For those coming out of town, consider a trip to the happy couple's favorite National Park! Gloria and bridesmaid Erinna ran a half marathon here while Cort and Erinna's boyfriend napped in the car at the finish line.
Cort and Gloria spent 3 months in Santa Cruz while working remotely. In addition to the boardwalk, make sure to check out Verve Coffee and Marianne's Ice Cream - Cort's fave is Mexican Chocolate and Gloria's fave is Northern Oregon Blackberry :)
Where we ate dim sum every Sunday when Cort and best man Isaac lived together in SF. The *best* Baked BBQ Pork Buns.
Local, hipster eats that are tasty and #instagramworthy but over-priced. A poppin' farmer's market on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Wheatgrass shot, anyone?
Located in the Ferry Building. Gloria and maid of honor Karen love the oysters here! Pro tip: sit at the bar and skip the whole line.
Afterwards, head west for a stroll around the Presidio (towards the Golden Gate Bridge), or east to the Marina (Fisherman's Wharf, Ghiradelli Square, etc.).
A very cool and casual German restaurant with the best wursts and beer. Our favorite food place to hang out with friends!
Google listed itself as a "Top Thing To Do" in the area :P Just a few miles away from the hotel - check out where we first met!
Cort's favorite boba chain! This is the location closest to the venue, but there are many more in the area to choose from.
Our go-to burrito place! Hailed as "the best burrito ever" by multiple bridesmaids. Try the Baja California with chicken.
A great hiking spot in Gloria's hometown! It's also a concert venue and fancy estate, with a huge lawn that's perfect for a cute picnic.
