JFC, Fisherman's Wharf?

I would never go back

Was there in the early '70s on the Maddox

Snake

Kuletos on Powell for Italian. If you have a car, Gorilla BBQ in Pacifica on highway one is the best in the area.

Can't go wrong taking the ferry to Sausalito or Tiburon either. These high end communities have some great restaurants.

Kuletos is good..

I know what I wouldn't eat

I enjoyed touring Alcatraz - I wish I had studied up on a bit more before I did though.

I'm not sure how it is now but they pretty much gave us run of the place except for the roped off areas. You just had to make sure you were on the last boat going out or they got pretty nasty with you.

I got a bread bowl at Fisherman's wharf. All I really remember is getting scammed into paying $35 for parking and being pissed off about it the rest of the day.

For desert, if you find a Double Rainbow ice cream shop, you'll want to give it a go. Best Ice Cream I've ever had.

I actually didn't want to get dragged out to The Rock by my wife and kids, thought it was a tourist trap, but ended up enjoying it a lot. Also enjoyed the bloody mary on the ferry boat - suprisingly good.. Then took the ferry up to tiburon and ate at Sam's Anchor on the deck. And had some Anchor Steam's on tap..

Warm fall day, a million sailboats on the bay, all in all, it was an awesome day.

If you want to visit Alcatraz, make your reservation in advance. Last couple times we've been in the city we didn't make reservations and the trips were already sold out.

Walking or driving across the Golden Gate Bridge is worth it, just avoid the commuting hours.

I don't recall exactly where we were, but we were driving through a very high rent district that happened to have beach access. Great spot to catch a sunset.

Theres just so many resturants in the city. All price points and all food types.I would stay away from fishermans Warf and the Tenderloin . Valencia st "the mission" is door to door resturants now. Someone mentioned the lower Haight but since drinking is out go elsewhere. Swanns Oyster Depot on Polk is great. Old style and cash only.
I work for SF Opera at the War Memorial Opera House in Civic Center. Theaters are closed on mondays . My son is 30 lives in the city and will ask him after 6 when he's off work.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. We had a whirl-wind day on Monday. We flew in at 8, went to Haight street (disgusting but interesting), went to China town and had lunch, went across the bridge to the headlands, then drove back to Mountain View the long way through half moon bay.

Now I'm just working so I won't be doing anymore touring.
