The shadow is my friend on a scorching 95-degree day. So are museums. Ms. B and I went to the Contemporary Jewish Museum. It is not a particularly big museum (nor are the current exhibitions impressive), but with its brightly painted walls, visible steel frames, and exposed red bricks, it provides a refreshing and cool interior. The museum cafe is to your right as you enter and you don't need to pay admission to sit and eat there. After a cup of capuccino at the cafe, we walked down Mission to the Ferry Building, which has become one of our favorite hang-out spots since it opened a few years back. We have particularly taken to the French rotisserie opposite from the Slanted Door and enjoying eating outside.
Sur La Table, the home and kitchenware store at the FB, provides a feast to the eyes and leads you to fantasies of owning your own house and buying everything you like for it. But the melon slicer (and other similar "inventions") is really a testament to laziness than creativity.
