San Francisco Monkeys
- Thread starter Ridemonkey
- Start date
I just want to say that I've been there twice the last two years and I love it there. All I do is walk around, eat, and drink beer though.
That's pretty much what I have in mind.I Are Baboon said:

Of course you probably shouldn't go there if you plan on getting a date later.

I'm passing on my SF trip this year.
That week butts up against another conference I want to attend and I can't be gone for two weeks in a row attending conferences. Hey geckomonkeyride, why you goin' to SF?
I ate there and it's worth a try. It's a bit of a hectic tourist trap, but the food was good. You want to get a booth though because the main dining area is insanely crowded.Sorgie said:My wife says this place is great.

BTW RM, I took a day trip to wine country and loved it.
No reason in particular. Haven't been, heard it's a cool place.I Are Baboon said:
This is kinda exciting, I haven't been a "tourist" in a lonnngg time.
It's all free time, and the sky is the limit for a good meal.
Definitely up for grabbing a beer. Haven't decided if I'm going to take my laptop with me yet (trying to leave work behind), so I should grab your number before I head out or something.

I hear that Alcatraz tour is pretty cool, but I have not gone on it. I'm afraid they'll lock me up. 
Hey RM, what hotel you stayin' in?
tenderloin.
gecko, there are so many good restaurants in the SF area...

I can eat 6-12 meals a day, so I'll hit as many as possible.narlus said:tenderloin.

Good question....I'll have to look at my itinerary, which isn't with me here.I Are Baboon said:
oh, and rent a bike and pedal over the bridge into marin. nothing too challenging, but some nice scenery. if you get up to stinson beach (i think), there's a bit of singletrack nearby.
do a hike in muir woods too.
and bring back a mixed case of wine w/ you.

Wouldn't want to encroach on your hotspot.stosh said:
I'd make it a point to attend a SF Giants game. I see they're at home all next week. It's one of the nicer baseball stadiums I've been to, and I've been to a bunch. The view from up high on the 1st base side is beautiful.
Then again, if you don't like baseball you'd probably be wasting your money (Giants tix are not cheap).

If you have access to a bike, ride the bridge and cruise along the bike trail into Sausalito.
I thought about that actually. I'm not a big baseball fan...but this is freakin' Canada...I'm thinking it might be a little more fun watching in an American stadium...you know...where there are like "fans".I Are Baboon said:

I really want to post something both socially and racially sensitive, but for once I am thinking better of it. 
Cha Cha Cha.
And that African place with the maragritas made out of that weird fruit. Damn it I can't remember it. My wife went on suggestion of someone here and LOVED it.
Rose's cafe is a cool little place with good food.
And we normally stay at the Nob Hill Lambourne.

I believe the Giants have the 2nd highest % capacity attendance in MLB (only behind the Red Sox), so there is always a good crowd there. No doubt it's more fun to see a game when the stands are packed. I went to an Oakland game last year and the place was EMPTY.Ridemonkey said:
Yeah...as it turns out I've had plans made for me that I wasn't aware of, so I'm really only going to be in downtown SF Wednesday night...was hoping to be there longer, but them's the breaks.
I thought the Alcatraz tour was really cool,
mainly because it gives you the best view of the city.
I had a great trip there. All I did was walk around the fisherman's wharf eating chilli in sourdough breadbowls and eating their fresh huge azz fruit.
I got engaged to my wife there so maybe that is where all the good memories come from, but I really liked that town.
