What to do and see in Union Square, California (CA): The Best Things to do

July 21, 2021 Chanda Heide

Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

The 4 of us took in the show last night and it was a great evening set in a beautiful little Theater. 3 adults and one Teen enjoyed the atmosphere, the show with great cast and the staff that supported the evening. We booked our tickets last minute and we’re still able to get in even with it being a full house. I would recommend to book as early as you can and don’t miss a chance to enjoy this beautiful little theater!

We enjoyed looking at the Joel Amit pieces - amazing selection at this gallery. The gallery owner, Effi, was a pleasure to work with - very professional and not pushy. Though we didn’t buy anything this time, we’ll be back!!

Union Square

A shopper's paradise, this bustling square near the theater district has everything from upscale department stores and boutiques to discount houses. After a $25-million facelift in 2002, the cosmopolitan hub boasts a huge amphitheater, granite pedestals on which street entertainers perform and a tree and flower-lined environment in which to enjoy an espresso or an elegant meal.

Union Square is a great place to be at Christmas time (and Christmas time start early in America, as early as late October ....). There is a very large decorated Christmas tree, and of course the famous ice skating rink. Also all the upscale business surrounding the square such as Macys do their utmost to join the festive season. A major attraction for tourist and locals alike.

This award-winning stage is known for its innovative productions.

Reviewed By 34JohnD34 - Los Gatos, United States

With its great location to Union Square it is a must for us to see a show. We had great seats to see A Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve afternoon. It was a wonderful uplifting performance that we really enjoyed. This is a wonderful historic theater / playhouse that is the perfect size to draw you into the performance and have you totally connected to the performers. A wonderful piece of San Francisco history.
