West Coast, Y'all

I am going on vacation. Ten days and counting. I cannot remember the last time I went on a vacation - possibly the family Disney trip of '05 that was a valuable learning experience (i.e. the Disney Magical Express is neither magical nor express, discuss amongst yourselves).

But this time around, Niki, Jenn and I are heading to San Francisco from three different cities for a long girls' weekend. We already have a couple of things on our to do list, but for those of you San Fran experts (or natives!), please weigh in on those things we absolutely must see, do, eat or experience. We enjoy all thing edible, libations, art, dancing, green things, and abandoned prison fortresses. Please cast your vote now.

i recommend, having just 6 months ago tarried there, go to:

-Bourbon and Branch- and you must try the bourbon and get sauced on it. Though there's much ado about an underground speakeasy, I found it just a very nice unique experience and best with friends of course.

-Go to a show: the symph, opera, whatevs. See if you can get rush tix.

-I loved the Palace of Fine Arts.

-Meet with Daisy. She either must be going to or coming from a party. So calling her would be a definite recommend.

-Shop on Market as a last resort cuz it's all touristy and what not.

-Boat cruise to the prison? Why not but you MUST get your tix NOW. it will sell out. and throw in Moma for some visual whynotis as well. The legion of honor is very pretty from what i can tell- though it was very foggy at the time.

good for you being all travelly and what not.

Merci beaucoup, mendacious!

We are planning an afternoon in Golden Gate Park and still in debate as to whether the Alcatraz tour is worth the time - although I morbidly really want to go! :) I'm adding your responses to our list of considerations!
