From Port: 0.8
mile walk, about 15 minutes W on The Embarcadero, slight
left on Beach St.
Must Try: Irish
Coffee.
Review: The B.V.
Café is the place where arguably
the Irish Coffee was invented. Others, myself
among them, think the bar at the Shannon Airport is the
more likely locale. In either case, there is no argument
that this is the spot which has popularized the
cold-weather libation.
This San Francisco
landmark serves an excellent brunch at large tables
intended to be shared and at which you'll meet local and
not a few tourists. $$
The Powell Street
cable car departs just across the street to "climb
halfway to the stars" to Union Square. |
