The Civic Center is where the opera, symphony and the new main library attract music and book lovers. City Hall, on Van Ness, has been recently renovated and is arguably the most lavish city building in the United States. The Opera House, Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall, and the Veteran's Building with the Herbst Theater complete the Center.

On Market and Fulton, a farmers' market appears on Wednesday and Sunday at the UN Plaza.
