San Francisco

[I. Hustle]

Going to be there next month. For those of you in the area or who have frequented, what are some cool things to do *no homo*. I am going to be at the Spurs game so I will be "that guy" in the visiting teams colors. I'll more than likely only be there for 2-3 days. What is something that I HAVE to do while I am there? *again no homo*

[mrsmaalox]

You have to bring me a bag of dark chocolate sea salt and caramel squares from Ghirardelli.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Get out of Oakland after the game and don't go back.

Drive up to the Muir Woods. The overlook is breathtaking

[CubanMustGo]

Go to Sonoma (not the much more commercialized Napa). Great wine, good food. Not the best time of year to tour the vineyards but the wine's still good.

A drive down Highway 1 to Big Sur is great if you have the time.

[bus driver]

Go to the Castro, you will love it.

[silverblk mystix]

+1 on Muir Woods

and if you go there stop for a meal at the Mountain Home Inn in Mill Valley (I believe the dining room is open to guests on the weekends) and enjoy a great meal, great ambience, view and even a hike on Mt. Tam if you are energetic.

Can't you buy that shit at HEB woman?! Why are you so difficult??!!

[DeadlyDynasty]

No, its just a shithole

[I. Hustle]

I thought Muir woods was a set up and something like Zilker park in Austin but that shit is breathtaking.

[I. Hustle]

No, its just a shithole

Oh, that makes sense. I don't even plan on driving. I figured we'd take a cab. Or is it cool to take the BART?

[CuckingFunt]

Exploratorium!!

Get some good Mexican food in the Mission district.

If you're at all interested in museums, the de Young is fantastic. As is SF MoMA. And I've heard amazing things about the new(ish) California Academy of Sciences (walking distance to the de Young and other GG Park attractions), though it has always been too crowded to bother when I've tried to go.

And, even though this is the exact opposite of my advice in just about any other city that I love, do all of the touristy shit. Do Fisherman's Warf (but skip gawdawful Pier 39), go to Ghirardelli, go to the Presidio, ride a Cable Car, go to Chinatown for Dim Sum, go to Twin Peaks, check out Lombard Street, look at the Painted Ladies (the houses, not the drag queens, though the latter is also fun), ride a ferry, go to Alcatraz, go to Sausalito, go to Golden Gate Park, go across the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County and check out Muir Woods/Stinson Beach, hike around the Marin Headlands, and so forth. When you're in a place that beautiful, it's kind of hard to go wrong.

Thanks. I will try and fit in as much as possible. *no homo*

BART is fantastic. The ferries are fantastic. Cable Cars, despite being obscenely overpriced and crowded, are one of the best ways to get around parts of the city. However, MUNI buses are horrible. As long as you plan your route/day in advance so that you know where you're going and roughly how you're going to get there and back, San Francisco is one of those cities where I would ALWAYS advise walking/public transportation over cabs. BART is also great if you want to head over to Berkeley or Oakland for the day.

If you want to head across in the other direction, however, I would suggest renting a car even if it's just for one or two days out of your trip. The ferry is great if you want to go to Sausalito for a few hours, but if you want to spend any time elsewhere in Marin County (or to go to Muir Woods as everyone has suggested), they have a completely different public transportation system that isn't as user friendly, so you'll be limited in where you can go and will likely burn a lot of time sitting around at bus stops. Taking a cab across the GG would also be crazy expensive.

[I. Hustle]

The reason we are going is because I am taking the wifey to go visit her brother who lives there and is going to culinary school there. We also have a couple of friends there so I am going to try to hit them up for either a vehicle *no cheapskate*. Since we are only there for a couple of days I am going to try and do as much as possible.

[baseline bum]

The California Academy of Sciences museum sucked. A Foucault pendulum and a short movie in the planetarium were the extent of the physics related displays in the place and half the exhibits I felt like I was getting preached to about global warming. Walking the Golden Gate is pretty nice if you're not a 400 lb cholo who runs out of breath after walking 10 feet, as you get some really cool views of downtown peeking out through the clouds every once in a while.

Yeah, my wife wants to do that so it's a must.

[I. Hustle]

So we are going to be staying in the financial district.

[leemajors]

Stop in at 21st Amendment brewing, good stuff. Toronado is also a great pub to visit:

http://www.toronado.com/

Healdsburg is also not far and has the Armstrong Redwoods close by, less crowded than Muir can get.

[Sportcamper]

I have not been to SF in years so I don’t know what is currently trendy…The seafood in SF with its Sicilian influence is incredible…It is fun to just walk around on Fisherman’s Warf …Drop in a nightclub for a beer…Your friends must know some good places…Alioto’s restaurant has some decadent seafood dishes…

My advice for going to San Francisco? Don't go to San Francisco. With all the homosexuals there it is highly probable that you will catch some sort of disease from either eating food prepared by them, staying in a hotel or just your every day contact with them while there. It's a pity that a city so rich in history and with such great architecture has been defiled by those that choose to live that lifestyle.

What are the best mexican places you know?

I eat at Los coyotes pretty regularly, the california burrito is pretty good. I tried Tacolicious, it was okay but it's very expensive.
little chihuahua just opened so I'll try them out as well. Am I missing any places?

[I. Hustle]

So eat Mexican food there? You do know that I live in SA right? We are going to be staying in the financial district so I was hoping to hit up Chinatown and such.

There's a place right on Mission St., next to the 24th St. BART station, called La Taqueria that I've loved since I was a kid. However, due to logistical reasons it's been probably close to a decade since I've had a chance to really explore new places or reassess old favorites (the carnitas at La Taqueria were still good last time I ate there, but that was over four years ago) that I feel more comfortable recommending the neighborhood as a whole than I do any one place.


So eat Mexican food there? You do know that I live in SA right?

Entirely personal opinion, of course, but California Mexican > Tex Mex. And in general, good Mexican > just about everything else.

[I. Hustle]

Oh I understand that there are differences between Cali Mex and Tex Mex. I get that, but if I am going to try something then I would try some of the Asian food or Italian. There isn't really a good place for either of those two here.
I might try some Cali Mex food but I am completely biased. I like the real deal Mex food so I agree with you there too.

Well, you'll be close to both Chinatown and North Beach, so you'll have plenty of nearby options for good Chinese and Italian.

Also, if your interest in Asian goes beyond just Chinese, I would recommend a jaunt over to Japantown. In fact, one of the things I meant to suggest in my first post was that you check out the Japan Center. It's awesome. And chaotic. And bizarre. And awesome because it's chaotic and bizarre. It's basically a giant Japanese themed mall that just so happens to have several really good sushi and teppanyaki restaurants inside. It's also where I first discovered one of my most favorite inventions: a gelato crepe.

[leemajors]

Cali mexican is foul imo.

[symple19]

Perbacco http://www.yelp.com/biz/perbacco-san-francisco is my favorite Italian place in the city. It's a bit upscale, but well worth it. (Probably need to make reservations way in advance)

Avoid driving if you can help it. BART is awesome and parking is a nightmare to find.

CF nailed most of the touristy things, but two I would add are the Cable Car museum on Nob Hill as well as the Presidio (Which can be easily integrated with a Golden Gate walk)

Sonoma>Napa>Marin

Oaktown has a lot of shitty areas (around Oracle e.g.) but Jack London Square is awesome. Tons of places to eat.

I love just walking in SF moreso than any other city. The weather is cool, the architecture is nice, the hills are fun to walk up, and yeah, you don't have to look forever to find somewhere to park.

[mFFL03]

watch a west coast sunset. walk the streets and neighborhoods,but stay out of the tenderloin. see the Japanese tea garden. ride the cable cars. go to Sausalito for a spectacular view. use public transportation. visit Chinatown. drink some absinthe. people watch. see the financial district. eat on a sidewalk. find good sushi or seafood. Oh and stay out of the tenderloin district.

[manustarting2gd]

Have a drink at the Top of the Mark and enjoy the whole city view.

[I. Hustle]

So I was going to get a pair of SPurs tix but the wife didn't want to be on a schedule while there. Since I am doing this for her for Vday I went along with it. Doesn't mean I can't still look on Craigslist for tix.

2 lower level tickets for WARRIORS vs. San Antonio Spurs on 4/15/13 (Last game of the season and check out the stars like Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Stephen Jackson, Boris Diaw, DeJuan Blair, Danny Green)

My brother in law (reason we are going) makes a dessert with a salted caramel sauce that kicks ace. He is in culinary school there.

make sure you take along some cigarettes to give out. I heard everyone there loves to have a fag in his mouth.
Also, it seems like they prefer brands from Poland. Lots of Pole smokers I hear.

like i said before, i am not into your perverted lifestyle and i'd appreciate it if you'd stop trying to flirt with me. take your fruity ass elsewhere!

ps: being an incel would mean i don't sleep with a woman nightly(which i do), am a virgin(that's a req. right? well sorry to burst your bubble...), hate women or at least am bitter about them(i love women... i hate how they drive though lol), etc... none of those apply to me so keep trying cuck!

Was in Austin all weekend for a bachelor's. Mayne that shit is hot.

- de Young museum/Legion of Honor is pretty dope. That entire area is nice for a stroll and a picnic
- Oracle Park is a nice ass stadium even if you're not into baseball. Tix are cheap too
- Head to Oakland if you can. Getting gentrified af but a nice mix of restaurants and shops and more diversity (downtown, Jack London Square, Lake Merritt)
- Dispensaries aren't as bad (and expensive) as people say. Can find some good stuff at Green Door, Bloom Room ($25 8ths deals) and Barbary Coast if you're selective.

My guy! I hope the bachelor weekend was a vibe.

Appreciate the suggestions. I'm definitely planning on checking out Oakland and Napa valley as well. Any suggestions for that?

Is Chinatown worth visiting?

As far as the weed goes, I only need an 8th. I'm not a big smoker and just want to visit some dispensaries and smoke on something at the park.

Still recovering from the weekend, and gotta fly out to LA for work tomorrow :lol

- Chinatown gets packed on the weekend with Tourists. Nothing I haven't seen in Toronto but maybe worth it if you have extra time
- Oakland: check out places I mentioned above, otherwise just walk around the core, there should be many good places to eat/drink
- Napa: Francis Ford Coppola Winery, Castello di Amorosa for wine
