Check how much i havnt done.

RED – WONT DO

• Go to Alcatraz and definitely take the audio tour.
• Tour Fishersman’s Whart. It is touristy and cheesy, beware.
• See the sea lions at Pier 39 at Fisherman’s Wharf.
• Get some clam chowder at Boudin in Fisherman’s Wharf. Beware, it’s a lot of food.
• Talk with the street performer by Ghirardelli’s. Ask him to sing in any language you want (Turkish, Russian, Mandarin and German works)
• Visit the wineries in Napa Valley. Better if you take a tour instead of driving there yourself.
• Bike the bridge to Sausalito. Be amazed how much it resembles Istanbul.
• Go see a concert in Mountain View Amphitheater. I recommend The Fray.
• Buy some sundae from Ghirardelli. Beware that they are ridicolously sweet; probably want to share it with someone.
• Go see the painted ladies (not what you think) and reminisce about Full House.
• Get some food at In-n-Out. Bonus points for off-menu items.
• Eat breakfast at Pat’s in North Beach. Maybe not as fancy as Mama’s but there’s not a 2 hour waiting line.
• Eat some Italian food at Cafe Zoetrope (owned by Francis Ford Coppola).
• While there, visit some of the bars on Broadway and then eat drunk-food at Golden Boy Pizza.
• Go to Mission and hang out with the hipster crowd. I recommend the hookah bar on Valencia.
• Visit Baker Beach. Beware of the nudists (or join in).
• Go to a bonfire on Ocean Beach on a sunday.
• If you see a Tesla roadster on the road, try to take a photo of it and have the driver smile at you.
• Find friends who work at start-ups based in the city so and have BBQ parties on the rooftop.
• Go to Chinatown and buy some Chinese food that looks scary.
• Find a friend who has sailing license and sail in the bay with your friends. Beware, it’s windy but awesome still.
• Drink some fancy tea at Samovar (by Metreon, ask around)
• Take the cable car. (but be ready for the long waits)
• Go to one of the Nightlife parties at California Academy of Sciences on a Thursday
• Visit MOMA and want to buy every single thing at the gift shop.
• Eat a fried chicken sandwich at Bakesale Betty. There’s a line but it moves really fast. And it is worth it.
• Hang around at Union Square at night. It’s very fancy.
• Go to Dolores Park. That place gets interesting at night.
• Listen to some random people playing music at Union Square.
• Find a street festival (Haight and Ashbury was fun) and go there.
• Walk through Tenderloin at late night. Bonus points for making it home safely.
• Eat some tasty burritos in Mission at Taqueria Cancun.
• Go to a GitHub meetup and drink some Scotch on your favorite repo’s dime
• Sit next to the founder of your blog software on the bus (and don’t realize it).
• Go to Marina district. I haven’t figured out what to do there yet.
