Once the home of the City’s dairy farms, Cow Hollow is now the cusp of SF's trendy, upscale culture. We’ll visit legendary rock & roll venue, The Matrix Club, where Santana, the Doors, and Jefferson Airplane recorded some of their most legendary sets. I’ll share some stories from the 60s & 70s when this psychedelic chateau was in its prime. Down the road, beauty boutiques, top-class cafés, and artisan storefronts give the Victorian scenery of Union Street a new vibe. We’ll visit landmarks like the funky eight-sided Octagon House before ascending to the posh Pacific Heights district. Enjoy the fresh air and views at Lyon Steps before descending through spiraling gardens and sharp hedges to the Presidio. Here, we will learn about war history, and Star Wars history near the Lucasfilm Campus. Our last stop is the lagoon at the Palace of Fine Arts, where Greco-Roman columns and rotundas are twice as nice in the reflective pond before we circle back to our starting point on Chestnut street.
