Beating the Crowds in SF

Tourist season is starting and I had to beat the crowds for some of the most beautiful sights in my beloved city including Little Italy and the infamous Lombard Street. Goodness, there were already quite a handful of them (I went in beginning of May) and more surprising were the amount of rude tourists (someone scorned at me for getting in front of them to take a picture, after they were taking a million of them already anyway) and in the middle of the street with their selfies. No wonder the residents around that area are not too happy. But nevertheless, it makes you proud when you see the beautiful views of the city. 



A hidden spot for great views is the San Francisco Art Institute. It's open campus and it's a fairly small school so you can make your way into the courtyard and go up on the second floor where you can see the entire bay including the two bridges, Alcatraz, and Coit Tower. You can also grab some coffee and snacks at the cafeteria.

There's also students exhibits which are quite interesting
