The Ferry Building is a historic building that opened in San Francisco in 1898 and was a major transportation hub in San Francisco before the Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge were built. Damaged in the 1989 earthquake, the Ferry Building was restored as a food market hall.
San Francisco Market: Ferry Building Marketplace
Every store in the Ferry Building is related to food; from specialty markets to restaurants, to kitchen supplies and kitchen antiques, garden stores, and a Farmer's Market twice a week. Merchants include Ferry Building Wine Merchants, Stonehouse Olive Oil, Prather Ranch Meat Company, Culinaire, Miette, Tsar Nicoulai, and more.
Eateries include Hog Island Oyster Bar, Taylor's Refresher, Market Bar, and more. The Ferry Building is a great place to shop for just about anything kitchen or food-related, to sit by the bay with a glass of white wine and a plate of cheese, or meet friends for a cup of coffee. Even over 100 years later, it remains a viable meeting hub for people.

it's great that we are all moving in a more sustainable direction, but a big worry of mine is encapsulated in that shirt - that sustainability is a fad, or something that is just going to be temporarily fashionable. how about "sustainable is the new standard"?

Yes, I love Ferry Building Marketplace! Kids love gelato and sorbet from the Ciao Bella store. I try to go for cheese and bread once a month, and of course, there's the farmers' market -- also a hit for parents who take kids to sample the fruit!
I wouldn't worry too much about the t-shirt saying because "black" is always in; it's a staple, slimming, fashionable, goes with everything, and I don't think it's faddish at all.
