Be Aware!: Visit the tenderloin with caution
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Tenderloin is not a great place to get lost so take cabs to avoid accidentally wandering around here. It borders Union Square on 5th, so its easy to wander the wrong way.

    At Least Do This: However, if you're feeling adventurous, try Thai Noodle at 901 Larkin. You can get a beer and lunch for under $10 and it rocks.
    Alternative: Or, if you're vegetarian, try Golden Era Vegetarian Restaurant at 572 O'Farrell.

    Pier 39: Avoid Pier 39-its boring
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • You know what this looks like already anyways. It's full of tourists, cheesy seafood restaurants and souveniers. T

    At Least Do This: Get a public transportation map (www.sfmuni.com) and take the busses, cable cars and F trains around instead. Visit the neighborhoods and see what the city is really like.
    Alternative: Chinatown is always a good alternative to Pier 39 and other touristy places. Although touristy itself, the place is bustling with real, honest to goodness, san franciscans going about their lives. Plus, there's tons of good food and stuff to shop around.
