Fifth Gem: Washington Square
When I first moved to San Francisco I did not realize the importance of roof top accessibility from your apartment. It’s a luxury to have roof access (I will add that my new place has an outside patio…woot, woot, very excited for summer bbq’s)! So, if you do not have a roof top and want to lay out in the summer your options are very limited. I’m pretty pale and actually burn more than I tan, BUT Washington Square is the best place to sunbathe, bring your dog to play and picnic with friends on a warm day!! It’s also a great place to people watch. 😉
