Description
View of Transamerica Building San Francisco plus Café Zoetrope is celebrating 23 years this month in the historic Sentinel Building at Kearny and Columbus streets, owned by Oscar-winning film director Francis Ford Coppola.
Named for Coppola's production company American Zoetrope, which is headquartered upstairs, the restaurant was designed as a gathering place for North Beach's musicians, artists, and visitors.
It's inspired by post-World War II cafe culture in Paris, where intellectuals like Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus would patronize bohemian hangouts such as Les Deux Magots and Brasserie Lipp.
"To live the life of a bohemian, you need a cafe," said Coppola.
