An excellent day trip for East and North Bay residents to make is to the Embarcadero Cinemas, just a stones throw away from the Ferry Building in San Francisco’s Embarcadero Center.
This handsome, first-rate theater shows intelligent, first-fun movies. Lack of late-night ferry service means matinees-only for most folks, but with the late-night Larkspur runs some evening shows may be possible.

If you think using the ferry to go to the ballgame makes sense you’ll really want to take the ferry to this event. Last year Over 400 of the world’s best alternative sporting event athletes compete for prize money and medals in nine events in what became a national phenomena, attended by millions and watched by gazillions.

There may be a better place for jazz in the Bay Area but we don’t know about it; the setting at Yoshi’s is as sublime as the music offered by consistently top-drawer headliners. Yoshi’s doesn’t do much to publicize its 2:00 PM Sunday afternoon shows because they already draw so well, so be sure to get your tickets in advance. But once you’ve got the ducats lined you can look forward to a beautiful day sail across the bay followed by some of the most gorgeous music on the planet.
