San Francisco Vacation Recommendations?

[Krasevayadancer]

Hello to all!

I am planning a vacation to San francisco and was wondering if you ladies could give me the 411 on where to stay, what to see, etc etc. I am planning on going the third week in april.

Any help would be appreciated

Hey! That's great you're visiting the Bay Area, there is a lot to see around S.F.

Where to stay? Are you looking for high end? Around the main shopping area (ie Gucci, H&M, Tiffany, Macys etc)?
I would recommend The Fairmont hotel (pricey). It's a lovely hotel that over looks the bay.

Where to go?
1. Fisherman's Warf
2. Lombard Street
3. Golden Gate Bridge (even though it's not golden lol)
4. Coit Tower
5. Twin Peeks (over looks Bay Area/Downtown) I really recommend this place especially on a sunny day
6. Alcatraz Island (purchase tickets before hand)
7. Union Square (shopping area. They have a variety of things here high end and average)
8. China Town
9. MAC Pro Store. LOL

Are you interested in any bars?
They have a great one in S.F. called Asia S.F. It's a bar with transgender performers. There is a dance club inside, they serve great food, and they lip synching. BTW the people who work there are so beautiful!

hm.. that's really what I can think of right now.

Are you planning to travel around the area? Or mainly in S.F.?

Need info on what to wear? LOL I'm telling you it get COLD here.

Need more info? Feel free to message me. I hope this helps!

Some good eats to check out: The Stinking Rose, Cha Cha Chas (Sangria!), & hella eateries (and wine tasting) in the Ferry Building.

Sir Frances Drake is a good place to stay. its in union square...where the 20 -story department stores are. the element lounge is a fun place on a saturday night. pier 39 is a must-see...

Thanks for the great suggestions ladies. Neither I or my friend drive. Will it will be difficult to get around?

No, not at all! There are many ways to get around S.F.!

1. BART
2. Cable Car (A must if you're going around S.F.)
3. Taxi

BART doesn't get you to a lot of places that patty0411 mention. its best to take cable car or MUNI. these are the stops that BART stops at within SF: Balboa Park, Glen Park, 24th & Mission, 16th & Mission, Civic Center, Powell St., Montgomery St., and Embarcadero. Tourists don't take BART. Only if you are heading to the airport or heading from the airport to SF.

Stay at the St. Regis Hotel. It's located on 3rd St. & Mission St. Just a block down from Market St. I'm not sure if they have any rooms available when you arrive in SF but all I know that they don't have any rooms for the week of April 6th.

I stayed at the Hilton(I think?) I loved it! It was one of the most comfortable hotel beds ever, haha. My fave things are china town, union square, and the wharf. Its a really fun city.

Why don't you stop by Seattle while you are in CA!?!

Fisherman's Wharf (for sure), Flower District (I think it is called Lombard St.), and the Farmer's Market if it is still open.

Have fun!!!!!!!!
