Ghiradelli Square
 |
|
|
Ghirardelli Square dates from 1864, when it served as a factory making Civil War uniforms. It's best known as the former chocolate and spice factory of Domingo Ghirardelli (pronounced "Gear-a-deli"). The factory has since been converted into a three-level mall containing 50-plus stores and 11 dining establishments. Scheduled street performers entertain regularly in the West Plaza. Incidentally, the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company still makes chocolate, but its factory is in a lower-rent district in the East Bay. Still, if you have a sweet tooth, you won't be disappointed at the mall's fantastic old-fashioned soda fountain.
