SF Ferry Building

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

The San Francisco Ferry Building is a people’s marketplace rivaling the world’s leading urban markets: Harrods in London, Peck in Milan, and Pike Place in Seattle. The waterfront landmark that for a century served as San Francisco’s portal has reemerged as the liveliest of public places, with a market serving residents and travelers alike. Shops large and small celebrate food in all its forms, offering everything from artisan cheeses to the freshest local fish. Restaurants and cafés anchor the building’s corners, and the magic of the marketplace flourishes along the 660-foot-long central Nave -- an animated indoor street market built for a city that embraces food.
