City Walks SF #2: SFMOMA and Yerba Buena
What a great walk! Although Matt works in South of Market, and I have been in the area many times for various reasons, I had no idea many of the things on this card existed. We didn't go in any of the museums because it was such a gorgeous day, and the MOMA has free and half-price days that would be better-suited to our less than art-savvy selves.

However, at Yerba Buena Gardens we found a great MLK memorial:
A beautiful grassy esplanade:
Also an awesome playground for kids, an ice rink, bowling alley, movie theater, and an arcade with more skill cranes than you have ever seen. Possibly approaching 100. (Okay, maybe only 50). Oh also, we found a Chronicle Books store, publisher of this series, and their offerings were fabulous. Everyone should expect gifts from here in the future. And there was a children's tech museum we didn't go in, Zeum, but their gift shop was full of fantabulous toys as well.
I had heard bad things about living in SOMA (South of Market), but this area seems like it wouldn't be bad. Also recommended.
