underdogs tacos (any location) - tasty casual tacos, less busy than La Taq, if you get ur taco “nick’s way,” it is sure to be the most indulgent taco you will ever experience

Arcana <3
Pitt’s Pub
El Rio is a deeply beloved/sacred queer space with an unusually large patio
Bar Part Time
Buena Vista - this is the place that brought irish coffee to the states in 1953. Sooo yummy and very worth the crowds. Plus all the wharf-touristy fun to be had nearby. Side note, you can ask for the Irish coffee to-go and get a head start on your wharf stroll; it's 15 min to the smelly seal friends at Pier 39.
Comstock Saloon - cozy North Beach bar, feels super ancient, because it is
Vesuvio’s - iconic North Beach bar/beatnik literary hub from the 60s, right across from City Lights Books; this has been a longstanding flow for the past like 80 years
Bao Bao Lounge - tiniest and most anything goes karaoke spot in SF…I once was overserved here at Zack’s company holiday party, and performed Scars by Papa Roach thrice in one night. They really let anybody in there
Li Po Lounge - notorious, strong Mai Tais (which also originated in the Bay Area, shout out to Oakland)
Bars
posted 10 days ago with 415 notes via zachary&bronwyn
Green Apple Books (any location) - we love her. SF’s pride & joy bookstore, with lots of miscellaneous treasures
City Lights Bookstore - Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s North Beach beat lit haven, since 1953… I’d been pining to visit this place ever since I was a McSweeney’s-obsessed high schooler in Texas. After moving here, I was really relieved to discover this building still contains the same magic 💫
Amoeba Records - you know her you love her
Woot Bear - tiny Haight st shop, filled with tiny action figures and collectible toys pretty much entirely from Japan. She’s so cute
Tantrum - fun kids store
Rare Device - gift shop
Paxton Gate - taxidermy and oddities in the Mission
Shops

Fort Funston - dog-filled beach, super windy cliffs, there’s a swing somewhere
Lands End to Sutro Baths - classic cliffside stroll, but the baths are potentially haunted
Twin Peaks - car commercial mecca of the world with city views, watch out for all the skaters/hillbombers tho. Oh and don’t leave any stuff in your car there because you’ll get instantly bipped
Point Reyes - a little roadtrip will bring you to extreme coastal wilderness and beautiful seacliff hikes. Usually will spot a wild creature or two, always some smelly seals, and could see some whales in October if you’re lucky!!!

Buena Vista - this is the place that brought irish coffee to the states in 1953. Sooo yummy and very worth the crowds. Plus all the wharf-touristy fun to be had nearby. Side note, you can ask for the Irish coffee to-go and get a head start on your wharf stroll; it's 15 min to the smelly seal friends at Pier 39.
Comstock Saloon - cozy North Beach bar, feels super ancient, because it is
Vesuvio’s - iconic North Beach bar/beatnik literary hub from the 60s, right across from City Lights Books; this has been a longstanding flow for the past like 80 years
Bao Bao Lounge - tiniest and most anything goes karaoke spot in SF…I once was overserved here at Zack’s company holiday party, and performed Scars by Papa Roach thrice in one night. They really let anybody in there
Li Po Lounge - notorious, strong Mai Tais (which also originated in the Bay Area, shout out to Oakland)

Green Apple Books (any location) - we love her. SF’s pride & joy bookstore, with lots of miscellaneous treasures
City Lights Bookstore - Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s North Beach beat lit haven, since 1953… I’d been pining to visit this place ever since I was a McSweeney’s-obsessed high schooler in Texas. After moving here, I was really relieved to discover this building still contains the same magic 💫
Amoeba Records - you know her you love her
Woot Bear - tiny Haight st shop, filled with tiny action figures and collectible toys pretty much entirely from Japan. She’s so cute
Tantrum - fun kids store
Rare Device - gift shop
Paxton Gate - taxidermy and oddities in the Mission
Shops

Battery Spencer - best golden gate bridge photo op
Cable Car Museum
Legion of Honor Museum - magical Rodin displays are found here
Meander Haight Street’s zillion vintage and tibetan shops. GGP is nearby too
Golden Gate Park - Japanese Tea Garden, Strawberry Hill, Stow Lake, Hippie Hill, DeYoung Museum, Cal Academy of Sciences, Conservatory of Flowers!! I could go on forever
Visit the parrots at Telegraph Hill :)
Dolores Park - the Mission District’s grassy hub, the sun shines on the Mission District the most… picnics go harder here, so bring a blankie and speaker, will probably see fun park vendors selling weird stuff, you always see like 12 truly wild sights here too
Crissy Field is the most accessible beach, also the windiest. In the Marina, which can be cute if you like sailboats. Lots of parking; the lot is right in front of the beach
Baker Beach is Bron’s favorite (typically the sunniest) but if you walk too far East, you’re on a nude beach fyi. China Beach comes in close second, but the stairs for beach access can be a real B word
Ocean Beach is Zack’s favorite I think because it reminds him of surfing
Fort Funston - dog-filled beach, super windy cliffs, there’s a swing somewhere
Lands End to Sutro Baths - classic cliffside stroll, but the baths are potentially haunted
Twin Peaks - car commercial mecca of the world with city views, watch out for all the skaters/hillbombers tho. Oh and don’t leave any stuff in your car there because you’ll get instantly bipped
Point Reyes - a little roadtrip will bring you to extreme coastal wilderness and beautiful seacliff hikes. Usually will spot a wild creature or two, always some smelly seals, and could see some whales in October if you’re lucky!!!
Muir Woods - closest redwood spot🔌
Ferry Building Farmers Market- on Saturdays, so huge and right on the wharf. But our favorite farmer’s market is on Sundays, on 4th and Clement St

If you didn’t know, burritos as we know & love them today originated in the early 60’s in San Francisco’s Mission District, so this is actually a great opportunity for you to experience them. Perhaps you even become a little tipsy at our wedding and meander into one of the nearby mission burrito spots. I don’t understand how or why exactly, but every burrito that’s not from SF is not as good.
Taqueria El Buen Sabor - bron’s favorite SF burrito
Guadalajara - Zack’s favorite SF burrito
El Farolito - SF’s favorite SF burrito (the OG) (open very late!)
Leo’s Taco Truck - al pastor taco is beloved
La Taqueria - Zack’s favorite taco (long lines though :/ )
Underdogs tacos (any location) - tasty casual tacos, less busy than La Taq, if you get ur taco “nick’s way,” it is sure to be the most indulgent taco you will ever experience
The Little Chihuahua - honorable mention burrito, but only if you need a gluten free tortilla TBH but it’s really good

Closest airport (SFO)
SFO is a 20 min drive to the venue (~30 min on BART)
Oakland Airport (OAK)
OAK is a ~30 min drive (traffic dependent) (~50 minutes on BART)
BART station nearest to venue:
getting to sf
★
There is a BART station inside of the airport at SFO that will take you to the 24th st station in the Mission District, which is only a couple blocks away from our venue.
★
The 24th station in the Mission District has elevators and escalators for luggage/accessibility.
★
If you’re comfortable navigating it, you can get pretty much anywhere citywide using BART/public transit, and not having to find parking in SF is a real blessing.
posted 2 days ago with 415 notes via zachary&bronwyn
For the wedding, we recommend using a rideshare or public transit; street parking in this area is metered & extremely limited.
Nearest parking garage
Mission Bartlett Garage
3255 21st St, San Francisco, CA 94110
(check for current hourly rates)
Ticketing/parking app for drivers
I recommend downloading the app Ticketless+. It’s locally developed, completely free, no ads, privacy protected. It functions to disclose all publicly listed SF parking ticket hour restrictions, as well as tracking your real-time parking locations. It can also send notifications prior to street cleaning/ticketing times. I think the app is still in beta, so you can do your own research if you’re super serious about privacy.

We put together a short list of hotels within a reasonable distance from the venue.
I included approximate commute times to the venue and researched rough pricing estimates.
But definitely double check my work for your own trip!
Note on the neighborhoods
The districts within SF are as differentially defined as her microclimates (bring layers for real).
Seeking shelter in SF is a pricey endeavor; the Tenderloin area tends to have cheaper hotel options with more availability.
Only thing to know- it can be a hectic neighborhood. But it’s harmless and cool if you have street smarts/respect and know what to expect. It boasts lots of our coolest churches and restaurants and bars, so don’t be shy, be smart 😀
Also- Union Square and SoMa can be a little more bustling than other neighborhoods, if that’s any concern to you when choosing where to stay.

Accessibility
★
Everyone should consider the hills when planning walking routes. You can always check the topographical map when mapping routes.
★
Uber/Lyft both have WAV (wheelchair-accessible vehicle) request options in SF if anyone needs it.
★
Sidewalks should be accessible in the Mission District, but they can be uneven, crowded, and spotty... just a heads up for anyone planning their commute with a mobility device.
★
There is a curb cut near both the venue’s entry points, by the doors on both the North and East sides of the building’s corner

Kinda the golden rule for anyone out of town to keep in top of mind-
There is no neighborhood in SF where you should leave anything at all in your car visible through the windows.
Unless u wanna end up like the bip lebowski :(
Street smarts
Drivers pls be extra watchful!! Pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters, e-scooterers (sp?) have the right of way here, and will use it.
Don’t forget to bring layers! It gets seriously cold when the sun goes down. Light sweaters, puffers, wool, leather coats, they’re all probs potentially useful.

Since the venue itself is brand new, it’s not really established or searchable online. So that’s the reason our venue is coming off like it’s a speakeasy. It’s the new music/entertainment venue from Arcana, very cool and locally very beloved dj/event space/natural wine & plant purveyor in the mission district. I’m not flexing our venue I just do love them.
You won’t find much about the space online, but it does exist at the address we’ve provided.
And if it clears up any confusion, it did use to be a Chase bank. And I did do my banking in there, back when I first moved to the mission with Ife. Awww ●‿●

San Francisco’s Hometown Creamery - mango sticky rice ice cream 😲

Pitt’s Pub
El Rio is a deeply beloved/sacred queer space with an unusually large patio
Bar Part Time
Buena Vista - this is the place that brought irish coffee to the states in 1953. Sooo yummy and very worth the crowds. Plus all the wharf-touristy fun to be had nearby. Side note, you can ask for the Irish coffee to-go and get a head start on your wharf stroll; it's 15 min to the smelly seal friends at Pier 39.
Comstock Saloon - cozy North Beach bar, feels super ancient, because it is
Vesuvio’s - iconic North Beach bar/beatnik literary hub from the 60s, right across from City Lights Books; this has been a longstanding flow for the past like 80 years
Bao Bao Lounge - tiniest and most anything goes karaoke spot in SF…I once was overserved here at Zack’s company holiday party, and performed Scars by Papa Roach thrice in one night. They really let anybody in there
Li Po Lounge - notorious, strong Mai Tais (which also originated in the Bay Area, shout out to Oakland)
Bars
posted 10 days ago with 415 notes via zachary&bronwyn
Green Apple Books (any location) - we love her. SF’s pride & joy bookstore, with lots of miscellaneous treasures
City Lights Bookstore - Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s North Beach beat lit haven, since 1953… I’d been pining to visit this place ever since I was a McSweeney’s-obsessed high schooler in Texas. After moving here, I was really relieved to discover this building still contains the same magic 💫
Amoeba Records - you know her you love her
Woot Bear - tiny Haight st shop, filled with tiny action figures and collectible toys pretty much entirely from Japan. She’s so cute
Tantrum - fun kids store
Rare Device - gift shop
Paxton Gate - taxidermy and oddities in the Mission
Shops
posted 10 days ago with 415 notes via zachary&bronwyn
Battery Spencer - best golden gate bridge photo op
Cable Car Museum
Legion of Honor Museum - magical Rodin displays are found here
Meander Haight Street’s zillion vintage and tibetan shops. GGP is nearby too
Golden Gate Park - Japanese Tea Garden, Strawberry Hill, Stow Lake, Hippie Hill, DeYoung Museum, Cal Academy of Sciences, Conservatory of Flowers!! I could go on forever
Visit the parrots at Telegraph Hill :)
Dolores Park - the Mission District’s grassy hub, the sun shines on the Mission District the most… picnics go harder here, so bring a blankie and speaker, will probably see fun park vendors selling weird stuff, you always see like 12 truly wild sights here too
Crissy Field is the most accessible beach, also the windiest. In the Marina, which can be cute if you like sailboats. Lots of parking; the lot is right in front of the beach
Baker Beach is Bron’s favorite (typically the sunniest) but if you walk too far East, you’re on a nude beach fyi. China Beach comes in close second, but the stairs for beach access can be a real B word
Ocean Beach is Zack’s favorite I think because it reminds him of surfing
Fort Funston - dog-filled beach, super windy cliffs, there’s a swing somewhere
Lands End to Sutro Baths - classic cliffside stroll, but the baths are potentially haunted
Twin Peaks - car commercial mecca of the world with city views, watch out for all the skaters/hillbombers tho. Oh and don’t leave any stuff in your car there because you’ll get instantly bipped
Point Reyes - a little roadtrip will bring you to extreme coastal wilderness and beautiful seacliff hikes. Usually will spot a wild creature or two, always some smelly seals, and could see some whales in October if you’re lucky!!!
Muir Woods - closest redwood spot🔌
Ferry Building Farmers Market- on Saturdays, so huge and right on the wharf. But our favorite farmer’s market is on Sundays, on 4th and Clement St

Closest airport (SFO)
SFO is a 20 min drive to the venue (~30 min on BART)
Oakland Airport (OAK)
OAK is a ~30 min drive (traffic dependent) (~50 minutes on BART)
BART station nearest to venue:
getting to sf
★
There is a BART station inside of the airport at SFO that will take you to the 24th st station in the Mission District, which is only a couple blocks away from our venue.
★
The 24th station in the Mission District has elevators and escalators for luggage/accessibility.
★
If you’re comfortable navigating it, you can get pretty much anywhere citywide using BART/public transit, and not having to find parking in SF is a real blessing.
posted 2 days ago with 415 notes via zachary&bronwyn
For the wedding, we recommend using a rideshare or public transit; street parking in this area is metered & extremely limited.
Nearest parking garage
Mission Bartlett Garage
3255 21st St, San Francisco, CA 94110
(check for current hourly rates)
Ticketing/parking app for drivers
I recommend downloading the app Ticketless+. It’s locally developed, completely free, no ads, privacy protected. It functions to disclose all publicly listed SF parking ticket hour restrictions, as well as tracking your real-time parking locations. It can also send notifications prior to street cleaning/ticketing times. I think the app is still in beta, so you can do your own research if you’re super serious about privacy.

We put together a short list of hotels within a reasonable distance from the venue.
I included approximate commute times to the venue and researched rough pricing estimates.
But definitely double check my work for your own trip!
Note on the neighborhoods
The districts within SF are as differentially defined as her microclimates (bring layers for real).
Seeking shelter in SF is a pricey endeavor; the Tenderloin area tends to have cheaper hotel options with more availability.
Only thing to know- it can be a hectic neighborhood. But it’s harmless and cool if you have street smarts/respect and know what to expect. It boasts lots of our coolest churches and restaurants and bars, so don’t be shy, be smart 😀
Also- Union Square and SoMa can be a little more bustling than other neighborhoods, if that’s any concern to you when choosing where to stay.

Accessibility
★
Everyone should consider the hills when planning walking routes. You can always check the topographical map when mapping routes.
★
Uber/Lyft both have WAV (wheelchair-accessible vehicle) request options in SF if anyone needs it.
★
Sidewalks should be accessible in the Mission District, but they can be uneven, crowded, and spotty... just a heads up for anyone planning their commute with a mobility device.
★
There is a curb cut near both the venue’s entry points, by the doors on both the North and East sides of the building’s corner

Kinda the golden rule for anyone out of town to keep in top of mind-
There is no neighborhood in SF where you should leave anything at all in your car visible through the windows.
Unless u wanna end up like the bip lebowski :(
Street smarts
Drivers pls be extra watchful!! Pedestrians, bicyclists, skaters, e-scooterers (sp?) have the right of way here, and will use it.
Don’t forget to bring layers! It gets seriously cold when the sun goes down. Light sweaters, puffers, wool, leather coats, they’re all probs potentially useful.

Since the venue itself is brand new, it’s not really established or searchable online. So that’s the reason our venue is coming off like it’s a speakeasy. It’s the new music/entertainment venue from Arcana, very cool and locally very beloved dj/event space/natural wine & plant purveyor in the mission district. I’m not flexing our venue I just do love them.
You won’t find much about the space online, but it does exist at the address we’ve provided.
And if it clears up any confusion, it did use to be a Chase bank. And I did do my banking in there, back when I first moved to the mission with Ife. Awww ●‿●

If you didn’t know, burritos as we know & love them today originated in the early 60’s in San Francisco’s Mission District, so this is actually a great opportunity for you to experience them. Perhaps you even become a little tipsy at our wedding and meander into one of the nearby mission burrito spots. I don’t understand how or why exactly, but every burrito that’s not from SF is not as good.
Taqueria El Buen Sabor - bron’s favorite SF burrito
Guadalajara - Zack’s favorite SF burrito
El Farolito - SF’s favorite SF burrito (the OG) (open very late!)
Leo’s Taco Truck - al pastor taco is beloved
La Taqueria - Zack’s favorite taco (long lines though :/ )
Underdogs tacos (any location) - tasty casual tacos, less busy than La Taq, if you get ur taco “nick’s way,” it is sure to be the most indulgent taco you will ever experience
The Little Chihuahua - honorable mention burrito, but only if you need a gluten free tortilla TBH but it’s really good

Underdogs tacos (any location) - tasty casual tacos, less busy than La Taq, if you get ur taco “nick’s way,” it is sure to be the most indulgent taco you will ever experience
The Little Chihuahua - honorable mention burrito, but only if you need a gluten free tortilla TBH but it’s really good

Shanghai House is a close second (first to some) and not crowded
Flour and Water Pizzeria - extra special (best GF pizza in SF)
Square Pie Guys - detroit style pizza, the GF one is amazing
Golden Boy Pizza - North Beach pizza spot with a big line because she’s so delicious

Arsicault is known for yummy croissants & the longest lines ever. Soo flaky, your blouse will never be the same
Tartine - if you’re into fancy bread. Sourdough also originated from San Francisco gold rush :)
Boudin Bakery - more fancy bread
Mitchells Ice Cream
San Francisco’s Hometown Creamery - mango sticky rice ice cream 😲
Bob’s Donuts
Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory - another thing that San Francisco brought to America 🙂↕️ actually introduced at the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park

Arcana <3
Pitt’s Pub
El Rio is a deeply beloved/sacred queer space with an unusually large patio
Bar Part Time
Buena Vista - this is the place that brought irish coffee to the states in 1953. Sooo yummy and very worth the crowds. Plus all the wharf-touristy fun to be had nearby. Side note, you can ask for the Irish coffee to-go and get a head start on your wharf stroll; it's 15 min to the smelly seal friends at Pier 39.
Comstock Saloon - cozy North Beach bar, feels super ancient, because it is
Vesuvio’s - iconic North Beach bar/beatnik literary hub from the 60s, right across from City Lights Books; this has been a longstanding flow for the past like 80 years
Bao Bao Lounge - tiniest and most anything goes karaoke spot in SF…I once was overserved here at Zack’s company holiday party, and performed Scars by Papa Roach thrice in one night. They really let anybody in there
Li Po Lounge - notorious, strong Mai Tais (which also originated in the Bay Area, shout out to Oakland)
Bars

Green Apple Books (any location) - we love her. SF’s pride & joy bookstore, with lots of miscellaneous treasures
City Lights Bookstore - Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s North Beach beat lit haven, since 1953… I’d been pining to visit this place ever since I was a McSweeney’s-obsessed high schooler in Texas. After moving here, I was really relieved to discover this building still contains the same magic 💫
Amoeba Records - you know her you love her
Woot Bear - tiny Haight st shop, filled with tiny action figures and collectible toys pretty much entirely from Japan. She’s so cute
Tantrum - fun kids store
Rare Device - gift shop
Paxton Gate - taxidermy and oddities in the Mission
Shops

Battery Spencer - best golden gate bridge photo op
Cable Car Museum
Legion of Honor Museum - magical Rodin displays are found here
Meander Haight Street’s zillion vintage and tibetan shops. GGP is nearby too
Golden Gate Park - Japanese Tea Garden, Strawberry Hill, Stow Lake, Hippie Hill, DeYoung Museum, Cal Academy of Sciences, Conservatory of Flowers!! I could go on forever
Visit the parrots at Telegraph Hill :)
Dolores Park - the Mission District’s grassy hub, the sun shines on the Mission District the most… picnics go harder here, so bring a blankie and speaker, will probably see fun park vendors selling weird stuff, you always see like 12 truly wild sights here too
Crissy Field is the most accessible beach, also the windiest. In the Marina, which can be cute if you like sailboats. Lots of parking; the lot is right in front of the beach
Baker Beach is Bron’s favorite (typically the sunniest) but if you walk too far East, you’re on a nude beach fyi. China Beach comes in close second, but the stairs for beach access can be a real B word
Ocean Beach is Zack’s favorite I think because it reminds him of surfing
Fort Funston - dog-filled beach, super windy cliffs, there’s a swing somewhere
Lands End to Sutro Baths - classic cliffside stroll, but the baths are potentially haunted
Twin Peaks - car commercial mecca of the world with city views, watch out for all the skaters/hillbombers tho. Oh and don’t leave any stuff in your car there because you’ll get instantly bipped
Point Reyes - a little roadtrip will bring you to extreme coastal wilderness and beautiful seacliff hikes. Usually will spot a wild creature or two, always some smelly seals, and could see some whales in October if you’re lucky!!!
Muir Woods - closest redwood spot🔌
Ferry Building Farmers Market- on Saturdays, so huge and right on the wharf. But our favorite farmer’s market is on Sundays, on 4th and Clement St
