Start in Union Square, walk through Chinatown, head to North Beach, bop over to Union Street. Now THAT's a shopping/eating/drinking extravaganza. Save Hayes Valley for another day. If you've got the time, take a drive up to Marin County over the Golden Gate Bridge.

Chinatown

Just walk along Grant street starting around Bush Street to get the whole tourist effect.

House of Nanking

919 Kearny Street, San Francisco, CA 94133
The food is EXTRAORDINARY for the price. Make sure to ask for the Chicken in Tsingtao beer sauce the OLD WAY – with the white sauce. You won’t be disappointed.

Hotel Union Square

Day Trip to Marin

Rent a car and drive up to Muir Woods for the afternoon. Exit on Route 1. Drive back through Saulsalito.

Muir Woods

Muir Woods is a short drive to a beautiful walk among remaining coastal Redwoods. Try to go during the week to avoid the crowds.

Saulsalito

Quasi-quaint seaside village – as much as there can be one a stone’s throw from San Francisco. Nice little shops and great seafood.
