Climb around the ruins, find the cave, if its low tide you can climb one of the big rocks in the surf
Huge Ginormously Beautiful Park. So much to do, to see - botanical gardens, dog parks, museums, gardens, bison, lovely cruising ride to the ocean, or anywhere in the city, esp on a Sunday - no cars.
While in the park, stop by the observatory tower for 360 views of San Francisco. It's free and normally not a line- though the line to the special exhibits might block the entryway.
The Japanese Tea Garden is over 100 years old and one of the most serene spots in the city.
Awesome, enormous sculpture piece by Andy Goldsworthy. Hike up to this after the Wood Line
strange, long, snaking art piece made of tree trunks. See if you can walk the whole thing
Interesting Goldsworthy piece inside a small structure in front of the Walt Disney museum
brunch here is insane. the mushroom eggs benny, the french toast, the bacon, the duck hash, the breakfast sandwich...
start with the cold soba noodles, my fav! curry soup or any roll then, its all so clean and good.
great ice cream—or just skip the line by buying a pint at the grocery store across the street
best park hands down. people watching on weekends and visits from the truffle guy.
delicious indian street food reinvented. a burrito full of indian food... yes please!
Great Burmese food. Standouts: platha and coconut chicken curry dip, shrimp Burmese curry with coconut rice, and of course the tea leaf salad.
Best Ramen house in the Mission, by a long shot. I pray for delivery come winter.
INCOMPARABLE Monday nights....MoTown Mondays mixed with hip hop samples -- nowhere else to go. Don't miss it. Done.
Communal tables, huge living wall, and culinary cocktails may be everything that's hip in San Francisco dining right now, but Maven is, above all, a great neighborhood restaurant. [Eater 38 Member]
The Burning Man art installation here is cool. Take a look through the diamond viewer. There's a really unique ice cream place a few steps away too.
An authentic outdoor German beer garden, serving 6 Germanic beers on tap by the liter and half-liter. Food'll include two bigger-than-at-Suppenkuche pretzel offerings. Mehr erfahren.
Incredible ambiance, and the attention to detail is superb. The fact that they installed exposed matte-finished hard wood on the ceilings says it all.
Iced Mint Mojito Coffee is the best! Indulge with a descrumptious spinach feta puff!
Dimly lit, sexy, hodgepodge of mid-century thrift store lamps, paintings, & furniture accented with shades of red. A strong small batch spirits selection.
Take a classic San Francisco picture with the Painted Ladies in the foreground and the tall buildings downtown in the background
Bet you never thought a crazy kitschy den of all things tiki could actually serve high-fructose-corn-syrup-free, all-natural drinks. This one can, and the cocktails hold up to the best in town.
If you're from the UK, don't even think of ordering tea in your hotel, cone here instead as they understand the importance of boiling water
The Ferry Building is very popular, and I recommend it to anyone who is visiting San Francisco. They've got great restaurants (Slanted Door, MarketBar) and a morning farmer's market a few times a week
Be prepared to wait for a table and then consume some of the freshest oysters around. Watching the pros shucking oysters is something magical.
Great local deli...I particularly love their salamis. They also have a lot of unique, European snack items.
Everything is good. Everything! Daily specials are clutch, so many epic curries. Friday coconut fish is my favorite. Or the lentil soup. Whatever you get, Anula made it and she's the best.
The ahi tuna salad is actually generously portioned and very filling. They also have an impressive drinks menu.
Check out the awesome antique mechanical games at Musee Mechanique. Also, killer vintage arcade games: Spy Hunter, Moon Patrol, Star Wars & Addams Family pinball rule.
Bring layers because it gets hot and cold very quickly between the sun and shade. Only the 4:30pm ferry goes back to the Ferry Bldg. All others only go to Pier 41.
SF: A real biker bar with heart. It’s the last bastion of the pre dot-com rebel/artist. Park benches on a dirt lot; it's like drinking in a junkyard and is one of SF's most loved hangouts. -IFC Staff
