Default In SFO for two weeks... What to do?

Here for two weeks. Saw lots of water on my way in. Aside from spending too much on sushi right now what is there to do?

The W hotel lobby/bar is always hopping.

Plan your trip to the GG accordingly with weather. It's useless if there is fog. There is a park you can pull over and take pictures and take it all in, just on the far side, on the right. You can park and walk the bridge as well.

http://rubyskye.com/ is my favorite club there.

Ride the street car down to http://www.fishermanswharf.org/ and the turnaround. The area is always bustling. Watching the street cars turnaround is pretty cool for a bit.

http://www.palomino.com/ is probably my favorite restaurant in the area. I've taken many clients there and it's always superb.

If you want to tour Alcatraz, schedule it now cause it usually sells out around 2 weeks in advance.

Cross the Golden Gate and have a margarita in Sausalito. While on that side go up to battery spencer, the views are incredible from there. Have breakfast at the Cliffhouse and take a drive down the coast towards Halfmoon bay and Santa Cruz.

Ok I will admit..been a few years since riding the bart..like many things of good intention, probably got dangerous. Skip the bart. Good call on Sausalito.

North Beach for good italian food. Dont forget Lombard Street..good photo op.

Do all the above & then have lunch at Sam's...I think you'll have to go to Santa Clara next year to see the Niners .
