- The Westin Hotel in Union Square has a glass elevator, and if you successfully infiltrate pass the concierge desk without being asked anything, jump in and go all the way up- the views are spectacular (and free)!
- Restaurants we went to:
- a small, Cassis-like restaurant serving local food called Fish & Farm (in the Mark Twain hotel). Great food and very intimate- just be careful about roaming around the area at night as it's close to the Tenderloin district, which gets sketchy, especially at night.
- The restaurant and highlight of Fisherman's Wharf Otherwise a tourist trap) was called Scoma's, which is locally owned and the owner has not sold out to big chain restaurants.
- In China Town: R&G Lounge (reservations recommended)
- The Golden Gate bridge was something to behold - the walk there from Fisherman's Wharf through Chrissy fields was a highlight, passing many dog walkers - the dogs we the happiest of all creatures!
- Dress and bring many layers! During our 5 days the pattern was the same: fog in the morning and very cool, lifted in the early afternoon with sunny periods warming up, with fog returning by early evening and cooling off again. I found I was constantly adding and removing layers of clothes in what seemed to be pockets of warm and cool air.
- We walked to Lombard street (one of the most crookedest streets in the world) after walking up Telegraph Hill and visiting Coit Tower.
- The evening tour of Alcatraz was a good choice in terms of when to do it.
- We stayed at Parc 55 Hotel in Union Square which was comfortable and a great location.
