Introduction Introduction S new to see and do no matter if it’s your ﬁ rst or ﬁ ftieth visit. Oh, and

bring a warm jacket: Bob Hope once remarked that San Francisco is the city of four seasons—every day.

Things to Do Consistently ranked as America’s Favorite City, San Francisco never ceases to entertain. Enjoy the cool blast of salty air as you stroll across the Golden Gate. Stuff yourself with dim sum in Chinatown. Browse the second- hand shops along Haight Street. Recite poetry in a North Beach coffeehouse. Stroll Ocean Beach, skate through Golden Gate Park, ride the cable cars to Fisherman’s Wharf, tour a Victorian mansion, explore Alcatraz Island, go to a Giants ball game—the list is endless. Shopping Oh baby, start polishing that credit card. Some of our favorites

THE BEST OF SAN FRANCISCO OF SAN THE BEST include strolling the hip boutiques in Hayes Valley, gourmet delicacies at the Ferry Building Marketplace, the wow factor of Union Square and West- fi eld San Francisco Centre, real vinyl at Amoeba Records on Haight Street, and the weird-to-wonderful shopping bazaar that is Chinatown. Nightlife & Entertainment It’s true: San Francisco sells more theater tickets per capita than any major city in America. We love to watch our recycled Broadway musicals at the A.C.T. and transgender tragedies at Theatre Rhinoceros. The San Francisco Symphony, Opera, and Ballet are three great reasons to dress up.

Alcatraz Island. The Best Only-in-San Francisco Experiences Sunday’s are a Drag (show) at Harry Denton's Starlight Room, while anything goes down at the Endup. Maceo Parker’s playing at Yoshi’s, Stanton Moore is at the Boom Boom Room, and Tainted Love is sold out at Bimbo's 365 Club. Let’s end the night with a Golden Gate Martini at Top of the Mark. Restaurants & Dining With more than 3,500 restaurants in San Francisco, you could eat at a different restaurant every night for 10 years and still not visit them all. Try Afghan, Burmese, Cambodian, Cajun, Moroccan, Persian, Ethiopian—or better yet, follow the street food craze at roaminghunger.com/ sf in search of Sam’s Chowdermobile, Chairman Bao, and Waffl e Mania food trucks. THE best ONLY-IN-SAN FRANCISCO EXPERIENCES W A Powell–Hyde Cable Car Ride: Skip the less-scenic California line and take the Powell–Hyde cable car down to Fisherman’s Wharf—the ride is worth the wait. When you reach the top of Nob Hill, grab the rail with one hand and hold your camera with the other, because you’re about to see a view of the bay that’ll make you all weepy. See p. 175. W An Adventure at Alcatraz: Even if you loathe tourist attractions, you’ll dig Alcatraz. Just looking at the Rock from across the bay is enough to give you the heebie-jeebies—and the park rangers have put together an excellent audio tour with narration by former inmates and guards. Heck, even the boat ride across the bay is worth the price. See p. 171. W A Walk or Bike Ride Across the Golden Gate Bridge: Don your wind- breaker and walking shoes and prepare for a wind-blasted, exhilarating jour- ney across San Francisco’s most famous landmark. It’s simply one of those things you have to do at least once in your life. See p. 182. W A Stroll Through Chinatown: Chinatown is a trip—about as close to experi- encing Asia as you can get without a passport. Skip the ersatz camera and luggage stores and head straight for the food markets, where a cornucopia of

Better yet, take one of Shirley Fong-Tor- res’s Wok Wiz tours of Chinatown (p. 220). W A San Francisco Giants Game at AT&T Park: If it’s baseball season, then you must spend an afternoon or evening watching the National League’s Giants at one of the fi n-

$10 you can buy a bleacher seat on the day of a game. Even if the season’s over, you can still take a guided tour of the stadium. See p. 174. The Ritz-Carlton lobby. THE best splurge HOTELS W The Ritz-Carlton, 600 Stockton St., Nob Hill (& 800/241-3333 or 415/296-7465; www.ritzcarlton.com), is the sine qua non of luxury hotels, offering near-perfect service and every possible amenity. Even if you can’t afford a guest room, come for the mind-blowing Sunday brunch. See p. 82. W Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco, 757 Market St., south of Market THE BEST OF SAN FRANCISCO OF SAN THE BEST Street (SoMa; & 800/819-5053 or 415/633-3000; www.fourseasons.com), is the perfect combination of opulence, hipness, and class. I can’t afford it either, but I sure love to hang out at the bar and pretend. See p. 83. W The Mandarin Oriental, 222 Sansome St., Financial District (& 800/622- 0404 or 415/276-9888; www.mandarinoriental.com/sanfrancisco), is perched so high above the city that the fog rolls in below you. Take in the view from your glass-wall bathtub. Maybe I really did die and go to heaven? See p. 90. W The St. Regis Hotel, 125 Third St., SoMa (& 877/787-3447 or 415/284- 4000; www.stregis.com/sanfrancisco), has these touch-screen remote con- trols that let you operate everything in your room—without leaving your bed. Add a destination restaurant and a fabulous two-fl oor spa, and why would you ever want to leave? See p. 86. THE best MODERATELY PRICED HOTELS W Laurel Inn, 444 Presidio Ave., Pacifi c Heights (& 800/552-8735 or 415/567-8467; www.thelaurelinn.com), may be off the beaten track, but it’s one of the best affordable, fashionable hotels in the city. Just outside of the southern entrance to the Presidio in the midst of residential Presidio Heights, it’s a chic motel with soothing, contemporary decor and equally calming prices. See p. 96.

The Best Dining Experiences

A room at the Hotel Union Square.

W The Hotel Bohème, 444 Columbus Ave., Nob Hill (& 415/433-9111; www.hotelboheme.com), is the perfect mixture of art, style, class, romance, and location—just steps from the sidewalk cafes of North Beach. If Bette Davis were alive today, this is where she’d stay. See p. 94. W Hotel Union Square, 114 Powell St., Union Square (& 415/397-3000; www.hotelunionsquare.com), is an updated classic in an ideal location. A $5-million renovation in 2008 melded contemporary elements with historical San Francisco features dating back to 1915. See p. 76. W Hotel Adagio, 550 Geary St., Union Square (& 800/228-8830 or 415/775- 5000; www.thehoteladagio.com), is far more chic and hip than its category counterparts. The 1929 Spanish Revival building has sexy streamlined rooms swathed in rich spice and earth tones. See p. 70. W The Golden Gate Hotel, 775 Bush St., Union Square (& 800/835-1118 or 415/392-3702; www.goldengatehotel.com), receives nothing but kudos from satisfi ed returning guests. Just 2 blocks from Union Square, this 1913 Edwardian hotel is a charmer and a fantastic value. See p. 78. THE best DINING EXPERIENCES W The Best of the City’s Fine Dining: La Folie, 2316 Polk St., Russian Hill (& 415/776-5577), has been the place to go for cuisine at its fi nest since 1988. Celebrity chef Roland Passot never fails to offer his guests a delightfully long, lavish meal. And then there’s Restaurant Gary Danko, 800 North Point St., Fisherman’s Wharf (& 415/749-2060; p. 139), always a sure bet for a perfect contemporary French meal complete with polished service and fl ambéed fi nales.

My dad doesn’t care much for visiting San Francisco (“Too crowded!”) but he loves having lunch at this beloved seafood institution. See p. 131. W Best Dining on Dungeness Crab: Eating fresh Dungeness crabmeat straight from Fisherman’s Wharf seafood vendors’ boiling pots at the corner of Jeffer- son and Taylor streets may be touristy, but it’s the quintessential San Fran- cisco experience. See p. 139. Locals are more apt to go to Swan Oyster Depot. See p. 131. W Best Dim Sum Feast: If you like Chinese food in bite-size portions, you’ll love dim sum. At Ton Kiang, 5821 Geary Blvd., the Richmond (& 415/387- The Best Dining Experiences Best The

8273; p. 169), you’ll be wowed by the variety of dumplings and mysterious

dishes. Don’t worry about the language barrier; just point at what looks good and it will be delivered. For downtown dim sum, the venerable Yank Sing, 101 Spear St. (& 415/957-9300; p. 123), offers an exotic edible surprise on every cart that’s wheeled to your table. W Best Breakfast: We have a tie: Dottie’s True Blue Café, 522 Jones St. (& 415/885-2767; p. 117), has taken the classic American breakfast to a new level—maybe the best I’ve ever had. Crummy neighborhood, superb food. Ella’s, 500 Presidio Ave. (& 415/441-5669; p. 145), is far more yup- pie, equally divine, and in a much better neighborhood, but it’s so popular that the wait on weekend mornings is brutal. W Best Funky Atmosphere: That’s an easy one: Tommy’s Joynt, 1101 Geary Blvd. (& 415/775-4216). The interior looks like a Buffalo Bill museum that

waitresses while Sinatra classics play to the festive crowd of contented diners. THE BEST OF SAN FRANCISCO Welcome to North Beach–style family dining at Capp’s Corner, 1600 Pow- ell St. (& 415/989-2589). See p. 136. W Best Surreal Dining Experience: This has to be sitting cross-legged on a pil- low, shoes off, smoking apricot tobacco out of a hookah, eating baba ghanouj, and drinking spiced wine in an exotic Middle Eastern setting while beautiful, sensuous belly dancers glide across the dining room. Unwind your mind at Kan Zaman, 1793 Haight St. (& 415/751-9656). See p. 165. W Best Wine Country Dining: If you’re a foodie, you already know that one of the top restaurants in the world, French Laundry, 6640 Washington St. 1 (& 707/944-2380; p. 362), is about 1 ⁄2 hours north of the city in the Wine Country’s tiny town of Yountville. Only die-hard diners need apply: You’ll need

to fi ght for a reservation 2 months in advance. A more relaxed alternative is

Terra, 1345 Railroad Ave., St. Helena (& 707/963-8931; p. 365), where award-winning chef Hiro Sone shows his culinary creativity and mastery of The Best Things to Do for Free (or Almost) French, Italian, and Japanese cuisine within a historic fi eldstone split dining room. THE best THINGS TO DO FOR FREE (OR ALMOST) W Meander Along the Marina’s Golden Gate Promenade and Crissy Field. There’s something about strolling the promenade that just feels right. The combination of beach, bay, boats, Golden Gate views, and clean, cool breezes is good for the soul. Don’t miss snacks at the Warming Hut. See p. 206. W Wake up with North Beach Coff ee. One of the most pleasurable smells of San Francisco is the aroma of roasted coffee beans wafting down Columbus Avenue in the early morning. Start the day with a cup of Viennese on a sidewalk table at Caffè Greco, 423 Columbus Ave. (& 415/397-6261), followed by a walk down Columbus Avenue to the bay. W Browse the Haight. Though the power of the fl ower has wilted, the Haight is still, more or less, the Haight: a sort of resting home for aging hippies, ex- Deadheads, skate punks, and an eclectic assortment of young panhandlers. Think of it as a people zoo as you walk down the rows of used-clothing stores, hip boutiques, and leather shops. End the tour with a pitcher of sangria and a plate of mussels at Cha Cha Cha (p. 164), one of my favorite restaurants that’s a bargain to boot. W Pretend to be a Guest at the Palace or Fairmont Hotels. You may not be staying the night, but you can certainly feel like a million bucks in the public spaces at the Palace Hotel (p. 85). The extravagant creation of banker “Bonanza King” Will Ralston in 1875, the Palace Hotel has one of the grand- est rooms in the city: the Garden Court, where you can have high tea under

Drinks aren’t cheap, but considering you’re not pay- ing for the view, it almost seems like a bargain. THE best OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES W A Day in Golden Gate Park: Exploring Golden Gate Park is an essential part of the San Francisco experience. Its arboreal paths stretch from the Haight all the way to Ocean Beach, offering dozens of fun things to do along the way.

The best time to go is Sunday, when main roads in the park are closed to traffi c (rent a bike for the full effect). Toward the end of the day, head west to the beach and watch the sunset. See p. 208. W A Walk Along the Coastal Trail: Stroll the forested Coastal Trail from Cliff House to the Golden Gate Bridge, and you’ll see why San Franciscans put up with living on a fault line. Start at the parking lot just above Cliff House and head north. On a clear day, you’ll have incredible views of the Marin Head- lands, but even on foggy days, it’s worth the trek to scamper over old bunkers and relish the cool, salty air (dress warmly). See “The Presidio & Golden Gate National Recreation Area,” beginning on p. 204, for more on this area.

W A Climb up or down the Filbert Street Steps: San Francisco is a city of stairways, and the crème de la crème of scenic steps is Filbert Street between Sansome Street and the east side of Telegraph Hill, where steep Filbert Street becomes Filbert Steps, a 377-stair descent that wends its way through fl ower gardens and some of the city’s oldest and most varied housing. It’s a beautiful walk down from Coit Tower, and great exercise going up.
