These San Francisco must-sees are much chicer than Alcatraz.
Stay
Technically the Inn
Above Tide is in Sausalito, but its on-the-water location and big
picture windows frame a sunrise that feels much more island town than
big city suburb. From $320 per night Inn Above Tide, 30 El Portal,
Sausalito, CA, 415-332-9535, www.innabovetide.com
Shop
Hayes Valley may only be a few blocks long, but
its lined with unique shops like interior décor Mecca
Lotus Bleu and haute florist Birch.
Eat
A bright, beautiful space thats open late, Locanda
specializes in traditional Roman fare gone modern and pours equally
inspired cocktails. Locanda Osteria and Bar, 557 Valencia St., San
Francisco, CA, 415-863-6800,

Drink
Ask anyone where to go in San Francisco and theyll
mention the up-and-coming (read: rapidly gentrifying) Mission District.
For drinks, youll want to head off Mission Street to Valencia, which
houses brasseries and lounges packed well into the night.
Do
Some cities are best seen by foot, but San Francisco, with
its waterfront baseball diamonds and spooky island penitentiary, is
stunning from the air. San
Francisco Helicopter Tours start at $175 per person. Kelsey Dundon
