The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen is still up and running around South Park, but check for the exact hours. Sadly, HRD and its Bulgogi Beef burritos are not open on the weekends in SoMa. Speaking of lunch in that area, Sushirrito is still open in Union Square and The Bird is still slinging chicken sandwiches in SoMa. Not many eateries will be open during the start of Go Fest, aside from a Starbucks or Peet’s, but it will be a place to have lunch when the restaurants open afterward. If you’re starting closer to Union Square, players can head over to the Food Court of Westfield San Francisco Centre. You can fill up on great food and then go hunting for Pokemon along the Embarcadero. Inside the Ferry Building, players can find all sorts of restaurants and eateries. Players will have the opportunity to get pastries from Acme Bread Company, a cup of joe from Proyecto Diaz Coffee and sandwiches from Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen. The reason for that is Saturday is when the Farmers Market is held at the Ferry Building. If you go early for the San Francisco City Activation, you’ll have an embarrassing amount of options for breakfast. The San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace is a foodie haven, with 48 restaurants, food stalls and boutiques, and a three-times-a-week farmers market. Players have one shot to get to San Francisco and they may not reach the destination before the Pokemon Go Fest 2021 kicks off. As always, don’t leave valuables in your car because car break-ins are rampant in San Francisco.įerry service is also available Saturday and Sunday but travelers will have to be on the ball when it comes to departure times. If you’re coming on Sunday, you can find street parking for free in the downtown area. If you’re driving, you can find Saturday downtown parking for $10 via SpotHero. If you’re going during the weekend, here’s my guide for what to check out in the area for transportation, dining, restrooms and popular places to check out. The downtown area from Union Square to the Embarcadero will be the site of the City Activation on Saturday and it’s an area that’s full of gyms and Pokestops for the raids Sunday. With that said, I’ll be spending both days of Pokemon Go Fest 2021 in San Francisco. Bring that many players together and you’re bound to find a trade partner. A side benefit will be that it will be easier to facilitate trades with that many people around.ĭuring the event or afterward, players can gather and hopefully use stockpiled stardust to get that shiny they couldn’t find or that missing regional Pokemon that fills out the Pokedex. City Activations are a way of drawing players together so that the Go Fest celebration fosters a sense of community as players hunt for pocket monsters. The photo-ops will be nice but the real attraction will be the critical mass of players that will descend on these urban landscapes. It’s just a little extra for players who were already planning on attending the gathering in these cities. Think of a City Activation as icing on the cake. If you were already thinking about spending the event in the downtowns of Chicago: Denver Atlanta Indianapolis New York Seattle Austin, Texas Nashville, Tennessee or Washington, D.C. The chances of photo-ops with official Niantic displays shouldn’t be seen as a driving force for your decision. I’d say it depends on how close you live to one of these cities and if you were planning on going in the first place. That raises the question: Is Saturday’s City Activation event worth it? Ticket holders will get the same spawns, same quests and the same bonuses. Keep in mind though, the in-game experience will be the same no matter where you play. With the celebrations being held in 22 cities around the globe, including 10 in the U.S., there’s a chance that one is being held near you. Ever since Niantic announced that it would be bringing back in-person events starting with City Activations for Pokemon Go Fest 2021 on Saturday, July 17, one of the bigger questions facing players is whether to go or not.
