A day in the Park

Author: kris, Category: Landmarks, Museums, Nature

Today is one of those perfect days when all the city’s microclimates agree with one another and it is sunny everywhere. My dad and I had lunch at the cafe attached to the De Young Museum, which has a nice outdoor patio facing a small lawn dotted with sculptures and toddlers running circles around their parents. (Lest you get a screeching, Disneyland vibe from it, let me clarify that there were only a few kids, all adorable and none screaming, and the general vibe is very calm.) The food is way better than what you’d find at an average museum cafeteria, and you can buy beer, wine and champagne along with standard sodas and hot drinks.

Afterwards, stroll across the street and wander through the Botanical Gardens, which are full of Zen-ish little nooks and crannies decorated with benches and brooks.
