Railfans and foodies alike will find good reason to visit the southernmost BART stop on the Peninsula — Millbrae. Experience a railroad museum, a year-round farmers' market that offers everything from flowers to fresh vegetables and fruits and bread, an old school butcher shop, and a family-owned Vietnamese restaurant serving yummy comfort food. It's all just steps from the Millbrae BART station.

There’s plenty to do around the Downtown Berkeley BART station, but if you don’t have time for a play at Berkeley Rep, or a Cal basketball game, spend 36 minutes taking a short stroll, checking out some cool public art and grabbing a quick snack.

Where will BART take you this weekend? Will it be to the reopened Children's Fairyland in Oakland, to San Francisco to pick up a Chinese treat usually reserved only for royalty, or to San Francisco's only independent, non-profit, farmer-operated farmer's market? Wherever it may be, or if you wish to stay home, have a happy weekend!
