a fabulous trip to fabulous san francisco by a first-time visitor!

the city by the bay!

Overview

Incredible seafood dining, Golden Gate Park, cable cars and Union Square, Italian restaurants in North Beach and along the Embarcadero!

Quick Tips:

Best Way To Get Around:

We relied on walking and taxis, but taxis are rare and hard to come by, especially if you're used to the availability of cabs in New York City.

Hotel Monaco

what a gorge hotel! we stayed in a deluxe suite, what exquisite decor and incredible bathrooms, about the size of a hotel room themselves with huge jacuzzis. the decor is incredible and very posh. the best part? daily complimentary wine and cheese in the lobby, complete with a tarot card reader and a masseuse!

Plouf

Restaurant

Plouf

incredible french seafood (plouf means splash in french-) open-air dining served by true french waiters. the food was so good, that the tres french service didn't bother us -we didn't even care that our entrees came before the appetizers and the wine! you eat either inside or out amoung diners al fresco from the surrounding restaurants. a must see!

Waterfront Restaurant

Restaurant

The Waterfront

this place is GREAT- lovely views of the water and incredible food. it's not as chic and as much of a "scene" as some other places like Farallon, but the food is right up there with the best restaurants in the bay area.
