...this place was "up-scale-ish" and seemed to be a lot more reasonably priced when I was there for the Emerald Bowl a couple of years ago: http://www.hotelnikkosf.com/
I disagree. I did the Alcatraz tour about three years ago and thought it was one of the better tourist attractions I've ever seen. The audio tour included testimonials from actual convicts from the prison. I guess if you've been in prison before or have toured one before, it ain't that hot. But me and the wife had a good time.
yeah, $170...not too bad. seems like a good location central to everything???? 50 bucks to park a car? wtf.
Check out www.sterngrove.org. There are great free concerts in Stern Grove in Golden Gate Park throughout the summer.
anyone know about the de Young museum? I see they have the king tut exhibit there..i missed it in LA.
Best taqueria / tacos: Taqueria San Jose at 24th and Mission Chinese: House of Nanking or Hunan Coffee: Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store Cafe
Nice. I just remember, I have to try a Mission-style burrito! I think I have been to House of Nanking.
Go to Cancun for your Mission burrito. http://www.yelp.com/biz/taqueria-cancun-san-francisco-2 Lyrics Born is performing tomorrow at Stern Grove. http://www.sterngrove.org/bio_lyricsborn.html
booked @ the Hyatt in Union Square. Gonna have some weed if anyone wants to blaze up and drink on Sunday night somewhere. any other suggestions? Looking at the Swan Oyster Depot for Monday lunch.
I was actually pretty disappointed with the King Tut exhibition in SF. It was interesting, but not as amazing as I was expecting. I guess I just set my expectations too high.
well, if I go I'll be high..so that might be better! I missed it when it was in LA......liked the one in expo86
SF was dope, ended up @ the Hyatt, great view from the room: ate at Nanking, which was awesome..they take chinese dishes and then add a few more fresh ingredients to them...had the sesame chicken (with sweet potato), sizzling rice soup (some of the best I've had...usually bland but this had lemongrass and shit), fried calimari (awesome, swimming in a vinegar sauce) and some bok choy. long line. : ate at Swan Oyster Depot, which was amazin. lines too. awesome sashimi dish..raw scallops were like butter..so good. hit up Union Square, walked up to Coit Tower, went to the top....met up high school friends, walked around chilled in North Beach, hit up Giordano Brothers which is like the Primanti Bros. in Pittsburg.... the city is awesome....gonna definitely go back. oh yeah, also watched the Carano vs. Cyborg fight cyborg kicked her ass, she was at the same hotel as us, I got to pat her on the back..haha...no Carano in sight though.
oh yeah, saw Derek Jeter just walking down the street, he was chatting about his chicks or something.
