Crocker Galleria Farmer's Market
The new brain break: grabbing some of the Bay Area’s freshest fare in the open air.
The first thing you’ll notice about this space is the “tree bushes” and flowers. It’s like the Lorax of rooftop gardens. There are different kinds of seating throughout: cushioned, movable patio furniture and benches. In the very center is a colorful pencil sculpture called the Four Seasons Obelis, designed by Joan Brown with butterflies, colors, and scenic tiling.
This place fills with sun during the afternoon, and because it is a little further away from surrounding buildings, you’ll find great views of the Transamerica building, the Bay Bridge, and the ocean. The vibes here are so relaxed, you might even find a few people dozing off (likely playing hooky and shirking responsibilities of the day for a few ZzZzz’s - who can blame them?).
