San Francisco information
I'm driving into SF on Saturday and attending the Sat and Sun afternoon ballgames.
I'll be coming in from Sacramento on 80 west and am staying in a small hotel in the Financial District. Should I park my car at an outlying BART station? If so, which station is the most convenient? Is it worth paying the extra $20-25 a day to park in the city (I'll probably be on foot/mass transit for the weekend)? Any bars or restaurants that are can't misses (the 21st Amendment is already on the list)? |

Re: San Francisco information
The closest BART station will probably be the Embarcadero station and if I remember correctly there is no praking station there. Your best bet would be to park at a garage and to be honest if you don't need a car to get out of the city for anything it would be ideal not to have a car. The city mass transist cababilities are quite adequate to get around in San Francisco and the city is small enough, land wise, to get around on foot if need be.
I will be at the game on Sunday, taking the wife to her first game ATT park. We plan to make a whole day of it, get to the city early eat some dim sum for breakfast then poke around the city for a while. Just before the game starts we will probably stop at Gordon Biersch,http://sanfrancisco.citysearch.com/profile/876108, for a beer and snack. Have a good time. |

It's actually only 3 1/2 hours from Reno down to SF, so I should be getting there bright and early Sat. |

Aqua and Farallon are the "it" fine dining places. Both are good and EXPENSIVE. Also try Zeke's on Third and Brannan is not as yuppified as some of the bars closer to the park.
