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. ;)

It’s lunch time in SF if you can hear the sound of rolling stainless steel carts carrying delicious steamed baskets nearby. Yank Sing is a great SF establishment that keeps the city’s reputation for good Cantonese food. For dim sum, Yank Sing is definitely on the pricier side compared to locales in Chinatown and the outer neighborhoods, but the food is still authentic and the location is optimal for both downtown workers and tourists. You can find traditional items on the menu such as Pork Shrimp Siu Mai and Xiao Long Bao (juicy soup dumplings), as well vegetarian and “Westernized” options for those at your table who are not as adventurous. If you’ve never had a soup dumpling, we recommend placing it on a spoon and using your chopstick to pierce open the skin so the hot soup doesn’t squirt everywhere (like your eyes!), and eat with a little sliver of ginger and vinegar.
