San Francisco: A City and A Lifestyle

San Francisco: A City and A Lifestyle

San Francisco is known around the world for its various landmarks and attractions. Many people associate San Francisco with Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and the charmingly crooked Lombard Street. However, this city has much more to offer than tourist attractions. People love San Francisco for its period architecture, its bridges, the rolling hills and sunsets, and its overall character and charm. San Francisco is one of the most diverse cities in the world, welcoming people from all cultures and lifestyles. To live in downtown San Francisco means to be a part of a very special, very unique metropolitan experience.

Rated by Travel and Leisure Magazine as one of the country's best cities for "foodies", dining out in San Francisco is an unforgettable experience during every meal of the day. One of the most spectacular dining experiences in San Francisco is Michael Mina's restaurant RN74, located at the base of the city's Millennium Tower building.

The Millennium Tower is known for its luxe condominiums and for its most famous resident – Joe Montana. Condos in the building are valued in the millions, and the residents enjoy "La Vie," which means "the life," but is also the name of monthly community gatherings in the building. There is not a better home for Michael Mina's restaurant than the beautiful, shining tower. Patrons are treated to a unique, European setting when they enter the restaurant and the experience as a memorable as the food.

Everything about San Francisco is unique, from its architecture to the residents themselves, and even the transportation. Many people associate buses and fleets of cabs with city traffic and transpiration. Leave it San Francisco to add an extra bit of character, history and charm into the mix. Only in SF will you find the famous cable car system, the city's official "moving landmark."

Currently, the famous Transbay Terminal is under construction. Renovations from the ground up will make the historic terminal more "rider friendly" for those who take the bus or the commuter train to work. This update to one of the cities public transportation hubs will help to better connect the residents of the city with one another, making it even more livable than it is today.
