Headed to San Francisco the last week of January. Advice? - Lateral-g Forums

Staying in the financial district. Headed out for work, but staying over for about 4 days of shenanigans. I don't think I can talk the wife into a tour of Brizio's, but who knows. Advice from anybody is welcome. I love brew pubs and am somewhat of a foodie!

Thanks,

Darren

yeah what he said!

As far as beer is considered, La Trappe is near where you're staying and has a fantastic selection.

Exactly the place I am looking for! Is the real touristy stuff worth doing? I think I have to see Alcatraz....

If you are a foody you should go to the Ferry building on the Embarcadero on Sat morning. Lots of food vendors at a great farmers market.

Some of it is and some of it isn't. Alcatraz is killer no matter where you live. Highly recommend that. Stay away from Pier 39 and some of the uber touristy crap... nothing to see there.

What kind of food do you like / wanna try?

Agreed. Aside from the touristy type places there's Franchino on Columbus JNO Broadway, great Italian food! Or if you want some mexican food there's Don Pisto's on Union JWO Grant. There is so so much more in just that small section of Frisco. Don't know if you're into art or history but there are other recommendations I could make.
