With my wife anyone have any suggestions on what to do thats not too touristy? I have the obvious places written down, the warf, alcatraz, napa. I would like to know some good places to eat, have coffee, check out thats off the beaten path. Thanks!

Yeah, you can cruise by San Jose and help me redo the vacuum lines and tune my carb. :D

If your wife is willing, take her to the USS Hornet:

Half moon bay is also nice for the tide pools and hiking -- the eats is good around that whole area too. Might get lucky and see (or smell first) the sea lions (seals, manatees, sea squirrels, I dunno), or whatever those things were that stunk from quite a ways away last time we were there. Here's the tide chart -- go at low tide or you'll see nothing:

Don't get me started.... I spent years & years watching episodes of "In Living Color".

Go to the Castro district and wear a mini skirt

Personally, I prefer Monterey

I missed a lot of the sites when I was there last, I really wanted to see the prison. The strangest thing I saw there was green people at some coffee shop. Good thing I was in a car behind a locked door.

I've always thought driving the Bullit route would be fun but I think that winding hilly street is closed off to the public. Not that I would recommend spinning out at the end of the route and busting up the front suspension but if you're running down a Charger, I guess " it" just happens.

Definitely, drive the Bullitt route. It's not so much a route as it is a series of street sections. Jones, Taylor and all the other streets are open to drive, same as always. Heck, that's a Bullitt on Taylor St. jumping in my Avatar. Steve's apartment is not open to the public. So, if you drive it, you better have good brakes, steering and if you drive a clutch there you best know how to start on a steep grade. I drove my Bullitt there, and on the route in 06 when IMBOC had the Bullitt Nationals Meet. It's not bad IMHO, but then again I learned to drive in Pittsburgh as a teen, and the streets there are just as steep if not moreso.:D

Ride a trolly car, cross the bridge and get a burger on the north end near the Old Army Post. See Fisherman's Wharf, and don't skip the Girradelli Chocolate Factory! See the city's web site. I used to have it book marked, but have changed PCs since and lost the bookmark in the process.

Have fun, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! BTW, the Coast Hwy is closed just south of the city. Otherwise I'd say you should drive at least part of the way on that. Far more enjoyable than the Interslab.
