Hey...just a quick question for those who reside in the Bay area/SF...I just moved here about 10days ago for school and the past 10days ive been busy with moving into an apartment and registering for classes and so on...now ive got about another 10days till classes begin and i would love to know if there are any MUST-SEE spots and nice live reggae/rock/acid-jazz bars or so on...
If you do live in the area and you know of some cool places,please do let me know...i would appreciate it...thanx!! :)
Oh since im going to be alone,pls make sure you pick some safe places/neighbourhoods.

One place that I always enjoyed was Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island. You can travel there going over the Bay Bridge. It has awesome views of the whole Bay Area and is free and safe. With benches, paths old naval buildings to look at. If you don't have a car - MUNI should still run a bus route out there from the Transbay Terminal - but you might want to check.

Be sure to check out the Exploratorium, of course, and the "Camera Obscura" at Point Lobos before you "settle in" or you'll think it's for tourists and miss out on a spectacular & strange place!

There are always some wacky "yard sales" across the Golden Gate in Marin County, and there's a wonderful pub called The Pelican a ways up 101.
have fun...

Go to the pier, they have all kinds of stuff.....They have a place that is a tunnel where you can walk under the ocean and see all the fish it's real neat. They have comedians, bumper cars and you can tour alcatraz...I love the bay area that's where i am from....I miss home you'll have a great time there. There's all kinds of things to do but the pier is the best and they have great food....Go check it out.

It would be hard to pinpoint any one area, the city is such a great place. I think you would should visit every area of the city. There is such diversity here that you will be surprised, so many great restaurants and bars.

This won't help you but I'm so jealous. I miss SF.
Try one of those free newpapers. I think one is called the SF Guaridian. Lists everything you need.
I'M SO JEALOUS!!!!!!

Until you know your way around please be home by dark. Your family will appreciate it. Explore during the day 'til you meet someone from your school, who can show you the night spots. Use the buddy system, lol.
