People congregate here on sunny days to enjoy the amazing views of SF. There's nothing quite like it anywhere else. There's also a recently renovated playground that appeals to kids young & old. Birite Creamery and Birite grocery store are across the street on 18th St. Namu Gaji also sells Korean street food across the street. It's really tasty.

Tabletop & home goods. Ceramics & most items made right here in the Bay Area (and many of them right here at this facility). Tartine Manufactory in the same building is a newly opened chic, space with a bakery, Californian cafe, coffee counter, ice cream window & wine bar. Also in the building: a Blue Bottle cafe here, an art gallery + more. Note: If you go to the Ferry Building, there's a smaller Heath Ceramics kiosk there where you can view some of their goods.
