Fascinating place. A ferry btw 10&11am, gives plenty of time without being rushed. Take time to walk around outside and see the gardens. The ferry and the island can be cold so bring a sweater.
Absolutely stunning views of the city. A good spot to bring in the New Year too.
The pendulum clock is mesmerising. Contains aquarium, rain-forest, planetarium, penguins, earth-quake zone and Claude the albino alligator, among other things.
Lots of murals, different styles, themes and messages. Really interesting place. San Francisco City Guides do a free walking tour of the murals twice a month http://www.sfcityguides.org/
Range of old coin operated arcade games and machines all in working order. Music, fortune tellers, games and an air-hockey table. What more could you want!
The street cars on the F line are all vintage cars that have been rescued from other cities. Travel along Market St and the Embarcadero in style!
The movie starts exactly at the time stated, the trailers come before that time. So don't be late! Alcohol and food served in the top-floor bar.
Cash only. Only a few blocks from the top of the wiggly bit Lombard St, reward yourself with some delicious ice-cream after climbing up the hill to get there
Deep-fried French toast is surprisingly delicious and pleasantly not greasy. Generous portion sizes and extensive breakfast menu
Great brunch menu, including biscuits, pancakes, huevos rancheros, and burritos in addition to all the usual suspects like fruit, granola, bacon and eggs
Wonderful, relaxed atmosphere during weekday lunch, but really busy at weekends. The sliders and salads are delicious. And the back bar has a retractable roof
Not fancy, but the burgers are cheap and always taste great. And you can never have too much Super Sauce
The hand-rolls are particularly good. Doesn't look much from the outside but the food is fantastic.
Fabulous cocktails and an interesting venue. Has a model of a 10,000 year clock and there is a talk/lecture series on a Tuesday
Wide range of prices and styles. The sale rails are extensive, permanent and often heavily discounted
