WHAT TO SEE & DO A combination of high tech (offices for Twitter, Spotify and Square are here), arts groups, retail and restaurants, Central Market is booming. Also known as Mid-Market, this area comprises a roughly seven-block section of Market St. • Major Broadway productions are featured on the stages of the Golden Gate and Orpheum theaters. Directly across from UN Plaza is the American Conservatory Theater’s dynamic and intimate Strand Theater. • Just a block away, the International Art Museum of America houses an eclectic collection of both classic and modern art. The Warfield hosts a number of Live Nation concerts and performances. • At the intersection of Eighth and Market streets, look for the 92-foot “Venus,” San Francisco’s tallest statue. • On the north edge, the Tenderloin is home to Glide Memorial Church, experimental theater companies, and jazz and blues clubs. Visit the Tenderloin Museum to learn about the area’s many historical events and movements. • Tuck into the Pineapple Bistro and Bar at The Alise hotel for a quick bite and pre-show drink.
