"More Shops for willing Victims" Pier 39 Tip by machomikemd

Again one of my favorite areas of the city. PIER 39 is San Francisco's Premier Bay Attraction. The 45-acre open air complex has two levels of shopping, dining, and entertainment. PIER 39 houses more than 110 shops, 14 full-service restaurants, entertainment and numerous attractions. Best of all, PIER 39's location provides the picture perfect backdrop for postcard views of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, Alcatraz, Angel Island on San Francisco Bay and the City skyline. but again, a word of caution, the pier 39 area of the embarcadero is one whole tourist trap hehehe since the prices of the assorted good, foods and souvenir items here are on the high side so that if you are a budget conscious person, don't buy items here since strolling around is free and just buy the souvenir items you want at the union square area if you are going to downtown.

Unique Suggestions: don't buy items here as their are higher priced than in other areas of the city

Fun Alternatives: no alternative since it is one of the major tourist attractions in the city but again, if you are a cheapskate, don't buy souvenit stuff here.
