JOHN SHAVE OF BERWYN, IRELAND RELEASES VISITS FIRST OF 36 STATES IN AMERICA ITINERARY FOR SECOND DESTINATION
BERWYN, IRELAND, April 7, 2008 – On Monday, April 07, 2008 John Shave released his itinerary for days one through three of his second US destination, of 36, San Francisco, CA. Shave is excited to meet with long lost family and friends during his seven days in SF. He is staying at the Mandarin Oriental and will host a reception for friends and family on Thursday, April 10, 2008 beginning promptly at 6:00 PM.
Day 1: Chinatown, North Beach I will start off the day with an espresso and pastry at an outdoor café in North Beach. Wander this charming quarter of tempting delis, bakeries, and pasta houses, and hit City Lights Bookstore for a glimpse of the city's Beat-era legacy. Take in sweeping views of the bay at Coit Tower, then head to labyrinthine Chinatown for dim sum, and peer into mysterious herb apothecaries, live-seafood stores, and sweet-smelling tea shops. Hit the stores near the Chinatown Gate for good values on souvenirs, and then head back to North Beach for pasta, followed by a drink at celebrity favorite Tosca.
Day 2: Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39 With my prereserved ticket in hand, I will set out for a tour of the Rock. When the ferry docks back at the wharf, take a step back in time to early-20th-century San Francisco at delightful Musée Mécanique. Just east of Fisherman's Wharf, you can find some great souvenirs among the schlocky and overpriced stores and restaurants at Pier 39. If you absolutely must dine on the water, the restaurants here have spectacular views and less-spectacular food. Otherwise hop the Hyde Street or Mason Street cable-car line for better dining in Russian Hill and North Beach, respectively.
Day 3: Soma, Union Square I will beat the crowds in the morning at SFMOMA; then take a break across the street in the expansive Yerba Buena Gardens. Head up 4th Street and join stylish locals browsing in the tony stores around Union Square. This area isn't known for great restaurants, so when you get peckish, head to Belden Place. This bistro-lined alley is one of the few places around Union Square where locals dine. To top off the evening, gaze down on the city lights from one of the square's sky-view lounges.
