If you drive to The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco, you can park valet. So long as you're part of the event, your parking will be covered!
We would recommend Airbnbs in neighborhoods in the city to get to know the area better. Some nice neighborhoods include Potrero Hill, NoPa, Bernal Heights, Presidio/Marina, Noe Valley, Russian Hill, to name a few. If Airbnbs are inaccessible or not preferred, most hotels are located in Union Square/Financial District. We'd recommend staying in the Financial District area and avoiding Civic Center and Union Square as much as possible.
Arsicault Bakery for the best croissants, Coffee Movement for the best cup of morning coffee, Nute's for the best noodles (specifically Thai noodle soups), Black Jet Bakery for the most airy morning bun, Bon Nene for a warm bowl of mentaiko spaghetti, and more. Message us directly and we'll send you some more recommendations based on what you're looking for. Text me (Joanna!) directly at 267-319-3136.
We expect guests to trickle in. We intentionally have a longer cocktail hour so we can really chat and catch up with folks, hear how you're doing, and meander. If you can't make it at 4PM sharp, that's okay. Try to come before 4:30PM though!
We (as in Joanna) might go dancing at night with some friends after. You're welcome to join!
