This city deserves an Off the Beaten Path guide all its own. Through these pages you will be led to funky shops and eateries, truly unique museums and galleries, and obscure theater and music venues. Soon you'll be munching focaccia bread from a specialty bakery in business since 1911, hanging out at the bar where Kerouac was a regular, and looking beyond Alcatraz to Angel Island--an entry point for tens of thousands of Asian immigrants and now a great place to bike and hike.
