> Due to the drop-in center's proximity to the Moscone, parking

> Connections between BART and CalTrain have recently been
> established at the Millbrae BART/CalTrain station, extending
> the reach of public transit as far south as San Jose and as far

> than driving, but they allow working use of most of the time
> spent and are quite comfortable. BART now also runs directly
> from the International Terminal at San Francisco Airport (SFO).

> DEFAULT UBL FANCY RESTAURANT

> DEFAULT UBL BUDGET RESTAURANT
>
> Chevy's Mexican Restaurant, 3rd Street at Howard (across the

> The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, located about a block

> collection of works by Diane Arbus ever assembled and the first
> serious retrospective in 25 years. Arbus (1923-1971), sister

> influential photographer of the disturbingly mundane with a
> special ability to collaborate actively with her subjects and a
> real affection for (as the MOMA site puts it) "subcultures,
> codes, and rituals." She brought to bear on her subjects a
> sophisticated technical approach derived from a career in
> fashion photography, giving her photos a distinctive look, at
> the same time glossy and brooding, that combines with the
> subject matter to lend the images tremendous impact. Opinions
