Golden Gate Fortune Cookies, at 56 Ross Alley, has been supplying fortune cookies to Chinatown and around the world since 1962. Ross Alley, the oldest alley in San Francisco, was once notorious for brothels and gambling.
The fortune cookie is a crisp Asian American cookie usually made from flour, sugar, vanilla, and oil with a "fortune", a piece of paper with words of faux wisdom and often, lucky nummbers, wrapped inside. Although served after dinner at Chinese restaurants, the fortune cookie is an American invention, popularized in the early 20th century and based off a traditional Japanese cracker.
