San Francisco Tourist Trap Tips by topoftheworl

I will not say 'do not go there,' because you WILL So, lets just accept that, and move on.
FILM: Buy it before you go there, It is at least $5 more per roll.
MONEY: Men, wallets in the front pocket. Women: Purse cross strapped, palm across it at all times.
FOOD: Have a ball. Try the cioppino in a sourdough bread-bowl. Crab, lobster, shrimp. It's all here. Avoid the crab-cakes at Alioto's. Don't even THINK about hamburgers, unless it is at In'n'Out Burgers. Good milkshakes there, too
SHOPPING: Good deals can be found at the Electronics stores. I suspect it's because the stuff is bought in from Dubai. Most of the shopkeepers are of Mid-Eastern origin. Bargaining is advised. Case in point: A Canon camera. $399 downtown SF. $179, $ 159, and even $600, albeit with a different lens. If a salesman is too pushy, which is normal to their ilk, say thank you and walk away.
Good deals on Fleece Jackets too.
Ripley's Museum is a must see. Madame Tussaud's you can leave out if you have plans on, or have already been to London.
Enjoy a hot dog near the ferry piers, (and I know you WILL take a ferry. Take some stale bread and have fun as the seagulls crowd around the back of the boat,) It is the most worth for your money at 'Suckers Wharf,'
