Exploring San Francisco's Hidden Gem: What Treasure Island Has To Offer!

Exploring San Francisco's Hidden Gem: What Treasure Island Has to Offer: 2024!
Often people pass by Treasure Island in San Francisco on the Bay Bridge not knowing what exactly the island has to offer. In 2024, all they see are orange road construction signs. This is true, as Treasure Island continues to build, demolish, and rebuild again all in an effort to make a complete makeover of the island.
Treasure Island in San Francisco has an incredible history, some of which we chronicle in this video, but this video is not about the history of Treasure Island, but what the island has to offer in 2024 and beyond.
Treasure Island in San Francisco is on the boarder of "vibrancy." Eclectic? Not yet. Interesting, certainly? Good food? Yes. Cocktails? A BIG yes.

always fun to explore the hidden gemsm, and never know what you will find, and that looks like fun

[@StephenandAndie]

Holy smokes, what a boatload of info I had no idea about as far as Treasure Island. I literally knew nothing beyond its name! This is awesome, thank you guys!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, I had an idea, only because we've been there for music events as we mentioned, but it was "odd" back then, like they're "trying" to do something. But, while doing this video, I really dove in and the history alone is incredible. Where it goes from here will be something we follow, for sure. Cheers 🥤

[@novelworldtravels]

Hey! This was a very cool and thorough video. It's cool to see the old island and how so many are getting great use of it. It's bittersweet to see people start businesses and others enjoying recreation there while the island I knew is disappearing. So glad you shared this and it's cool to be a part of you sharing the history and future of my old home. Thanks a lot!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Thank you, Kenny. I have learned, through your video, and research, and from visiting the island, that there is a lot of uncertainty on the island and of its future. Building the affordable housing is a step in the right direction, as the island and the powers to be simply cannot forget about the importance of affordable housing and how critical that demographic is to the island. When we visit SF, I think all the time about the staff at these hotels and restaurants who provide excellent service, knowing that most of them don't live in the city, but have to commute from S. city, Brisbane, Oakland etc. Treasure Island needs to be able to house this workforce, and also build their "palaces" too.

[@novelworldtravels]

@@SippyCupAdventures Agreed, I hope they include affordable housing. We'll have to keep up with the progress and see. Great video!

Fantastic to learning and see all the history of Treasure Island. I participate in dragon boat races there once and flew my drone there but good to know there is more to it. Wow treasure fest.... Thanks for all the good info. Cheers and thanks Darin👍

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Yeah, Treasure Fest looks like a good time. We had no idea when we arrived. I always ask, "Would we visit again," and the answer is "yes." Appreciate you stopping by, Mike! 🥤

[@WonderAboutUs]

I have always wondered just what Treasure Island was, but never stopped

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Well, now you know(ish) 🤣Appreciate you stopping by! 🥤

[@Live2dayWanderland]

Have another shot! lol and this might be dangerous, yep definitely a good time. Looks like a cool place to visit, I can get on board for all the distilleries etc Thanks for sharing another good one guys!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Hey! Always appreciate your patronage. It was a fun find. I am finding out that a lot of people who drive the Bay Bridge daily have never visited. Cheers you two! 🥤

[@thetouchback]

Damn, that lobster and corn dog is wild. I would have never thought something like that existed and now I really want to try one.

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Pretty dam good. On a sports theme, Gold Bar carries Joe Montana's whiskey there. He's involved somehow. Thanks for stopping by!! 🥤

[@AdamDoesNotExist]

I've been thinking about visiting Treasure Island for years, and have still never been. Might be time to make a visit. Thanks for the video!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Hey Adam! I'll pay you $1 if you do a video and give us a shoutout for piquing your interest 😂🥤💰 Yeah, maybe go when Treasure Fest is going on. As you may have seen, I used another creator's footage (she's new, and the video just showed up. Perfect footage) We had no idea Treasure Fest was happening on the day we went.

[@AdamDoesNotExist]

@@SippyCupAdventures Hahaha, deal

[@SippyCupAdventures]

@@AdamDoesNotExist Awesome! Yeah, you should go during Treasure Fest. Lots of props and interesting folks. I wish I was more comfortable interviewing people, but it would be interesting to hear the take on locals about the future of the island.

[@SteveSacramento]

I have been wanting to explore this island for a long time! Now I can do it with more information! I haven't even seen this video yet but I'm going to watch it now. Let's see what I can learn about this place!?! Edit... Surprise you are on camera now! LOL

[@SippyCupAdventures]

LOL! Thanks Steve! It's worthy of a visit. So is Alameda Island too. It's been a couple of years, but very similar vibes. (We have a video on it 😃)

[@eddieonthegotravel]

I’ve often wondered but never hit that off ramp. Very interesting.

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Eddie, appreciate you stopping by! It's a common theme, I am learning, that people drive by it, maybe everyday for those commuters, and have never stopped! 🥤

[@ChooseAdventureCaliforniaStyle]

I've never been to Treasure Island and always wondered what was there, history... This video was great! There's a conspiracy theory that the world's fairs all over the place were constructed by a previous civilization. And over time our civilization is demolishing all the old buildings to cover up the old knowledge. I know, not my theory but it is a thing. So really interesting the future of this place. Despite being a conspiracy theory they really do keep tearing down these beautiful historic buildings. If you wanna dive into the theory I can send you links 😉. Great video!

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Yeah, email me the link. I am now consuming all things Treasure Island (to add to all the SF content I already watch). I believe in my research, at the Worlds Fair on the island, another Worlds Fair (1939) was happening in NYC at the same time. SF, was like "Screw it, we're still having one" 😆

[@ngreen2013]

Great video guys! And who’s that cool looking guy with the green hat watching Nox??

[@SippyCupAdventures]

Ok, a green hat. Got it! Appreciate you stopping by, Nate!
