San Francisco, CA

San Fran is a super fun town with a great vibe. Think NY’s East Village meets a bunch of cutting-edge techies who work at places like Google and Apple. What do you get? Organic California with one part hi-tech and other part Bohemian style. These guys have been listening to their iPods, podcasting, blogging, Maccing it up, and who knows what else, for years before the rest of us even knew that they made Louis Vuitton iPod covers. So that trailblazer mentality permeates into everyday life. WiFi coffeehouses are rest-stops to get you thru your day or night. When robots do get more popular, you’ll probably see them out here before anywhere else.

Famed for its beautiful skyline and golden gates, this city of some 750,000 souls, is amazingly diverse. There’s a great Italian section, amazing Asian influences in Chinatown and Japantown – pretty much any type of food you may crave is somewhere in the Bay area. Speaking of the Bay, there is just something magical about that red bridge – it’s quite a site and even better up close as you ride or walk across it.

Each neighborhood (and there are nearly 25 of them) has architecture, history, personality and a life of its own. From grand, sweeping views to neighborhood color and character, from glimpses of history to world-class dining and first-rate nightlife, San Fran is home to a little bit of everything. A great way to see this city is to choose a neighborhood and explore on foot with a little help from the cable cars mixed in here and there.

With a booming district, a diverse population and an active cultural life, its no wonder San Francisco attracts so many visitors. To help you with your visit, we’ve picked a small sampling of our favorite restaurants and nightlife – just to give you a taste of the best the city has to offer. Obviously, this is not a comprehensive list. But don’t just listen to us, get out there and check them out for yourself!
