At Biordi Art Imports, they travel the world, so you don't have to! You will, however, reap the benefits of their globetrotting when you enter their incredible import shop. The truly amazing inventory includes such treasures as fine Italian majolica, among many other exotic items. Biordi has been consistently delivering the most sought-after items since it opened its doors in 1946, and that tradition of excellence continues to this day.

People who love books love Litquake, the yearly literary festival held every fall in San Francisco. Renowned authors are on hand for lectures and book signings, and interesting panels, workshops and parties are also part of what makes Litquake such an essential event for both readers and writers of all backgrounds. One of the highlights of this event is the three-hour Lit-Crawl through the Mission District that features stops at galleries, bookstores, bars and cafes.

For a look back that stretches all the way to the nation's colonial period, check out the awe-inspiring exhibits at the de Young Museum. This venue was first opened in 1895 and holds the distinction of being the city's oldest, most diversified museum. Even though it was remodeled in 2005 and several of its exhibits were updated, it still stands as one of the world's most fascinating collections of African, Oceanic, and pan-American art. This is highly worth checking out!
