On Waverly

Other shops sell generic SF memorabilia, but On Waverly (onwaverly.com) showcases delightful locally designed, culturally iconic reminders of your time in Chinatown: smiling bok choy patches, mah jongg tile guest soap sets, risograph prints of Chinatown neon signs, bamboo steamers brimming with dim sum plushies. The brilliantly curated book and 'zine section makes Asian American culture accessible to all ages: Angel Halo Chang's Asian Market Shopping Spree teaches toddlers counting in a tasty way; bilingual Chinese folktales broaden bedtime story options; Karen Fang's biography of legendary Disney artist Tyrus Wong reveals the brilliant mind behind Bambi; and Helen Zia's Asian American Dreams: The Emergence of a People updates America's immigrant narratives for the 21st century,
