• Taste the Palace’s Signature Crab Salad with Green Goddess Dressing. The Green Goddess Dressing was created at the Palace Hotel in 1923 by Executive Chef Phillip Roemer, who created the dressing for a banquet honoring George Arliss, the lead actor in William Archer’s play “The Green Goddess.” For decades, the dressing has complemented the famous Palace Signature Crab Salad offered in The Garden Court.

• Walk just four blocks from the Palace Hotel to Bush Street and enter Chinatown. The smell of garlic, ginger, and toasted almonds fills the air and foreshadows the authentic Chinese restaurants.

• Enjoy a signature San Francisco food destination, the Ferry Building Marketplace, which features amazing culinary shops, top restaurants, artisan vendors, and an unrivaled farmers market. Admire the historic clock tower that anchors the Ferry Building Marketplace along the waterfront, located at the foot of Market Street. The abundance of sun-ripened fruits and vegetables, handcrafted cheeses, small-batch baked goods, California wines, specialty meats, and freshly caught seafood is a delight for food lovers.
