Emporio Rulli II Caffe at Union Square
Where do you take out-of-town guests for a relaxed breakfast on a Sunday morning when the sun is shining in San Francisco?
Emporio Rulli II Caffe in the center of Union Square - directly across from Tiffany's.
The menu is not extensive but a ham and egg sandwich on a freshly-bake croissant is more than satisfactory. Add a bowl of fresh fruit, along with the "scene and be seen" crowd strolling by; there's no better place to take in the sights and sounds of San Francisco while soaking up a great conversation along with the Sunday edition of The San Francisco Chronicle and New York Times.
The sound of Italian opera adds to the ambiance as you sit under an umbrella sipping one of the best latte's in town.
Tiffany's opens at noon on Sunday, so there is plenty of time to stroll through the outdoor art gallery in the center of the square before exploring the luxury retailer.
Some of the more affordable items at Tiffany's: a sterling-silver key ring for $76, a bud vase for $65, a Tiffany Portfolio watch for women or an Executive T-clip sterling silver fountain pen for $225, a brass Tiffany Portfolio world travel alarm clock for $200 or a Tiffany DELFT pitcher for $80.
Of course, you can still find the $1.3 million engagement ring, the $445,000 diamond necklace, the $447,500 strand of Tahitian pearls that will be presented in the signature Tiffany blue box.
In 1961, Audrey Hepburn helped immortalize the company in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's."
