Having seen The Art of the Brick Lego creations during her visit to Boston in 2014, Inna was excited when she learned of a new Art of the Brick exhibit in San Francisco. She purchased tickets in advance, for a 14:00 entrance on January 22, 2022.
On Saturday, we started our drive to San Francisco around 10:50, arriving downtown around noon and parking at the Fifth and Mission Garage.
From there, we initially walked for lunch at the Australian Bluestone Lane Avery Café, where Inna and I ordered the following:
- Boris: Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes, Mocha, Pastries
- Inna: Chilaquiles, Pastries,
Due to the unusually windy day, I was pretty cold, sitting outdoors. However, the Lemon-Ricotta pancakes were delicious! Inna also enjoyed her lunch special. The coffee and pastries were delicious, too!
After lunch, we strolled to the nearby Salesforce Park to enjoy the beautiful scenery. We heard the sounds of a band and came over to investigate. We saw a tiny bluegrass band playing to a small audience in Salesforce Park.
At 13:40, we decided to walk back to the Fifth and Mission Garage, where I left my Canon G7x Mark II camera in the car, then continue to The Art of the Brick exhibition nearby, on 1 Grant Avenue.
Although we had tickets for 14:00, we had to wait a whole hour in a long line before entering. While we waited, our COVID-19 vaccine status was checked by the exhibition's personnel.
Eventually, we entered the exhibit and were excited to see the many beautiful Lego creations of Nathan Sawaya.
The giant T-rex Lego was most impressive!
We really enjoyed all of the beautiful Lego-rendered artworks. After finishing our short tour of Legos, we stopped by for some pastries at the One65 Bakery nearby. The pastries and macaroons were superb!
