San Francisco?

I got a call from work on Saturday night, caught a flight and I am in San Francisco this morning.

I have a legitimate 4 hrs to work each day for the next 3 days but then I am on my own and available to explore the city. I've done all the tourist shit and bar hopping in SF in the umpteen times I've been here before.

What non tourists stuff do you recommend to do in SF? Any dining suggestions? Upscale, down home, local food and eateries are good? Any other suggestions?

You could tour the homeless encampments, just watch where you step.

Did you ever hang off the side of a cable car two inches away from a speeding car? That was a LOT of fun.

I've been up to the view longe at the Marriott many times. Great spot for some drinks and some music. Awesome view into different directions depending where you are in the bar.

with fine dining a lot of the places are 2 ppl minimal now and some require more advance notice like benu and atelier crenn.

you can mostly likely get something from lord stanley’s smaller weekday tasting and I think Saison may still have an outdoor tasting thats more approachable.

Check out the crookedest street in the world...NOT Lombard street...it's another street in the South part of the city that is way more crooked...Stinson Beach is beautiful...Muir Woods North of town about 15 miles...Mill Valley is beautiful...you can also drive the bridges...golden gate to I think I-580 around the North part of the bay...past san quentin...keep going...it meets the bay bridge...and back into the city...it's an amazing drive...

If you are interested in fine tequila or margaritas, Tommy's Mexican Restaurant is home to one of the foremost tequila experts in the USA.
His name is Julio, he's a great guy and very knowledgable on all things tequila. He and his family have been operating in the same location for over 50 years. Julio has been written up in articles worldwide.
The food is great there also. It's in a small place off the beaten path. A must visit if you know or want to know tradicionally made tequila.

Crookedest street in SF is: VERMONT ST. off of 22nd St.
7 switchbacks in half a block. Potrero District. East of Mission St...

Google stairways of Dan Francisco. Amazing tilework.
Murals all over the place.
