Besides the golden gate bridge what else is there to do in san francisco? |
Travel Info i am going on a short trip there for just a weekend and would like some ideas on what else there is to do. any good eating places or theatres or something Travel Tips Chinatown - Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Company, and lots of good dim sum places on Stockton or Washington, little shops are the best on Grant Japan Town? - I think they changed it...haven't been recently... Union Square - shopping!! Yerba Buena - the big carousel Metreon - IMAX Theatre Saint Francis Woods - nice big houses/mansions Embarcadero - shopping Fisherman's Wharf - lots of entertainment Golden Gate Park - Stow Lake where my husband proposed, the little "island" across the bridge, the windmill, buffalos The Marina - view of Golden Gate Bridge Coit Tower - view of Golden Gate Bridge Twin Peaks - visit at night for a great city view (if it's not foggy) If it's not too foggy or cold, try the Alcatraz night tour...although when I went some friends who were visiting we went when it was foggy and cold...adds to the mood a little...hehe cable car ride, bus tour? Some elegant/romantic restaurants?? (= expensive dining) The Cliffhouse - my husband was going to bring me there for our 1st date, but if was so busy that weekend, newly renonvated, food is delicious at Sutros (the other restaurant is Bistro, but not as nice), right along coastline next to Ocean Beach McCormick and Kuleto's at Ghirardelli Square - good view of the ocean here too, if you get a good table, went here for junior prom a long tme ago, salmon was great Equinox at the top of the Hyatt Regency - 360 degree view of the city Carnelian Room at the top of the Bank of America building - great view of the Bay and the Bay Bridge Cityscape Bar & Restaurant on top of Hilton San Francisco - my sister recommends this place, great view again Cheap eats: Chinatown has a lot......check here for what you like: http://www.sfgate.com/food/bargains/... Have a great trip! Others HOME is a good restaurant for breakfast and dinner. There are museums, pier 39, Alcatraz, Fishermans Wharf, Ghiradelli Square, North Beach (Italian area), Chinatown, you name it. A nice evening might be to eat at Greens in Fort Mason Center (with a great view of the GG Bridge), then walk over to the Bayfront Theatre (about 20 feet away) for a great night of improv comedy at BATS Improv. I'd suggest Friday night, as Saturday Greens has a fixed price meal. http://improv.org/ http://www.greensrestaurant.com/... You should take the Blue & Gold Fleet ferry to Alcatraz and do the the tour, go to North Beach for a a good Italian meal, also Mara's is there, they have excellant desserts, for a museum The Palace of Fine Arts, and you can get 1/2 price day of show theatre tickets at the Tix Box Offiice in Union Square. Or there's Haight Street and Golden Gate Park. Enjoy your visit. Tons of shopping, tons of great restraunts, Alcatraz, Metreon, Wax Museum, Merry Go Round ride, Ghiradelli Square. Just sit back and watch the freaks. There is no other place that has so many whacked-out, weirdsexual, crotch grabbing, lesbianized, fried-brained, needle marked, freakazoids as SF has. And the best part is that you can watch the show for free. Vesuvio is a great bar on Jack Kerouac Alley. |
