FiDi

When you hear someone say, “I work in San Francisco,” chances are high that (s)he works in the downtown Financial District, colloquially known as the FiDi by the locals. The FiDi has a unique place in San Francisco’s history, going all the way back to the California Gold Rush days. Following the main drag of Market Street, you will see everything from cable cars, Art Deco architecture, boutique alleyways, etc., all leading up to the Ferry Building at the Embarcadero. Here you can still find family owned businesses that are over 100 years old (hello, Levi Strauss) amongst the ever growing startups popping up over the city. Don’t just pass this area off as a corporate, tech-y zone – the FiDi is filled with hidden gems. Stick with us, kid, and we’ll show you the ropes and where to look. ;)

Away from the commuter foot traffic, Per Diem is the place to meet for a casual business lunch or “after work drinks” with friends. The interior is “Gold Rush era” inspired with a nautical touch in the decor. Open for lunch and dinner, Per Diem has a great selection of both small plates and entrées, specifically a hearty charcuterie board and lobster fries. Their cocktail drinks are Per Diem’s strongest offering, featuring a menu that focuses heavily on whisky/whiskey varieties as seen in their Manhattan Project cocktail where you can concoct your personal version of the classic. Though the menu changes seasonal, beverage director, Bree Bojorquez recommends her favorite, Cal Salida (mezcal mixed with citrus) and current special, Rosé Fare (floral infused sparkling mixer). Our tip? Skip out of your last meeting early to hold a table for Happy Hour (4-6p) - the first floor is first come, first serve only.
