3rd St., south of Market. Some outlets have great deals Worth seeing is
the Espirit Outlet. (499 Illinois St. 415-957-2550). Push a shopping
cart around as you try on trendy clothes for the young or
young-at-heart. But not all outlets in this area are phenomenal
bargains. As always, shop around. You may do better buying at home. But,

that's perfect for you.

Ghirardelli Square |
A miscellany of brick structures in a touristy part of SF along
the Fisherman's Wharf route. Formerly a factory area, its buildings have
names such as Mustard Building, Power House, Woolen Mill, and Cocoa

But most everyone comes here to have a sundae at the old fashioned ice
cream parlor. Share an "Earthquake" with friends or get a "Cable Car"
for yourself.
