The San Francisco Giants are making headlines these days after
winning the World Series, but the west coast metropolis they call home caters
to more than the baseball fanatic.
Rivaling New York City culturally and in culinary options, San Francisco
is home to neighborhoods full of great restaurants, shops, museums, and other
sightseeing attractions. So we asked
the S&B office what their favorite spots in San
Francisco are and here’s what we found…
Favorite Restaurants: A16 (Italian)
- An intimate spot with frequently changing menus and an extensive wine
list. Make sure you order the burrata, a
delightful appetizer that S&B’s own Jaci and Chris have been talking about
for the past year since they visited the eatery. For the more eclectic eater, head over to
Burma Super Star for a taste of Burmese fare.
It’s definitely worth the wait to experience the uniquely flavored foods
at this casual spot.
Favorite Sightseeing Tour: Alcatraz Island – Step onto “The Rock” and you’re
launched into the world that was once home to some of the country’s most
notorious criminals. Reachable only by
ferry, the claim still stands that no one has ever successful escaped the
prison. If visiting an old prison isn’t
your thing, then enjoy the ferry ride from San Francisco
to Sausalito and you can take in the sights of
Alcatraz from afar.
Don’t Miss: The Ferry Building – Eat
your way through the Ferry
Building at one of the many
vendors and shops selling everything from fine cheeses to gluten-free baked
goods to fresh oysters. Three days a
week there is also a Farmers’ Market.
For those who would rather take a seat, grab a drink and appetizers at
the Vietnamese restaurant Slanted Door.
If you’re too full to walk back to your hotel, consider hoping onto a
cable car and fulfill one of the quintessential San
Francisco “things to do.”
