San Francisco, like any great metropolis, has a million different faces, all vaguely understandable as the ‘essence’ of the city. The leitmotifs of the city may give one an idea of it: Victorian houses, bridges, water, and fog; and yet the city is constantly defying those categorizations. This being said, there is no shortage of amazing food, fashion, local markets, and great bars to give one a taste of what living in San Francisco might be like.
