We usually avoid the touristy things too. (I hadn't been to Fisherman's wharf in YEARS! I forgot how tacky it is.) But we're both suckers for a good museum. To me, the charm of San Francisco is in the out of the way places that the tourists rarely, if ever, go.

The new DeYoung is on my list. But, THIS is a must see for us.

I would have loved to have gone, but there's no way I could have gotten Bill to go. :rolleyes:

I love Greens, wonderful place.

My last visit (as a non-resident) I visited the Slanted Door, insanely great reputation, I found the food good (but not as awesome as had been promoted) and the decor swanky as hell and the view spectacular. I used to work in the Ferry Bldg. back where there was a law firm in there. Horrid firm, and really crappy attorney I worked for, but I had a window I could open and get breeze off the bay all day at my desk, that part was heaven on earth.

Looking forward to paying a visit so all the new places I've not been to and many old ones I've missed, The Red Crane, Boulevard and Lovejoy's. Then, the land of all temptation, Molinari's Deli in North Beach (YUM)

On Van Ness

My husband and I were cracking up at the murals on the walls of the main dining room.....2 Cowboys at a lake and swan swimming in the lake. Just seemed out of place. Then the last panel had a group of cowboys around a fire and it looked like one of the cowboys was topless. I think is was really a tan shirt, but at first glance we just figured it was San Francisco appropriate. (no offense meant) It provided a few giggles, after a few drinks at the bar before dinner and sitting in front of the murals for 3 hours. :blush:

Pictures!
