Joining nearby POPOS 555 Mission and 100 First Street is Shaw Alley. This skinny public space is simple and features a set of whimsical sculptures.

Address
Shaw Alley
(next to 535 Mission)

Hours
8:00am–6:00pm
Monday–Friday

How to Access
Walk to 535 Mission Street between 1st and 2nd, and walk onto Shaw Alley.

The alley features a row of seating, parallel to the 535 Mission. Newly planted trees lead to the back of the alleyway.

Turn into the back corner, and you’ll find the sculptures. They sit at the back, ready to greet passengers from the new Transbay Terminal.

Don’t forget to bring lunch. Places nearby:
