de Young Museum San Francisco

Not only does this stunner of a building in Golden Gate Park host some of the more exciting exhibits to come through town, but its observation tower, with a 360-degree view of the city, is reason enough to visit.

Polished Lounge San Francisco

This serene SoMa nail salon is far from your neighborhood chop shop. Expert technicians take their time getting you primed and polished (read: no skimpy massage or just-used tools) while you relax in a comfy, overstuffed armchair. At $40, the classic mani-pedi is a steal.
