A must- do North Beach experience. Get there at about 7AM or enjoy the friendly line out front. It is worth the wait.

#9 is an old school Fisherman's Wharf restaurant. Honestly, most of the food at the wharf is pretty much the same. The prices are also similar. Great view. Authentic. Preferred by locals. Friendly.

I vastly prefer the Bistro to the left as you enter the main door. The prices are better and it is also in the more original part of the building. The popovers are not to be missed-the view is superb.

Lots and lots of stairs but another world when you get to the top. Don't miss the balcony and don't be shy... walk around both sides of the altar. An amazing ceiling too

Sightseeing

One of several Bicycle rentals near the house. Others: Powell near Chestnut and Lombard and Columbus. Take a bike ride along the bay and over the GG Bridge to Sausalito or Tiburon. Take the boat home.

The pin here is wrong! Drive North on Hyde St, then right down Lombard for "the Crookedest Street in the World'. ... this helps you avoid the long line that often forms West on Lombard Street.

Arts & Culture

There is no way to describe this zany show. It is real San Francisco. It has run for almost 40 years. I have never known a local or tourist who does not love it. Book ahead.
