Hi,
Have a bite to eat around the Wharf if you like seafood this is one of the best areas. Next, hope you have a car, take a drive down Lombard Street, you can get there by bus and walk down, however, to drive down is a treat. Find your way back to the Wharf, if you've not left take the "F" line street car from the Wharf back downtown to Market Street. The "F" line are all old Antique Street Cars, they are rolling museums. Get off the street car at the Embarcadero, at the Hyatt, go inside this is and impressive hotel lobby. Back outside and pay for your ride on the California Street Cable Car. This ride will get you up the hill past Chinatown, get off at the Fairmont Hotel if you guys are hungry, checkout the Tonga Room. In this resteruant in rains all the time. You'll have a good time. Now you are still in the Fairmont. Ask for directions to the outside glass elevator. This is a fun ride to the Crown room, you'll see another part of the City from the top. If you go close to sunset and it's not a foggy day you'll get a gret view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
By now you need a rest...... Next day visit the Golden Gate Bridge. If you drive find your way to one of the parking lots and walk out to the South tower, it should take about 15 minutes, more great views of the Bay, City and Alcatraz. Try and find your way down to Fort Point right below the bridge, it's a Civil War era structure.
Now you are ready for Golden Gate Park. you can get there on 19th ave. It's a bit of a trick to use the drive under tunnel and go south bound off the bridge, you can do it. Stay in the right lane for the way to 19th. You'll get to the park and see the park as you cross Fulton Ave and it's a right curve on the park drive through. Take the next right or the second right and you are in the park. Make sure you bring a map it will help out a lot. If you are ready for lunch or dinner try the end of the park at Ocean Beach and the Beach Challet, great views of the ocean and very good food and drinks. Now you can drive up back through the park to Height/Ashbery, not much left of the old school hippie villege, however, you can still get a feel for the old school place. Find Masonic turn right and head up to twin peaks, this will give you another view of the City and the Bay. For a place to see that will be very colorful try the Castro, from Twin Peaks head down to upper Market Street, turn downhill toward the Bay and before long you'll see the big rainbow flag and you are there. Great places to eat and hang out. For another great place to eat good food that is not expensive try Crapes on Cole. You can fine this place with a map it's on Cloe and Carl streets near the Height.
Enjoy..
