Obsidian Arrowheads
To this day it’s not uncommon to find obsidian arrowheads while hiking in the undisturbed parks of the northwest region of the US.
Hangtown Fry
At a whopping $6 a pop in 1849 (about $200 today), the Hangtown Fry quickly became a symbol of wealth among the gold miners.
California’s Wild Mustangs
Mustangs, as a term, simply refers to a horse of mixed breeding, but over the years they have become iconic symbols of the American West.
Irish Coffee
Since perfecting the recipe, the Buena Vista in San Francisco has served up an average of 2,000 cups of Irish Coffee EVERY DAY.
Dim Sum
A Northern California tradition dating back to San Francisco’s gold mining days, dim sum is a local experience definitely not to be missed.
