This year from July 7-18 “Flower Piano” took over the San Francisco Botanical Garden. Twelve pianos nestled throughout the 55 acres invite visitors to play on them and on weekend days professional musicians are scheduled to perform. It’s pretty magical to walk around and listen to impromptu performances by random folks who were just walking […]

Green String Farm ( Sundays In My City)
The first Saturday of every month at noon, you can take a tour of the 140 acre Green String Farm in Petaluma, CA. This farm is pretty special. It supplies produce to Alice Waters’ renowned Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California and other impressive eateries while at the same time having a farm store that is […]
Tiburon (Sundays In My City)
It was a typical summer day in San Francisco, which means it was pretty much freezing. We piled into the car and made our way to Tiburon, which is less than 20 miles from San Francisco and makes for a great day trip with the kids. The sun was out and we could see our […]
Three Dancing Figures by Keith Haring and Two Great Videos About the Artist (Sundays In My City)
On a recent walk home from the San Francisco Botanical Gardens, I walked past the DeYoung Museum and saw this colorful piece of art on the lawn. I didn’t have to get close enough to read the signage to know that it was made by Keith Haring. I may not be an art aficionado or […]
San Francisco Botanical Garden (Sundays In My City)
The San Francisco Botanical Garden encompasses 55 acres within Golden Gate Park. It is an incredible place to walk around and enjoy nature. San Francisco’s temperate climate and fog create an environment that makes it possible to “grow and conserve plants from all over the globe, including plants that are no longer found in their […]
Do Not Pick up Chicks in Half Moon Bay (Sundays in My City)
The fams and I went to Half Moon Bay for the day. Half Moon Bay is around 40 minutes away from San Francisco. One of the places we always stop by when we go to Half Moon Bay is Half Moon Bay Feed and Fuel. This time around we walked to the back of the […]
Stinson Beach (Sundays In My City)
We were sure it was going to be a sunny day and made plans to drive from San Francisco to Stinson Beach which is about 55 minutes away, but Bay Area weather is famously unpredictable and it was overcast and a tad chilly at the beach. It’s a good thing we know how to have […]
Public Library Time (Sundays In My City)
Summer break has officially started for my girls, which means summertime visits to the public library are on! My children don’t go to camp in the summer, they stay home with me and I don’t know what I would do without the great public libraries in San Francisco. They’ve got books, videos and activities all […]
Duboce Park Dog on Leash Signs by fnnch (Sundays In My City)
On a recent walk through Duboce Park, we noticed that the “dog on leash” signs had been delightfully updated. This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen the signs whimsically transformed and I’ve shared pictures of formerly transformed on-leash signs before, but I had to share these recent redos because they are pretty freakin’ fun […]
The Ice Cream Bar (Sundays In My City)
The Ice Cream Bar in San Francisco is pretty much the only bar that our entire family can enjoy. There are so many good things to enjoy there. You can of course get ice cream, but they also have food, beer, wine and “Remedies” for the 21 and over crowd because they have alcohol in […]
