Things that are a must see in San Fran
 

We're heading to SF the end of January for a 4 day weekend. Staying at the Westin in Union Square.

Things I want and will do are:

Happy hour at Tres Agave's.
Ride a cable car.
See the Golden Gate that takes you to hell.
Pee on someone's yard in oakland.

Anything else we should make it a priority to see?

Alcatraz is worth it. But book in advance.

Alcatraz....but buy tickets now.

I'm confused. I thought if I crossed the Golden Gate I was in Alcatraz. Better read up.

Touristy Stuff....(not big into it but I'm sure I can find more if you want)

Coit Tower
Lombard St(famous crooked road).
Palace of Fine arts and the presido

Wine drinker?

Hit up napa or sonoma(sonoma tends to be cheaper).

Always a good chance of rain be prepared. Fairly cold for SF this year but not that bad for those born in real weather. ;)

There are some great restaurants depending upon what you want.

Some good museums De Young, Asian Art. Been too busy but I've heard the California Academy of sciences is great.

The question is what do you want to do? Let me know and I can talk to some people and see what's available.

Fisherman's Wharf.

The Presidio.

There was another SF thread not TOO long ago.....I'll see if my search-fu is good

Heh no...but if you crossed the bay bridge you might wish you were(i.e. you're in oakland then). Alcatraz is in the Bay on an island....tickets can be hard to get but this isn't really the tourist season.

Rent a car for a short day trip:

Muir Woods and Point Reyes

Get to Muir Woods first thing in the morning (opens at 8:00 am) and you'll enjoy the park in peace because the tourist buses won't be there yet. Get to the park at noon and it will be a disaster.

Fisherman's Wharf is a joke. Don't waste your time.

Oh, Chinatown used to be great, but I haven't been there for years. I presume it's still, well, kind of Chineesy.

Why do you say that?

Ohh the Ferry building and some of the waterfront down town can be a nice downtown can be nice over lunch, etc.

It has an Asian flair, but not in a good way. Obviously, it won't be baseball season, but if you ever get a chance to get to the ballpark, do it. It's amazing.

Like really bad driving skills?
