    It's duck season in SF
    Juan V.

    San Franciscans knows how to have fun. There lots of places in San Francisco that offer something for anybody especially on Clement street. When you have to do it yourself it takes some planning and party supplies. When someone throws a Tantrum in San Francisco it includes party favors and toys. On Clement street there is place which sells fun novelty items and it's called Tantrum. Entering Tantrum there are aisles of items that are nostalgic like the Doggie Diner miniature statue. You will also find the San Francisco Fog Globe. This is also good place to find a gift . Lots of greeting cards for any occasions like birthdays and acknowledgments. You will also find bags and books along with games inside. This is a fun place to check out and enjoy and catch a Tantrum from items on Clement street in San Francisco. This place has lots of things for any age because it's "diverse" with lots of fun things related to the " San Francisco universe " although is called Tantrum there is no need to "curse "or act up because this Tantrum is for fun and not to be "perverse" A Tantrum happens when someone emotionally "hurts" it's similar to loud random" outbursts" but this Tantrum store on Clement street sells everything from journals , notepads, games, and " T-shirts"

    Cute Lil store. Well decorated, it is so pleasant to see. I was looking for Jellycat. They do have some, but not a lot. They have so many cute stuff though.

    Anyone who says "San Francisco is a dying city" should take a stroll down clement street.. they will very quickly see that there is a vibrant and thriving atmosphere filled with amazing food, interesting art, and where this review fits in, many retail shops filled with unparalleled quirky, quality and products willed with character and charm. Today's highlight: Tantrum! I do not have kids (nor will I have any, it's not in the cards for me by choice) but my sister has a 6mo baby who just came to visit for five days and after hearing about this shop, I stopped in to spoil my niece with some quality toys and sensory things. The shop was amazing, with so much to look through and many staff members to help with whatever questions one might have! Everything I picked up had a sturdy feeling to it, as well as clear tagging (about what was appropriate for what age) which was very helpful for me, as someone who knows just about nothing about what babies can have what toys... it must be said that this establishment is not inexpensive by any means. The least expensive item I bought was a decorative block letter (out of three) which were four dollars each. Fine for a decoration. But the actual toys, those were much much pricier, however the quality justifies the cost in my opinion. I'm happy to have shopped local, and even happier to have spoiled my niece, though she'll probably never know it Either way this shop is great, and if you're willing to shell out some extra $$ for some quality goods, it's worth going into! Or even if you're not and just want to look around, it's a feast for the eyes!

    Individually wrapped gift, went the extra mile!

    Any time i have to buy a gift for a kid i come to tantrum! They have the cutest selection of well made toys, arts and crafts (coloring books, stickers, pencils, crayons), stationary and cards, newborn gifts, and the list goes on! It's priced reasonably - on the higher end, but well worth it for the quality and selection. The service I've received here has always been outstanding! Each gift is individually wrapped, the child's name stamped on a tag & thoughtfully assembled. Love coming here and getting lost in the kid magic! It's a treat

    Shelves full of Jellycats and more! (P1)

    Nice collection of goods! They carry Jellycats! Heaven for both kids and adults. Huge selection of cards ranging from birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, thank-yous, etc.. But yes, Jellycats! I have been a customer since 2015 and will keep coming back for my amuseables. They also deliver to your doorstep (check website though.)

    5 starsJapanese Tea Garden - peaceful escape inside Golden Gate Park…read more Finally stopped by the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park and it lived up to the peaceful reputation. This is the oldest public Japanese garden in North America and it shows -- well maintained winding paths, koi ponds, the iconic Drum Bridge, pagoda, stone lanterns, and that big bronze Buddha all create a nice calm vibe right in the middle of the city. The garden feels authentic with graceful maples, pines, azaleas, and cherry trees (depending on the season). Strolling the paths and crossing the bridges is relaxing, and the zen garden area is a nice quiet spot to pause. I snapped plenty of photos because the scenery is very photogenic. The tea house is worth a quick stop for matcha or snacks if you want to sit and soak it in. Overall it's a solid little oasis -- not huge so you can see most of it in 45-60 minutes, but still worth lingering if it's not too crowded. A couple small notes: it can get busy with tourists (especially midday), so early morning or weekdays feel more zen. Entrance fee is there but they have free hours some mornings. Parking in Golden Gate Park is the usual hunt -- Music Concourse garage or street spots nearby work if you time it right. Reliable spot for a tranquil walk and some Japan-inspired beauty without leaving SF. Good addition to a Golden Gate Park day. 5 stars. Nice peaceful garden that delivers what it promises.

This by far had the most monuments, but in such a small area!! On the map, it looked a lot bigger, but my boyfriend and I were happy to walk around. I suggest you book your tickets in advance and get a time slot because we got there at 4:45 on a Saturday and the 5 PM tickets were sold out. The lady at the gate said we could buy the three day pass which was $25 then we could attend the other two parks the following two days. Lol. It was kind of confusing, but I was glad to be able to go to this Japanese tea garden and experience it for myself. The tea garden itself was packed! We didn't want to waste our time in the Teagarden itself just getting tea or snack snacks, as well as experiencing the gift shop, but I wanted to check out the actual garden and monuments within the garden area. There are maybe 10 different pathways you can go to get to each area, but we circled the park maybe three times to make sure we got enough pictures of everything! Lol. A lot of the pathways loop around each other or have multiple entry points, which is rather nice considering there were so many people. I also liked the steppingstone over the water. Kind of cute and interactive. There were these huge steep steps at one of the monuments that were really hard to step down because it felt like you were stepping at least a foot down with each step in a crazy maybe 45° angle! I'm glad we were going down those steps instead of up! There's also a archway friendship bridge that people were climbing. I wanted to take a picture, but there were too many people waiting in line and taking their own personal pictures on. So I didn't want to be weird and take pictures of random people. Lol this is also why I do not have a picture of the Teagarden Cafe portion as well. Overall, I think of taking personal family pictures here or wedding. Pictures would be gorgeous with the beautiful backgrounds if they are allowed. I saw a handful of people taking personal pictures, but with their own cameras. I'm guessing you have to have a license or something to come in the park with a tripod, but I could be wrong. I really love the relaxation of the garden itself but honestly on a Saturday there were so many people here you could hear people talking everywhere. I think coming on a weekday would be a lot more tranquil.

These street cars are the star of the attraction and definitely worth the ride. For $5.70 one can buy an all-day Muni pass which allows you to ride these cars along with all other transit EXCEPT the cable cars. These cars are a collection of preserved vehicles from the '30s to '50s. Each one was given from a city in the US. They were originally brought to San Francisco to substitute for the cable cars when the c.c. Went under major renovation back in the '80s. The street cars became a hit with locals and tourists and are now a part of historic transit systems in San Francisco. The museum is small but detailed. It is open limited hours and run by a team of volunteers. They are passionate about these street cars and it shows. They are very detailed oriented but expect a pause every 10 minutes when a street car goes rolling by. The museum is free with a suggested $5 donation. It will only take about 30 minutes to cover it but a great stop if a rail fan.

The chapel has been restored and could be used today. The alters, wooden pews and decor resemble what this church may have looked like in its prime over 200 years ago.
