Petaluma Village Premium Outlets is a shopping center with your standard fare of factory stores. Unlike typical outlet centers, this one is shaped like a real mall; with the parking lot surrounding the buildings. It makes it convenient to park once and walk store to store. factory outlet stores found here at petaluma are like those also found at many other factory outlets centers. However, there is an Off 5th Saks Fifth Avenue, Coach outlet, Mikasa, and Gap Outlet.
This is part of the Chelsea Premium Outlets centers which boasts 25 such venues across the United States. In Northern California alone, they have one in Gilroy, which is the largest!
Many clothing and shoe outlets from Ann Taylor, Donna Karan, Jones New York, Brooks Brothers, Gap, Timberland, Bass, Saks Fifth Aveune, and more. Shop at home furnishings outlets like Mikasa, Villeroy & Boch, Linen Barn, Corning Revere and Le Gourmet Chef. Other outlets include Bose (electronics), Book Warehouse, K*B Toy Outlet, and Music For A Song at 40% to 80% off the tag prices in Regular Stores like Macy's, Sak's Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, etc. but a Caveat: many items (but NOT ALL!) are old stocks or last years fashion! so you should really take time to inspect and scrutinize each merchandise to separate the Grain from the Chaff!
40%-80% off the tag price in major shops!

Serramonte is a neighborhood on the border of Daly City and Colma in the suburbs south of San Francisco, California, USA, that is home to numerous shopping malls, strip malls, and big box retailers. The nexus of Serramonte is Serramonte Center, an expansive shopping mall near the intersection of State Route 1 and Interstate 280, in the triangle formed by Callan Boulevard, Serramonte Boulevard, and Junipero Serra Boulevard.
Serramonte Shopping Center is a premier shopping destination for San Francisco and the Peninsula conveniently located in Daly City off Hwy 280 and Serramonte Blvd just 12 minutes from SOMA via I-280. With the closest Target to the city, Macy's, Mervyn's, more than 120 shops and the new Barracuda Japanese Restaurant, there's truly something for everyone at Serramonte!
The massive Serramonte Center contains more than 120 stores selling everything from jewelry to juice, making it a prime destination for Peninsula shoppers. Ample parking and an extended holiday schedule make this center particularly attractive to weekend perusers. The galleria houses Macy's and Mervyn's department stores as well as Foot Locker, Victoria's Secret, my favorite See's Candy (already closed), Hot Topic, Forever 21, Good Guys, Perfumania, Hot Dog on a Stick, and the Silver and Gold Connection and the famous philippine version of gap called "BENCH" (already closed), Manila Bay Restaurant and other filipino outlets since this area is home to many filipinos.
Opens: Mon-Sat 10am-9pm; Sun 11am-7pm

Macy's has long stood as the pinnacle in department store shopping, and when visiting San Francisco you'll have the chance to take in the Macy's West experience at it's flagship store here in Union Square. This seven-story Macy's West Union Square features contemporary fashions for women, juniors, and children, plus jewelry, fragrances, cosmetics, and accessories. The sixth floor offers a "hospitality suite" where visitors can leave their coats and packages, grab a cup of coffee, or find out more about the city from the concierge. The top floors contain home furnishings, and the Cellar sells kitchenware and gourmet foods. Across the street, Macy's East has five floors of men's fashions. A good Way to unwind is to Hang around the Cheesecake Factory at the top.

The Crocker Galleria is a beautiful shopping center, modeled after Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. During the week, this center is bustling with daytime office workers from the surrounding high rises or the affluent who don't need to work. On Saturdays, this mall is generally quite and offers a nice respite from the energy of downtown. On Sundays, the center is closed. Crocker Galleria also features a spectacular glass pavilion soaring above three levels of specialty shops and services and a whole level of eateries serving a vast array of ethnic and specialty foods you so often find in the San Francisco culinary landscape.
Although the mall has a roof, it isn't fully enclosed. Wireless Internet access is available and free - so grab your computer, pick out some food or just a beverage and shop and work all in the same location.
Crocker Galleria features some fine names in shopping, including Polo Ralph Lauren, the Ralph Lauren Home Store, Versace and Barcelino. So you can spend an arm and a leg here!

The Nordstrom department store, known for its outstanding service and shoes, is the Bay Area flagship. It offers an extensive collection of designer clothing for men, women, and children.The new Bloomingdale's is the second largest in the chain and features an outstanding collection of designers and other luxuries
Westfield San Francisco Center houses numerous high-end stores and provides enough reasons to walk from Union Square and spend your shopping time in comfort!

The Embarcadero Center was built in the middle of the financial district, replacing a part of Commercial Street, to provide impulsive financial workers a place to eat lunch and spend their money. The mostly corporate brand-name shops offer the type of modern tastes that a banker's wife would like. There are plenty of corporate style restaurants, such as a Chevy's, and there's also a cinema. What makes this place worth visiting for the tourist though is the wonderful views upward from the open air terrace gardens. Joggers and hikers will find the place virtually empty on the weekend, making multiple steps on the constantly moving escalators especially easy. Then, look up and view the various building in all their glory without street level obstructions. Walk over Front and Davis streets without traffic lights. Pass fountains and Statues until you reach the old Federal Reserve Building on Sansome street. Views of the Ferry Building and Bay are also possible from some vantage points. If you want to get coffee, several shops offer that, and there's even a cinema. See my
Perfume, Wine, Flowers, Shoes, Men's & Women's business clothes, and other items of the well appointed business person. There's also a number of ethnic restaurants with a more than quiet atmosphere. Patio dining under the skyscrapers is available for some third level restaurants. There's also a cinema. The window shopping is made wonderful by the great views of the financial district. There's also several sculptures and fountains of interest here. For more great images of the Embarcadero Center, see my Things to Do Tip.
Higher than average prices, but the service should be excellent. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: See website for detailsDirections: See website for directions, but basically it's in the Financial district between Clay and Sacramento streets, and between Drumm and Sansome. There are several parking garages, but be careful about the price...Website: http://www.embarcaderocenter.com/ec/

 San Francisco Ferry Terminal by karenincalifornia
The Ferry Terminal was built in 1896, and by the 1980s and 1990s it was decrepit looking and neglected. Thanks to major rebuilding by the City, the terminal is now an incredibly fun place to browse and eat.
The San Francisco Ferry Terminal has shops that sell produce, books, cooking tools, gifts, olive oil, chocolate, meat, bread, wine, cheese, coffee, and a few delis, including the newly opened Japanese deli.
The San Francisco Ferry Terminal is used by Golden Gate Ferries. This is the place you would come to catch the ferry to Sausalito or Larkspur in Marin County. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Pier 1, San FranciscoDirections: On the Embarcadero at the end of Market.

Even though we spent two weeks in San Francisco, I didn't get a chance to do that much shopping. I think I will have to return just to shop! However, I did make it to a few places. The Crocker Galleria is high-end shopping, but if you're strapped for time, why not shop the best?
If you're not into shopping, at least go to the rooftop garden and take in the view; the mall is covered by a glass dome, which reminded me of Eaton Centre in Toronto.
Many of the stores carry expensive designer stuff... fun to browse too, if you're a little low in the cash department. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 50 Post StreetPhone: (415) 393-1505Directions: Post and Sutter at KearnyWebsite: www.shopatgalleria.com
