Tom, everybody will be rollin back into town from havasu on sunday night/monday. I'd be glad to take you out for a blast except I'm working all week after we get back from the poker run.
Magnuman is right you should stay somewhere near Hollywood beverly hills area. You should check out Sunset, and Hollywood blvds...manns Chinese and all of that. Since it's not the weekend the clubs wont be jumpin but theres still good stuff to check out. You can also roll up to Universal city walk, check that out and actually go into universal studios if you so desire. Theres also the regular stuff like Disneyland/california adventures, Knotts berry farm, MagicMountain. Check out Beverly hills, go by Symbolic Motors, they have a very nice selection of exotic vehicles. Platnum motors also just opened a shop up off of Rodeo (they are the North american distributers for Lomborghini) then theres Rodeo to check out.
You can also roll down to LongBeach and or Newport Harbors and check out the SCOPE guys stomping ground Visit the Yardhouse, woodies, hooters....You are sure to run into someone with an offshore boat around there. Theres also the Queen Mary in LongBeach.
Just one comment, the Norskog Marine center is now up here where I live in Oxnard California (about an hour north of L.A. and on your way to San Fran.) You could go by there and check it out, it is very cool from what I'm told. You can also swing by the Power boat Mag headquarters here in Ventura (neighboring city of Oxnard) I can let Brett Becker the editor know you are swinging by if you are interested. He'll give you the down and dirty tour of the H.Q. and he's good to B.S. with about boats, the mag. and what not.
If you need anything else let me know. Sorry it was so long....Theres alot to do here and I just barely scratched the surface!

In order of preference.

Prescott Hotel (415) 563-0303
The Mandarin (415) 885-0999

I hope you are staying at MacArthur Place is Sonoma, if not you should go to their retaurant, Saddles.
Retaurants in San Francsico: Reservations are a must at all of these restaurants.

Redwood Park
Postrio (inside the Prescott Hotel)
Boulevard
LuLu
House of Prime Rib (For the steak fix)
Let me know if you need any further help.
P.S. I used to be your neighbor when I lived in N.Y. I had a home in Port Washington.

TomFTM,
Hi there.......we're back! Well, it looks like J.O. will be coming out the weekend of April 26th. The boat should be done (hopefully)by then as well. Florida was awesome! As always of course. That Outerlimits is the bomb! Mike makes a truly impressive product. A great time was definitely had by all.
As for the Stellings, do you know of a pair of blacks with a 12 degree rise? I do need another set again. Thank you for thinking of it. Please let me know.
Cheers,
Anna
