36 Hours in San Francisco

“Stop into the only-in-San Francisco Long Now futurist society at the lively Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture. Part cocktail bar, part science-centric museum to the future, the Interval at Long Now has an eight-foot-tall orrery (a mechanical model of the solar system), artwork by the musician Brian Eno, and bottles of spirits hanging from the ceiling.”
