Sausalito tour. Scoma's (restaurant). Ride the streetcars. Muir Woods. If the weather's nice, walk or bicycle over the Golden Gate Bridge -- nm - Jammed Uzi Mar 19, 11:14 1

Haven't been there in years, but... They have probably the best Chinatown on the West Coast - con_carne Mar 19, 10:52
Helicopter in SF is on my bucket list and $225 seems cheap. -- (link) - CrankYanker Mar 19, 10:51
Biking across the bridge is *tough* in spots but highly recommended - prayformojo Mar 19, 10:46
A jacket. -- nm - Qale Mar 19, 10:46 5
- Yup. Weather can change in the blink of an eye, not like in LA -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 10:55
- That's a given. :-) -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 10:48
- Heh. This -- nm - JD Mar 19, 10:47 2
  - that gets a heh, and my flower post gets ignored? - zork Mar 19, 10:50 1
    - The city is now all about startups and tech hipsters. ;) -- nm - JD Mar 19, 10:52

Re-enact Donald Sutherland's pod people scream at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers in front of City Hall. -- nm - Jovian Mar 19, 10:43 2
- nobody would notice nor get it with all the homeless and usual suspect protesters -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 19, 11:08
- well if he does that he has to do tour person's line from The Rock while at Alcatraz - Beaker Mar 19, 10:45
There's a duck boat tour that is different than the rest...it's billed as "the only tour that goes under AND over the Golden Gate Bridge. It's awesome -- nm - CrankYanker Mar 19, 10:43
I've never been, but some places I would love to see in my life: Golden Gate Bridge and park, the Presidio area and all those cool steep streets, and - Don Homer Mar 19, 10:43 3
- The Bridge, the park/Presidio and Lombard street are on the list to at least attempt to fit in. -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 10:44 2
  - If you make it to the Presido, the Walt Disney Famiky museum is there -- nm - JD Mar 19, 10:46 1
    - Family even -- nm - JD Mar 19, 10:48
Musee Mechanique, and the submarines down in Fisherman's Wharf -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 10:42 5
- Fisherman's Wharf is on the list. My daughter insists we visit Chinatown, anything we need to know about that? -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 10:43 4
  - No idea about there. You hop on the ferry to Alcatraz at like Pier 35 or so.....iirc the Wharf is like 39...and the Musee and sub are like Pier 46... -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 10:45 3
    - Good to know. Is there a great deal of distance between the piers? -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 10:46 2
      - Not between those, but be careful when judging walking distances more inland. Lots of steep hills. -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 11:31
      - Not exactly...you're going to walk a bit, but not NYC blocks distances. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 19, 10:49
Exploratorium, Academy of Sciences at Golden Gate Park (as well as the park in general) -- nm - JD Mar 19, 10:41
you are a big baseball fan right? Do they give tours of their stadium? Candlestick Park still there maybe? - Beaker Mar 19, 10:40 2
- Candlestick is way out of the way and football only these days. The area down by AT&T park is pretty cool and I'd recommend 21st Amendment Brewery - JD Mar 19, 10:44
- I am the furthest thing from a fan of baseball, but thank you for the suggestion. :-) -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 10:41
the tomb of the Unknown Hippie :)) -- nm - peglegpete Mar 19, 10:39
Musee Mecanique -- (link) - znufrii Mar 19, 10:38 5
- also the ghirardelli chocolate factory -- (link) - znufrii Mar 19, 10:45 3
  - This might win the wife's vote. :-) -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 10:47 2
    - It's handy because it's walking distance from Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39 -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 11:09
    - and if you're interested in getting out of the city to do any hiking, Muir Woods -- (link) - znufrii Mar 19, 10:51
- The laugh that auto loads on the URL is almost enough to nix that idea. :-) -- nm - TWuG Mar 19, 10:40
