San Francisco
 

So we are leaving for San Jose tomorrow and we plan to spend one day in San Francisco. So far, all I have on my list is Alcatraz and Golden Gate...then I am out of stuff to see there.

Suggestions?

I guess we have to eat, so food suggestions are fine but I don't care too much about food. Really what I am looking for is stuff you cannot find anywhere else and is iconic to the city. I remember something about sourdough bread? :lol: See...I need help.

The only thing I know of to do not in San Francisco is to see the Winchester Mansion, so if you have suggestions for stuff around San Jose please let me know.

Thanks!

Lombard Street is neat to see.

DEFINITELY take a ride on the cable cars! When the operators yell at you to suck it in, they mean it. The cable cars pass VERY close to each other on the track.

Take one of the boat tours that takes you out into the Bay. When I did it, it took me under the Golden Gate and I got some amazing photos since it was close to sunset.

If you drive over the Golden Gate, it is a toll bridge, but only going southbound if I remember right. There is a pull off you can take to get some cool photos. North end of the bridge on the west side.

I enjoyed Fisherman's Warf too. Lots of neat people out there. I have a picture somewhere of a guy in a white suit playing a white piano that was stuffed in the back of his white pickup truck. LOL

Have some Rice a Roni

neat town

recreate the chase scene from bullit. A dodge magnum will actually catch air if you hit those jumps at over 40 mph

As already mentioned - Lombard Street (the most winding road in America, I believe).

The old schooners down by the piers are pretty neat to check out. It's interesting to tour the ships and see inside.

Fisherman's Wharf, also already mentioned.

If you want a great place to eat for breakfast, check out Sear's Fine Foods down at Union Square. Very neat atmosphere and really good food.

Visit Google and Apple, nerdom heaven

Go up on Skyline Blvd and go to Alice's Restaurant. It's a biker hangout (think Deals Gap) and has really awesome burger

Awesome contribution to the thread. You must be rewarded.

Last time a friend went, Alcatraz tix had to be booked a day in advance, so check that early. Miur Woods is north of SF and fairly close if you like big ass trees.
