Warning! Cyrus is invading San Francisco Oct 3 - 7

[cyrus buelton]

It is true.

I am visiting the land that I despise 

But seriously never been to San Francisco and looking forward to it.

I will be there for the annual AFP Conference, so days will be tight and I have a few early evening obligations.


What are the must see attractions of the city? (please don't tell me Oakland)
Cool bar district?

finally........


let's meet up........I am sure my company would gladly pay for fell motorhead's cocktails

Typically the last Thursday of the month, but if you post up in the MOB we often can rally up an additional ZG night for visitors.

We have a calendar thread, it doesn't have October yet but keep checking.

What kinda bars do you like?  Trendy or dive?  Funky cocktails or good beer or big wine selection?

What sort of attractions are you looking for?  Touristy type stuff?  Outdoor activities?  There's plenty to do.  Are you renting a car or relying on public transit / taxis?

I'll post up in that board as we get closer and I know my schedule better. I will have business functions I need to attend, which I am in the process of planning.


I prefer dive bars over trendy ones. Sure, I like a nice bar every now and then, but usually get more flavor of a city when you hit the dive bars. Not to mention, you don't pay an arm and a leg.

I mostly enjoy european beers and bourbon (spidey?).

As for attractions..............

yeah, I guess touristy is what I would do. Obviously want to see Fisherman's Wharf, the houses from Full House, the golden gate bridge, Haight and Ashbury, and whatever else there is. I won't have time for any museums.


I would like a kick ass sushi place...........price is no concern as company is picking up that one 



It looks like I am staying at the Hotel Palomar. Looks nice and is close to Macone Convention center

[Grampa]

stay till the 11th.... ldd is happening and I'll be up there for that

[cyrus buelton]

wish I could, but have to come back.


I just got mad at my company and decided to upgrade my hotel:


Intercontinental San Francisco it is.

Lots of places to go, my personal preference for dive bars is the Mission District (where ZG is).

If you have time, I highly recommend Alcatraz.  You might have to get tickets a day or two in advance.
Fall is the best time of weather so hopefully you will luck out with no fog for the GG bridge.  There are places you can get a cheap bicycle rental and ride across the bridge and back. 
The cable cars are a fun touristy thing to check out.
Also go up to Coit Tower and check out the views (assuming a clear day).
While you are over by Fisherman's Wharf stop by Ghirardelli square.
I like the Ferry building, it's like a big somewhat upscale farmers market.

Send a PM to RobsS4R, he is a sushi connoisseur.

Nate - I can't see the picture, will have to wait til I get home. Stupid Firewal.



Somegirl - Thanks for the advice  I PMed Rob about sushi joints.




Generally speaking, is SF safe to walk around at night?
