An Introduction to Ghiradelli Square

When I was a kid, I resolved that I would try to always live within roughly an hour of Ghiradelli Square.  Anchored by the old Ghiradelli chocolate factory, which became a big-time ice cream place over 20 years ago, the square has evolved a lot over the past decade.

Now, much of Ghiradelli is taken up by the company that operates the Fairmont hotels; Ghiradelli Square is the home of a large Fairmont fractional ownership property.  We don't know too much about that operation.

What we do know more about are some of the other shopping/restaurant experiences still available there (beyond the ice cream place, which is still a major institution and destination for tourists and San Francisco schoolkids).
