Sights Golden Gate Park is really touristy but that place is pretty crazy, just take an afternoon to explore and you'll come across a bunch of random crap (Chinese Pavilion, random man made lake, Shakespeare Garden). The Presidio is also nice park and is right next to the Palace of Fine Arts. Photo-op, but nothing much there but grass, a giant dome and the LucasArts compound at the Presidio. Crissy Field is walking distance from here and it's a beach with views of the Golden Gate Bridge.
The Fillmore Area is an area with lots of jazz bars and eateries. Upper Fillmore is more shopping but they have some interesting stores. Also Japantown is right on Fillmore and Geary, if you want to indulge any of those interests. If you go to Chinatown, check out Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory on Ross Alley. The operation is essentially a long gray room with a bunch of hunched Chinese women hand folding fortune cookies, but the cookies are delicious and the fortune cookie rounds are a local staple. If you want a good view and have a car, take a trip up to Twin Peaks. It's one of the highest points in the city and you get 360 views of the entire SF. Museums SFMOMA, DeYoung Museum (in Golden Gate Park), Legion of Honor (seconded and it's near the Golden Gate Bridge if you want to partake in that kind of touristy), Asian Art Museum (mostly ancient art), Exploratorium (hands-on, science) Food Rosamunde Sausage Grill at Lower Haight: German grilled sausages with German toppings served to you by an old German lady. Cheap and if you're already on at Upper Haight, take a bus ride down the street. Sophie's Crepes at Japantown: Best gelato filled crepes, get the caramel. Caffe Delucchi at North Beach: Pretty touristy but North Beach is a nice area to explore if you're already in Chinatown. Service is shit but food can't be argued with. Arizmendi Bakery: Breakfast baked goods, if you feel the urge. It's a couple blocks south of Golden Gate Park so it's pretty accessible if you're at the park. Also serves flatbread pizzas. Jeanty At Jacks at the Financial District: French food, pricier. Pork chops, tomato soup, Bistro Jeanty in Napa Valley is a bit better but if you stay in the city, it's worth a trip. Jam it back in, in the dark.  |
