Things to do in SFO, by Jonny Wednesday on Apr 6, 2008 12:05:18 GMT 1, Hi All,
I'm off to SFO later this week for a few days - taking the missus. Other than the usual sightseeing (she's not been before). Are there recommendations for place to go, things to do, bars & restaurants?

Things to do in SFO, by Heavyconsumer on Apr 6, 2008 13:45:38 GMT 1, If you have time (and a car), take a short drive South, past Monterey along the coast to Carmel for an afternoon. Very small town (Clint Eastwood was mayor), very pretty and nice to have a wander round and generally high standard of places to have food or a drink (can't remember any names though - Sorry). It's also a very nice drive (views etc).

Things to do in SFO, by robertlondon on Apr 6, 2008 13:52:42 GMT 1, Have a walk around the Palace of Fine Arts - a park near the bridge.
From what I remember reading, it was originally built as the prelude to some great exhibition (which has long since vanished) and was meant to instill a feeling of sadness before people entered and viewed the art on display. It even has loads of terribly depressed women at the tops of its columns. It's stunning and sad. And wonderful. And unlike anything you'll see anywhere else.
... and of course check out Upper Playground/Fifty24SF at 220/252 Fillmore Street

Things to do in SFO, by Pure Evil on Apr 7, 2008 7:52:16 GMT 1, I lived there for 10 years... heres the breakdown///
111 Minna street .. theres an exhibition on by my budddy VULCAN... checkitout..
Upper Playground gallery on Fillmore st... they have the Lucy Mclachlan show right now.. its expensive.
White Walls gallery is great too.. its worth finding, I cant remember the address..
Luggage Store gallery on Market store is AWESOME... its one of the galleries that has the best history in SF
Pens and Needles store in the mission is brilliant and theres a space on the same block that works with mentally handicapped people... the art there is always cool.
Go and check out THRIFT TOWN in the mission, its a second hand store and they always have cool junk on the second floor.. also there are a lot of good pawn shops on the same street if you like looking at other peoples junk and keyboards.
foodwise I recommend an El Salavdorean place in the mission called La Rondalla , its amazing... try a big jug of Margarita... also Azteca at Church st between church and market, they have the best burritos.. I recommend the Azteca burrito with Mole sauce ( moh-lay )
graffiti wise ?? some of the BEST artists paint in the bay...
heres a piece behind the WARFIELD off Market st
and check out Clarion alley ..its amazing
and Bluxome alley off from Townsend
If you get tired of san francisco then jump on a bus and go to Marin.... get out to my old home Mill Valley and go for a walk up Mt Tamalpais.... its a huge mountain covered in redwood trees and it is beautiful...
If you have a car drive up to Point Reyes... its a massive desolate beach that stretches off for miles... its about my favourite place in the world....
too bad I am banned from returning... VISA shit.

Take the train - don't drive yourself. A lot of cops looking for drunk dirvers or get a limo for 200 a day and do some winery hopping.
