I lived here nearly 50 years and I didn’t know about this place. Thanks, Emma!
Stumbled upon SF's Mechanics’ Institute! 🏛️ Est. 1854, this downtown hidden gem has a gorgeous old-world library and a famous chess club. Feels like stepping into an old movie! Perfect place to slow down & read. 📍 57 Post St. Day Pass: $15 #MechanicsInstitute #SanFrancisco #SF #HiddenGem
