Fillmore Center Waterfall & Plaza

This patch of green flanked by apartment towers is open to the public and a welcome break from Fillmore sidewalks. Walk past the fountain at O'Farrell until you spot the wall of water cascading over rock, drowning out city noise for impromptu meditations. At night the waterfall glows purple and gold and makes a romantic date-night detour after a show at the Fillmore or dinner at State Bird.
