See The Golden Gate Bridge For A Winter Escape

Average temperature low and high: 47° - 58°
There's a reason why San Francisco was named "The Best City in the World" in 2021, and it probably has to do with the mild winters, scenic hills, and regional culinary staples, like Dungeness crab and a bread bowl full of clam chowder. A day in "Frisco" can range from lavish with broadway shows, concerts, and symphonies, to educational with museums and science exhibits. And be sure to check out SF Restaurant Week and the Bay Area Brew Fest if you consider yourself a "foodie." January is also an excellent time for hiking thanks to the cooler weather and tourist attractions due to fewer crowds. For more SF events, check this page often.

Jagged Little Pill

Jagged Little Pill

Jagged Little Pill is a musical based on the music and fury of '90s feminist and pop star Alanis Morissette. The production incorporates familiar songs like "Ironic" and "You Oughta Know" while telling a story about complex themes and relationships in a contemporary American suburb. The book for the musical was written by acclaimed Hollywood screenwriter Diablo Cody, giving the story emotional resonance that has earned acclaim and two Tony awards since debuting in 2018.

Phil Lesh

The Grateful Dead has always had a special relationship with the Warfield Theater in San Francisco. The jam-band icons performed at the historic venue in 1960s during the heyday of the Haight-Ashbury hippie scene and returned numerous times over the years, most famously during a residency in the 1980s. It only makes sense that founding member Phil Lesh is back for a one-night-only solo show for a performance likely to include Dead staples, free-wheeling solos, covers and maybe even a special guest or two. The Warfield, a beautifully designed 2,500-seat theater, has been a San Francisco landmark since 1922.
