Places you MUST check out in San Francisco????

teedubya · 04-07-2007, 12:48 AM

I'm going to Web2.0 Expo in San Francisco at the Moscone Center on April 15-18 and am gonna be there from Sat-Sat... with Thurs and Fri free days to do whatever...

So, Im thinking hitting the Giants / St Louis game on Thursday and rooting for the Giants. Also thinking about Alcatraz.

Anyone have any good links that you could point me at so that I can create an festivities event list.

Some have said Fishermans Wharf... Chinatown...

never been to San Fran, so Im looking forward to it.

Editorial Review
Open since 1849, today's diners can still eat like a gold prospector at this nostalgic San Francisco landmark.

I would eat every meal at this place if I could. The food is great and I don't think you can find a better place to experience SF culture. It is very near Haight Ashbury. http://www.sfgate.com/traveler/guide...s/haight.shtml

The obvious choices that you've already stated......Fisherman's Wharf.....Alcatraz.

I would avoid the downtown area near 7th and Market Streets. It used to be the home of two of the most famous pools halls, Palace Billiards and Cochran Billiards.
Now the smell of urine from the homeless will gag you. They are thick in that area.

Fisherman's Wharf is like the central tourist area. Ever see the Simpson's when they turned the area around mo's into a place like that?

I'm just sayin'
But if you've never been there it's worth checking out. I would say just start walking and check out where you end up. Pop into the restaurants and bars along the way.

I have a buddy who lives/works there. I ca nask. But it depends on
1) how much time you have there
2) what you're into... i.e. museums, restaurants, shoppng, art, bars, local weird stuff ,etc.

It's fun to head north and see muir woods...

We took a ferry to Sausalito and that's a fun little town and for a landlocked Midwesterner taking the ferry across the bay is nice.

You? Just put on your favorite tight jeans and gold chains and head to the Castro district... BYOKY.

15 years ago the lovely Mrs Blowfish and I did our honeymoon in California. Started in SF, took pacific coast hwy (Hwy 1) to Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz, Monterrey, Nepenthe, San Simeon, all the way down to LA. Very cool trip.

Things I remember in SF that were cool. Been awhile, so my spelling may be off a bit:

Coit Tower: Remember the scene in Dirty Harry under the big cross? I think that was in Davidson Park, which is close to Coit Tower. Coit Tower has a great view of the city.

Haight-Asbury: Hippie Central. Peace love dope!

Ghiradelli Square: West Coast version on Hershey Chocolate. Tasty!

SF Giants Ballpark (Pac Bell Park) Cool stadium right on the water.

Golden Gate Bridge/Alcatraz/Golden Gate Park

SF Art Gallery: In a really cool park, beautiful setting.

Presidio: Old Army fort very close to the Golden Gate Bridge. Cool monument called the Palace of the Legion of honor.

Fishermen's Wharf: Great seafood. Check out the seals hanging out.

Lombard St. Bring your skateboard!

Cable Cars: Gotta ride one just for fun.

Coolest places to stay: Huntington Hotel, Palace Hotel, Nob Hill Hotel.

Stay out of Oakland. It's a dark and evil place. The People's Republic of Berkeley is a cool college town.

Have fun, take a lotta money. You'll definitely need it.
