On June 7, 7x7 and Ghirardelli Square staged the annual celebration of the Best of San Francisco. Hundreds of guests enjoyed warm breezes at an exclusive event with several cherished partners, delicous bites, and specialty cocktails.
A special feature included event partner Nissan Infiniti San Francisco's LEAF vehicle, and called on guests to take a pic with the innovative and stylish car to compete for a prize package valued at $700.00. 7x7 chose Tyler Dorman and his specifically San Franciscan message to win—check out the gallery here!
Google Schemer was also on hand, welcoming guests to sign up, and to make merry with their photo booth curated by LiveFotoSF—check out the fun photos here!
