Take a seat under the Golden Gate Bridge, gazing at the Marin headlands with a sourdough bread-bowl of cioppino and a bottle of wine--and feel like you've just inherited the earth. Or, explore all of San Francisco's exciting spots, from the mansions of Pacific Heights to the taqueria-dotted flatlands of the Mission and experience what it is to be rich in options.

California's famously chic cuisine was born in this foodie city. Try the Fifth Floor's "lobster cappuccino," and be sure to stop at Zuni Cafe for their trademark brick oven-roasted chicken and vast selection of local oysters. Sample the region's artisan breads, wines, and produce at the new Ferry Building Plaza, where the regional fave, Cowgirl Creamery sells its delectable cheeses, and an outstanding farmers' market sets up on Saturdays.

Fillmore Street's tony boutiques offer plenty of ways to break in your credit card, or head to the more fiscally friendly Palace of the Legion of Honor--perched majestically above the ocean. As if the views aren't enough, this museum boasts the original cast of Rodin's The Thinker, and 20 galleries of ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and European art.
