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

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