Candy-hued facades and charming nooks and crannies make up the city we call home. But perhaps it's never been so glistening as in beloved local blogger SFGirlByBay's new coffee table topper, See San Francisco (Chronicle Books). Food for our esthetically driven brains, this page-turner is a neighborhood guide to the most Instagram-worthy sights to be found in the 7x7.

SFGirlByBay, aka Victoria Smith, captures SF's best haunts and sheds new light onto some forgotten favorites through her photos of interiors and pretty spots that catch the eye of both seasoned San Franciscans and curious first-timers. This book does our pretty city serious justice. Pre-order it here.
