Eye On The Bay: Financial District - 8/29/11

Many of us in the Bay Area have visited San Francisco's famed "Financial District." Everyday, thousands of us come to work among its skyscrapers. Yet, how many of us come downtown just to enjoy ourselves? Come on a trip to rediscover a vital neighborhood. Take a stroll through history, and stand--literally--on the spot where an old "gold ship" is buried. Visit what one historian says "is the most famous building in all the world." Eat at some of the best restaurants on the planet.
