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.

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.

1044 Grant Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94133
It’s a Tea Bar. Come in, sit down, learn a lot about tea. Make sure to remember that you can get 3 to 5 pots out of one pinch of tea!

North Beach

Starting just across Broadway from Chinatown is the Italian section of North Beach.

A B Fits

1519 Grant Ave San Francisco, 94133

Great Jean Store! Also, look for the Italian coffee house near here.

One of the greatest dive bars in the world. Check out the mongoose/cobra taxidermy.

Union Street

Great shopping area from Octavia to Fillmore.

2149 Union Street, San Francisco, CA 94123
Contemporary Life Accessories is what I think the subtitle for this store is. In the middle of the great Union Street shopping street.

Hayes Valley

Another great little shopping area, a bit funkier than Union Street.

506 Hayes Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
The only retail store for Timbuk2 bike messenger bags. Will create a customized bag for you. In the Hayes Valley shopping area.

Where the big girls go to shop.

Hotel Union Square

I stay here a lot. It’s cheap and funky. Try to get the penthouse or at least a room along Powell.

Clift

495 Geary Street, San Francisco, CA 94102

You HAVE to go to the Redwood Room for cocktails. Outstanding atmosphere. Watch the love quintangle unfold on the digital portraits.

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.
