I have ridden the cable car; visited Coit Tower, the California Academy of Science and Fisherman&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;ve seen that has been redone in the last 15 years that I should circle back to?<\/p>\n<p>Also, are there any restaurants or shops you&#8217;ve been to there you&#8217;d particularly recommend? I&#8217;ve scoped out the area I&#8217;m staying in, identifying the location of the nearest indie bookstore, coffee house, and ice cream parlor.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;ll be a whirlwind trip, but I&#8217;m looking forward to it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I may have mentioned last week some upcoming plane knitting time.
