They also have a couple other galleries in SF (one is called the Shooting Gallery), but the flagship gallery hosted Eine and ROA in the last 6 months or so, and Eine left a bunch of shutterfront letters and a few full-blown street pieces in the area. Plus (not sure how many are still left, but...) Banksy hit SF last year for his film promo tour. www.whitewallssf.com/

If you want really good tacos, however, you're going to have to go to Oakland and hit the taco trucks on International Blvd.

There is a really cool guy in the area that has a junk shop in a tent  and you can buy subway signs super cheap.
And if you have never been there, the Guggenheim is a must see for the building alone!! I mean come on, they filmed a scene of Men in Black there

of tips for US trip (SFO and NYC), by boaty on May 31, 2011 23:38:29 GMT 1, go to NYC: pick a fight with a cab driver (you must get in at least 2 f**k you's while standing outside the cab to have a chance at winning the fight); ride the trains across each borough; walk a bridge (brooklyn preferred); get a slice of pizza; talk to strangers; do some tourist stuff; but most importantly - people watch...
go to SF: spend loads of time talking to the homeless...
