Dining Along the 49 Mile Drive

The 49-mile Scenic Drive is a designated scenic road tour highlighting much of San Francisco, California. It was created in 1938 by the San Francisco Down Town Association to showcase the city's major attractions and natural beauty during the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition. (Lubow and Rosen, 2001)

This non-profit fundraising dinner for ten guests was designed to take diners on a culinary journey through San Francisco’s neighborhoods and their related cuisines.
