I took  a trip to San Francisco with my own mother, and we scouted out some of the locations from The Joy Luck Club.

The kinds of shops described by the girls in their neighborhoods.

 

 

Waverly Place, from which Waverly Jong got her name.

 

 

A fortune cookie factory (which you know, from the book, is actually an American invention).

 

 

The kind of machine that the mothers from the book would have worked at.
