On top of having a really strong music festival game, the Bay has been the home of many artists including Zendaya, G-Eazy, Kehlani, and Green Day!

3. Boba Tea

It’s a fact. We have some of the best tea. Every single complex in the Bay Area has at least one boba tea place and each place has its’ own identity. Bay Area citizens are definitely conditioned to become boba tea aficionados.

4. LGBTQ

It’s no secret that the Bay Area has been heavily involved with the advancement of LGBTQ+ rights for a long time. In addition to the work done by Harvey Milk and the Castro District, we have one of the biggest pride events in the country. San Francisco is also the home to the first public high school in the country to offer a class in LGBT history and many cities in the Bay have painted rainbow crosswalks onto their streets.

8. Interstate 280 to San Francisco

Our views are to die for. The sights on Interstate 280 make the ride from San Jose to San Francisco a magical one. And let’s not forget the Flintstone house on the way!

9. Highway 17 to Santa Cruz

Highway 17 is definitely another beautiful ride. Although the sights are beautiful, its curves make the highway one of the most dangerous routes in the state, giving it the nicknames “Killer 17” and “Blood Alley”. Evidently, driving along on highway 17 is definitely a thrill to die for!
