But, eventually, you’re going to want to get outside and see what’s close by. Last year, we brought you the 10 best walkable destinations near Dreamforce. This time around, we decided to check out some of the new hot spots in the area. All of the destinations have opened for business since last year’s Dreamforce, and we suggest whether it’s a short cab ride or walk away.
