Gditz Posted June 15, 2012 Hey folks! I am currently on a road trip on the west coast of America and I don't know why it didn't ask for recommendations on this board earlier but better late than never right? I've still got around 2 weeks left here and I am currently in San Francisco and I was wondering if there are any good places to get food in the downtown area or things that one should visit in San Francisco. Other places I'll be cruising through are: Salt lake city, Colorado springs and Phoenix. Thanks in advance Thumbadeers EDIT: I meant the WEST coast, silly me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subbes Posted June 15, 2012 That's... not the East coast. (That's the other side.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted June 15, 2012 I had a great time in San Francisco visiting Alcatraz, Japantown and the little comic museum there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gditz Posted June 16, 2012 I had a great time in San Francisco visiting Alcatraz, Japantown and the little comic museum there. We went on the Alcatraz Tour and it was very interesting. We also managed to find an awesome restaurant that had a half pound cheeseburger and fries for only 4 bucks(!). SF has really been the most "modern" town so far on this trip. Many thanks for the tip Rodi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tabacco Posted June 16, 2012 If you like a crazy science museum, you might check out the Exploratorium. Also kind of cool is the cable car barn. Also also, maybe consider going to a Giants game? Sadly, looks like there won't be any home games 'til the 25th, but if you're around it's a lot of fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can also vouch for the awesomeness of the Exploratorium, good tip from tobacco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Giants game would definitively been enjoyable, baseball is one of the more exciting sports that I am sad has little to no coverage in my country. I wished you would have mentioned the Exploratorium sooner, after googling a bit I am hooked. Guess I'll have to visit it on my next visit to America.
