Itinerary
Descend the masonry of the Greenwich Street steps to Levi Plaza, the headquarters of blue jeans, and visit Green Street Laboratory, where Philo Farnsworth sent the first television transmission. Can you guess what was the first image on TV?
Following the breeze of the Old Waterfront, we’ll head to the coast. I’ll share pictures of the 'old days', when three-mast ships bustled along Yerba Buena Cove during San Francisco’s construction. Today, the Embarcadero waterfront hosts attractions like the Ferry Building––Our starting and ending point for this four-mile urban hike. We will be sure to take some time to shop and eat at the delicious Ferry Building Marketplace.
