GrassRoutes travel guides cover a variety of local scenes at their best: from getting around sans car to getting creatively inspired, from the hottest music venues to the quietest places to open a book. GrassRoutes San Francisco offers a wealth of ways for small-footprint visitors to deepen their experience of one of America's most exciting cities. Written by locals immersed in the eco/indie/alt scene, the book covers everything from carpooling and volunteering, to potluck dinners and fair trade cafes, to attending community events and buying CDs from local musicians. Categories include Up Early, Hang Out, Pamper, Listen, Get Inspired, Stay Up Late, and many more. Black-and-white illustrations show the city highlights, while clear maps help visitors get around easily on foot, bike, and public transportation.
