Le Diner à San Francisco, an annual elegant all-white pop-up picnic dinner with a long tradition in Paris was held in San Francisco for the third time this Friday. The secret location {Civic Center Plaza} was not revealed until hours before the picnic - and by late afternoon long rows of tables set up under the plaza's allées of pollarded sycamore trees were slowly turning into elaborately decorated all-white picnic tables, with thousands of diners following the all-white dress code {bringing fabulous foods & wines to the tables} ...
