On The Job-Yerba Buena Gardens

Bordered by the SFMOMA, Moscone Convention Center, and the Metreon complex, a patch of green known as the Yerba Buena Gardens rests amongst the high rises and retail of the area. Built several years ago, this slice of Eden affords local workers a place to enjoy their lunches on a nice sunny day

Upon the grounds is a waterfall dedicated to the late Martin Luther King
Visitors can walk behind the falls and gaze out towards the Marriot Hotel
The SF MOMA is one of many museums withing the block that encompasses the park. There is a Jewish art museum and the museum of the African Diaspora to name a few
