ENTERTAINMENT
San Francisco has more cultural attractions per capita than any other American city. The arts and cultural community is home to vibrant alternative theater, dance, visual arts, cabaret and music as well as an opera, symphony and ballet of preeminent stature. Don't leave North Beach without watching Steve Silver's Beach Blanket Babylon, a cabaret-style performance that mixes music, comedy and unique costuming for a one-of-a-kind show. The Golden Gate and Orpheum theaters continually boast the best of Broadway, and Cobb's Comedy Club and the Punchline will have you laughing for hours. Scale to the Top of the Mark for live music and a spectacular view of the City, or visit the Starlight Room for a nightcap in true San Francisco style.
