Sup, /trv/?

Headed to San Fransisco in two weeks. Any suggestions on things I absolutely have to do while in town? More interested in the local flair than the touristy Alcatraz stuff.

What are your recommendations for good places to eat/shop/look at cool things?

SF is pretty lame, dude.

Most of the seafood places on the shore are pretty damn good, even if you hate seafood.

I went there. The one building with all the technology stuff... I think it's the Sony building, but might be something else, I can't remember.

Alcatraz was kinda neat, but what I liked most was the outside parts with the plants overgrowing the ruins left over from a fire. So, take that for what it's worth.

Otherwise... I dunno, the usual large city attractions.

I work right by Pier 39 and can see Alcatraz from our office. So yeah, definitely head to the piers. Also, pray for the sun, because we don't get it very often around these parts. Disregard that it's summer where you're from; we have no seasons.

If you're old enough to drink, heading out to the Fillmore area in the Marina is always a decent enough time - on Fri-Sat nights, anyways. Lots of bars and things around and better people than the usual SF fare.

The Metreon? Formerly of Sony, but not anymore?

It's been six years since I was down there but...
Japantown and Chinatown are good places to eat, but unless you're an otaku there isn't much else to do. Unless you want to try to find Lo Pan. The Presidio is nice for a good walk, and the airport is great for planespotting (although the variety isn't as good as LAX). The shopping is pretty good, most of your general designer brands are around. FCUK is fine too.

Also watch for crazy drivers- my sister was down there a few months ago, and when she was driving our aunt's Prius, our aunt apparently thought she was crazy for stopping at every stop sign. Goddamn California driving with California Stopping.

walk or bike across the golden gate bridge, visit coit tower, get drunk and eat burritos in the mission, wander around in golden gate park, walk along the embarcadero.

metreon sucks, pier 39 sucks, alcatraz sucks, fisherman's wharf is okay but expensive, ghirardelli is okay but expensive, chinatown sucks.
