    I've been here while they were holding Tom Sachs, Space Program: Europa. It was very worth while & everyone was very friendly. The invigilator gave me a personal tour and kindly answered all my qus.

    Arts + Innovation + Social Change. YBCA's got it right: contemporary art is not about consumption or bling but about being provoked to rethink assumptions from aesthetic experience. Amazing.

    The center doesn’t have its own café, but adjacent to Yerba Buena Gardens are the B Restaurant & Bar and Samovar Tea Lounge – two rooftop spots that are perfect on a sunny day.

  • Contemporary Jewish Museum
    We are right across the street from each other, and we both have foursquare admission deals. Double up to really impress a date with an art day. Add SFMOMA for the Museum Iron Man.

    I love this place but did not appreciate how they demanded we leave the open grass space at 11:30pm. I left my phone due to being rushed and was not able to retrieve it
