Gump's San Francisco takes pride in celebrating the truly eclectic! Founded in 1861 by Solomon Gump, this shopping gallery offers one-of-a-kind items from all around the world that include such highly-sought after items as crystal, china, silver, jewelry, home and office furnishings, and bed and bath items, just to name a few. Gump's specializes in not only the eclectic, but also the exotic and unusual while never losing sight of its high standard of quality in every item that you'll find in their store.

Chinatown is literally a city within a city. And Chinatown isn't merely a tourist trap, run-of-the-mill attraction, but a genuine celebration of Chinese culture. Sure, there are signs of the exotic as evidenced by the several wares for sale like spices, silks and jade; but events like the Chinese New Year celebration dramatically demonstrate the pride and tradition that is still very much alive at the Grand Avenue and Bush Street entrance and beyond.

The San Francisco 49ers are part of the National Football League (NFL) and have the distinction of being the city's longest-tenured professional sports franchise. The team first hit the gridiron in 1946. They moved into Candlestick Park as their home stadium in 1971 and won five Superbowl titles in the 1980s and 1990s. The team has also produced its share of star players that include Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Jerry Rice.
