The Best of San Francisco : An Impertinent Insider's Guide to Everybody's Favorite City
Author: Don W. Martin
The Best of San Francisco is a guide to everybodys favorite city that tells you what the locals know (Bon Appetit). Completely revised and updated, this is a book of lists that highlights the citys Ten Best lures in more than 50 categories. These comprehensive lists give visitors, who have either only a few days to explore or plenty of time for touring, all the details they need to find the very best that San Francisco has to offer. Beginning with an unauthorized history that exposes some of the citys dark secrets, the guide lists the ten best tourist attractions, hidden lures, museums, hotels, bed and breakfast inns, historic pubs and more. Because San Francisco is a great dining city, the book has dozens of restaurants listings, ranging from best seafood parlors to the top cafes of Chinatown. For visitors on a budget, a Proud Paupers chapter points out the ten best free attractions and the cheapest eats and sleeps. Readers seeking a workout can find the ten best walks and bike routes. Some lists are fun or simply offbeat -- the ten most romantic hideaways, the ten best photo angles, the ten naughtiest diversions, and the ten dumbest things visitors can do. The book finally lists the best reasons to get out of town, featuring attractions in nearby Oakland, Berkeley, and beyond. <read more>
