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?

We tried to book our trip 6 weeks in advance and couldn't get it done. It might be different in the Winter months though.

See the aquarium at Pier 39 if you can.

Drive down Lombard Street if you can. Also one block further away from the pier you can drive down Filbert Street, but be ready that is one steep slope.

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

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.

Bay Bridge to Oakland,
Alcatraz
Wine Country
Bay Bridge to Sausaletto (sp)
Fisherman's Wharf
Cable Cars
Chinatown
Presidio
Seal Island
As a piece of trivia, when Alcatraz was closed in 1963-64, the U.S, had no idea what to do with the "Rock" after it closed and put it up for sale. LaMarr Hunt was interested in buying it as a site for "amusement park", his bid was turned down as the Govt kept the island. Al Capone once refered to Alcatraz" as "Worlds Of Fun", the name of the later Hunt built K.C. theme park.

Sausalito is a cool little town with some decent restaurants, worth a little dinner trip for sure..Agreed 100%

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.

We'll only have about 2 1/2 days to play. Two couples going. You have to remember we're from the upper midwest and not far off from those Capitol One Viking commercials.

We'll want seafood for at least one nice sit down evening meal. No tie, jeans are a must.

I'd like to see Ben Davidson's cell at Alcatraz......is that something that can be done in half a day?

If you had one art museum to recommend which one would it be?

This is SF outside of a very few very upscale restaurants no one bats an eye at jeans. Why? Too many tech millionaires and tech people aren't big fans of dressing up, so people tend to dress down. Granted this also makes shopping in SF more pleasant than say NYC. Since they can't tell by looking at you if you have money or not you tend to get great service.

So given what you've said, if I probably would not recommend the asian art museum. Both the De Young and the Cal Academy of sciences are across from each other in golden gate park(so you get to see a bit of the park too). While I haven't been there yet I've heard great things about the academy of sciences. It's natural history but alot of people have fun there. Here's the web site

http://www.calacademy.org/

If you want more classical fine art's the De Young is across the street.

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.
