Until all those new high-rise condos are completed in SoMa, the Financial District still has the market cornered on SF skyscrapers—the Transamerica Pyramid and Bank of America Tower practically define our skyline. And though the neighborhood is known primarily as the home of corporate headquarters, all those white collars have made it synonymous with something else: great food and drink. After all, investment bankers need to eat (not to mention wind down after all those deals). So it’s no wonder you find well-loved standards like Aqua and Tadich Grill in the area. And the watering holes are about to get busier. High-tech companies are moving back downtown after fleeing SF during the dot-com bust: Vacancy rates are down, commercial rents are up and, last year, Yahoo was among several Peninsula companies gobbling up square footage. Rumor even has it that Google is in talks with Gap Inc. to sublet three floors of the clothing giant’s headquarters overlooking the Embarcadero. Looks to us like FiDi is back.
