San Francisco Questions?
Hi, I’m interested in learning a little more about San Fran. I’ve grown about tired of the redneck, conservative south and am looking for a change.
I’m also considering Boston and Seattle, so if anyone has lived in either or all three of these cities your input would be appreciated!
1.) Which are the best neighborhoods? By best, I mean a walk, or short commute to great restaurants, bars and a grocery store.
2.) How is the nightlife? I’m not into cheesy clubs, I prefer bars, dives, hole in the wall type places.
3.) How is the public transportation?
4.) What are some must see and must eat places for a first time visitor?
Thank you!
Forgot to add, I can’t eat seafood! Any of it.
Italian, Chinese, Mexican, steak, pizza, burgers, BBQ fine. No seafood for me.
1. North Beach, Noe Valley, Fillmore.
2. Lots of great bars. Rumor is that there is one bar for every 95 people in SF so you are sure to find some you like. My favorites are Lefty O’douls on Geary at Powell, Marlena’s on Hayes at Laguna, The Mix on 18th at Castro, and Tommy’s Joint on Van Ness at Geary.
3. Public transporation is very good despite the almost constant bad mouthing locals do about it. You don’t have to own a car.
4. Must sees, Golden Gate Park, Golden Gate Bridge, Coit Tower, Alcatraz.
