Definitely drive down to the half moon cay area and drive along the shore. Amazing views.
There's a sweet trail overlooking the bay area near a reservoir too, but can't remember the name of it.

Would like to make an addition or two:
If/when you go to Ghirardelli square, there is a pier right next to it that offers a fantastic view of Downtown SF skyline, Alacatraz, and the Golden Gate all at the same time, if you hit nice weather (no fog) this is a MUST in my opinion.
If you are looking for a nice / special upscale dinner one night, I have two words my friend:
Gary Danko - difficult to get reservations, so book as far in advance as possible.

Going to the pier to take photos.
Going to the Golden gate Bridge to take photos.
everything is expensive as fuark there.
Going to the sidewalks and take curved street photos.
Idk if you need reservations for Alcatraz but it was nice I toured there once.

Golden Gate Bridge. duh.
Dolores Park. Large park/open space, tons of people lounge around and gather.
Twin Peaks. High point on top of the city, great view.
Golden Gate Park. just venture around, from the Botanical Gardens, to the Japanese Tea Garden, there's lots to see. Can rent a small boat and venture around Stow Lake.
Pier 39 & Fisherman's Wharf. lots of botiques and stores, can see street performers, painters and other acts as well sometimes.
^Boudin. it's a bakery, makes Sourdough bread SF is known for.
Westfield Mall. large mall in the heart of downtown.
I'm sure i missed lots, so hopefully there's other recommendation for you!
Have fun!

You haven't lived until you've seen their homeless chit on the sidewalk.
If you aint into that and like sports, then go visit At&T park. It's definitely a unique stadium.

[QUOTE=WeekndOrNah post_id=1551718621]You didn't quote my post brah but you should do a day trip to Sonoma or Napa[/QUOTE]I'd like to check out Napa, not sure if I'm going to rent a car yet.
[QUOTE=DatFeelGuy post_id=1551716201]I went around Thanksgiving last year and did a lot of the touristy stuff:
-Smitten Ice Cream is really cool (made with nitrogen in front of you) and delicious. Definitely worth a try.
-Alcatraz is awesome. I suggest going earlier in the day so you have plenty of time and definitely do the headphone tour of the prison. It's guided by actual inmates.
-Haight Ashbury has a lot of hippie culture chit going on. I did a walking tour that was pretty boring. I wouldn't suggest it unless you're into that sort of thing.
-If you're into wine, I'd take a Napa/Sonoma wine tour via bus. I did the "Napa and Sonoma Wine Country Tour" and thought it was pretty well done. Seems to be one of the highest rated/most popular ones.
-Muir Woods is really cool for hiking. Redwoods, lots of hills, greenery, and some wildlife. I would definitely check this out--just bring your walking shoes.
-I love seafood so we ate at Fisherman's Wharf multiple times. You really can't go wrong at most of these places if you're into seafood. Looks like you aren't (your loss!). Check out Pier 39 to see the sea lions.
-China Town is worth a walk-thru. Beware the smelly chicken parts.
-If you're into baseball (or even if you aren't), the Giants play in probably the coolest stadium ever built.
-The Palace of FIne Arts is really cool. If you're into architecture, you should check this building and grounds out.[/QUOTE]Lots of good suggestions. I'm going to check out some ticket prices as see if i can catch a game while I'm there.

[QUOTE=ryan0931 post_id=1551718181]Forget house of prime ribs. Come across the bridge to Oakland. Night life should be poppin out here in the downtown part.
Go to Gogi Time or Ohgane and have a blast grilling as much meats/seafood/vegetables as you’d like. Also appetizers/soups/condiments. All you can eat for $30
For burgers and shakes, I hear gotts roadside is really good. There’s one in Walnut Creek. Very nice outdoor shopping area if you want to walk around and hit on a bunch of foreigners.
Try some dim sum anywhere in the Bay Area. Only have a couple go tos, one in San Leandro and another in Alameda.
You should definitely check out Alameda and head down park st. Lots of bars and restaurants, or you can go hang out by the beach.
Damn twin peaks looks beautiful, but another spot for a nice view is all the way up on the fish ranch road exit. It’s called “grizzly peak”. Really nice spot to check out Berkeley/Oakland/SF. Also some nice trails there as well.[/QUOTE]I'd be down to check out Oakland, I'm just not 100% on my vehicle situation at the moment.
[QUOTE=Woogiefied post_id=1551718381]Lifelong CA resident, would definitely go to the wharf even if you dont like seafood, tons of great people watching spots, and boyo there are some straight weirdos in the city. Also like someone else mentioned you should go check out brewcade, veeeery old arcade games, im talking stuff from the the early 1900’s.
Chinatown is always pretty cool, but my gavorite place by far and has already been mentioned is Alcatraz. Hands down the top thing you should see on your visit. If youre into museums and the sort the CA academy of science in golden gate park is pretty sweet, lots of cool things to do and see there, its an interactive museum.
Most of the the touristy spots have been mentioned, lombard st, fishermans wharf, alcatraz, golden gate bridge, etc. but they are all that is good about the city, have a good time OP, have a bowl of clam chowder at Boudins on the pier, hands down my favorite place to eat.[/QUOTE]Brewcade is looking like a definite as well. Is it "Bistro Boudin"?
[QUOTE=MrBourbon post_id=1551719091]You're visiting family that live there breh... won't they have some recommendations?
We honeymooned in Napa then SF - did the touristy stuff like the wharf, Lombard street etc. Alcatraz is really cool if you like history, and the trolley cars have a depot that has a museum and lets you see the machinery that powers them, we both really liked that. Seeing the Redwoods over in Muir Woods was awesome, it's just over the bridge. We ate in China Town nearly every day - I don't remember names but insanely good food and most of it very cheap. A buddy out there told me about a restaurant called The Stinking Rose that is all about garlic - I had the 40 garlic clove chicken and it was delicious. Mrs B is a lucky lady let me tell you. Then in the evenings you can catch an Uber over to the Castro and see how many dudes poles you can smoke before your jaw locks up. G/L ******* I believe in you![/QUOTE]Of course they have stuff planned, but I've got a whole forum of misc brahs to gather opinions from as well. I'm actually going to be staying by the Castro district, so I'll see if I can beat my previous record.

Have a good time OP.
I know a little more about Oakland spots, so if you happen to roll through there, I recommend Plank which is a kickass bowling/bar/biergarten and Forge Pizza which is on the water.

Stay the f out of the tenderloin. I'd opt for any kind of game at Kezar Stadium instead of a giants game, but I'm biased. As already stated, check out twin peaks, the various battery sites near the Presidio. There are some amazing trails to hike, especially at sunset. The Disney museum. If you're into scenery, both bridges look amazing from treasure island at night. The hot dog stand guy has some bomb homemade tamales if he's there and hasn't sold out. Check to see if there are any street fairs going on. If you're coming next week as in next Sunday, check the route of bay to breakers, cant get crazy and may want to avoid it. It's definitely entertaining, though.
Friday nights fort Mason hosts off the grid which has a variety of local foods from street trucks, live music, wine and beer. Cold AF, so layer up.
Definitely do Alcatraz. Grab a pupusa or 3 from panchitas in the mission. Mitchell's ice cream is good. Also in the mission-ish. Classic, old school ice cream with a bunch of different flavors. Academy of science and the exploratorium are for adults only on Thursday nights. Cool to check out at least once. Take a walk through golden gate park, there are a herd of American bison, kinda cool to see in person. Ocean beach sunsets with a bonfire are cool too. There are a few spaces dedicated to bonfires, just need wood. Emporium is pretty decent, younger crowd, they serve alcohol, decent beer selection and have old school arcade games, pinball, etc.
So many different places for food it's hard to recommend any. Epic steak on the embarcadero is good. There's also a whiskey bar on the embarcadero called hard water if you're into whiskey. State bore provisions on Fillmore is supposedly amazing, have not been yet. The marina, mainly chestnut and union, is good for picking up chicks if you're trying to get into that. The palace of fine arts is also located in that district. Beautiful to see at night.
Angel island has tours of the immigration camp of you're into history. Humbling.
Gotta do the Seward park slides.
I'll post more as it comes to me.
Also stay away from south of market. 5th and 6th streets mostly. You'll know. I've picked up a lot of tourists who have been rocked and then had their crap taken.
Also. +1 for gogi time in Oakland. Good eats.

Golden Gate Bridge. duh.
Dolores Park. Large park/open space, tons of people lounge around and gather.
Twin Peaks. High point on top of the city, great view.
Golden Gate Park. just venture around, from the Botanical Gardens, to the Japanese Tea Garden, there's lots to see. Can rent a small boat and venture around Stow Lake.
Pier 39 & Fisherman's Wharf. lots of botiques and stores, can see street performers, painters and other acts as well sometimes.
^Boudin. it's a bakery, makes Sourdough bread SF is known for.
Westfield Mall. large mall in the heart of downtown.
I'm sure i missed lots, so hopefully there's other recommendation for you!
Have fun!

If you aint into that and like sports, then go visit At&T park. It's definitely a unique stadium.

I know a little more about Oakland spots, so if you happen to roll through there, I recommend Plank which is a kickass bowling/bar/biergarten and Forge Pizza which is on the water.

I'd opt for any kind of game at Kezar Stadium instead of a giants game, but I'm biased. As already stated, check out twin peaks, the various battery sites near the Presidio. There are some amazing trails to hike, especially at sunset. The Disney museum. If you're into scenery, both bridges look amazing from treasure island at night. The hot dog stand guy has some bomb homemade tamales if he's there and hasn't sold out. Check to see if there are any street fairs going on. If you're coming next week as in next Sunday, check the route of bay to breakers, cant get crazy and may want to avoid it. It's definitely entertaining, though.
Friday nights fort Mason hosts off the grid which has a variety of local foods from street trucks, live music, wine and beer. Cold AF, so layer up.
Definitely do Alcatraz. Grab a pupusa or 3 from panchitas in the mission. Mitchell's ice cream is good. Also in the mission-ish. Classic, old school ice cream with a bunch of different flavors. Academy of science and the exploratorium are for adults only on Thursday nights. Cool to check out at least once. Take a walk through golden gate park, there are a herd of American bison, kinda cool to see in person. Ocean beach sunsets with a bonfire are cool too. There are a few spaces dedicated to bonfires, just need wood. Emporium is pretty decent, younger crowd, they serve alcohol, decent beer selection and have old school arcade games, pinball, etc.
So many different places for food it's hard to recommend any. Epic steak on the embarcadero is good. There's also a whiskey bar on the embarcadero called hard water if you're into whiskey. State bore provisions on Fillmore is supposedly amazing, have not been yet. The marina, mainly chestnut and union, is good for picking up chicks if you're trying to get into that. The palace of fine arts is also located in that district. Beautiful to see at night.
Angel island has tours of the immigration camp of you're into history. Humbling.
Gotta do the Seward park slides.
I'll post more as it comes to me.
Also stay away from south of market. 5th and 6th streets mostly. You'll know. I've picked up a lot of tourists who have been rocked and then had their crap taken.
Also. +1 for gogi time in Oakland. Good eats.

Honestly the only thing you'll want to see is Alcatraz brah. SF is a HUGE sheethole. Homeless pissing, shyting on everything, the crowds, the parking, the ridiculous cost of food. Just drive over the bridge, do the Alcatraz tour and call it a day. Head down the cost to Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel, head North into Napa, wine country, Lagunitas is in Petaluma, Safari West is in Santa Rosa.

Coit tower. Great views of the city, bay and Alcatraz. Nice, cheap priced souvenirs at the bottom shop. DO IT
Also, go check out 350 Mission Street (srs). The lobby is awesome and its free to the public.

Live and work in sf checking in. Lots of great suggestions ITT but a few things I have not seen mentioned.
La Taqueria or El Farolito in the Mission. GOAT burritos/tacos
Golden Gate Tap Room. Right by union square and an excellent spot to watch the NBA playoffs
SF Academy of Sciences. In Golden Gate Park. Amazing wildlife, albino alligator, tons of cool chit. If you go on a Thursday night they have a DJ and serve alcohol
Epic Steak. Amazing food with an incredible view of the bay bridge
Cityscape bar. High rise bar and one of the best views I’ve ever seen
The View. At the Marriott hotel downtown. Another bar with 10/10 views
Carbin Grill. Korean bbq in the Richmond district. All you can eat and delicious as fukk
Will come up with more if you need them and happy to provide bar/club recommendations

Alcatraz was really the only thing that appealed to me in my own research aside from grub spots.
