Street Art Tour: a Walk through The Mission
Street Art Tour: a Walk through The Mission
Feeling spontaneous? You never know what fun surprises are in store as you walk through San Francisco’s least visited and most spirited neighborhood: The Mission. Founded in 1776, this vibrant artistic neighborhood blends Latino culture and food with hip new restaurants, shops and galleries. See its namesake “Mission Dolores”, the oldest intact building in San Francisco, where you can visit a rose garden and find the resting spots for famous city leaders. The mission anchors famous Dolores Park. The park has panoramic City skyline views, and wide green lawns. Browse the Missions’ ever-changing street art, pop into galleries and take more photographs in front of famous Murals. A don’t miss: The Woman’s Mural in Balmy Alley. Your tour guide will tell you about the history of the neighborhood, how murals are assigned a spot, and about the current effort to keep this authentic neighborhood alive. After all this action, you will surely be famished. Experience the taste of an authentic taco or famous Mission-style burrito–that is if you can choose one of the three varieties. If it’s open, visit Precita Eyes, the Mural Arts and Visitor Center. Craving a sweet treat? Learn how the neighborhood’s famous donuts are created and taste some of the world’s most unique flavored donuts—Maple Glazed Apple Bacon? Zucchini Oat? Blueberry dipped? (Flavors vary depending on the shop.) Tour ends in the Valencia St. neighborhood at Dandelion Chocolate, a small “bean to bar” chocolate factory.
