Ferry Building and Plaza in San Francisco, California
San Francisco’s Ferry Building originally opened in 1898 as a ferry station. Now it’s home to dozens of merchants selling small-batch food items and an outdoor farmers' market on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Sample cheeses from Cowgirl Creamery, pear ginger scones from Biscuit Bender, dark chocolate from Dandelion Chocolate and brown sugar fennel ice cream from Humphry Slocombe. And since you’re in California, you know the produce is some of the best in the country; expect to see some of your favorite local chefs there on Saturday mornings.
