westward ho!

I may have mentioned last week some upcoming plane knitting time. I’m heading out to San Francisco later this week for a business trip. I did book my flight home a little later than I might have, so I have nearly a whole day to spend in the city exploring. But it occurs to me that I don’t actually know what I want to see. So I’m turning to you.

This will not be my first trip to San Francisco. I have ridden the cable car; visited Coit Tower, the California Academy of Science and Fisherman’s Wharf; wandered through Chinatown and Haight-Ashbury; stared at the Golden Gate Bridge; watched a Giants game; and shopped at City Lights bookstore and Imagiknit. Other than the zoo and Alcatraz, am I missing any obvious sights or museums in the city proper? (I’d like to see Muir Woods, but it sounds like that might be take most of the day, which means I should maybe save it for another trip.) Or anything you’ve seen that has been redone in the last 15 years that I should circle back to?

Also, are there any restaurants or shops you’ve been to there you’d particularly recommend? I’ve scoped out the area I’m staying in, identifying the location of the nearest indie bookstore, coffee house, and ice cream parlor.

It’ll be a whirlwind trip, but I’m looking forward to it!
