I’m in my 30s and divorced, but recently ran into an early college fling that flipped my lost hope for love upside down. This girl is an 11/10. She’s just fantastic. I may have found a partner for good. I’m surprising her with a weekend trip to San Fran (cheapest flights on short notice) and want to show her a grand time. She knows we are flying, just not where, she’s super stoked. Neither of us drink, we are very much into feeling the local vibes/food, probably a museum or two (which one?!), but what else? I’ve seen a lot of y’all are from there, I wouldn’t mind meeting up either! Any advice would help! Thank you all for how awesome you’ve been to me.

The pirate store below Dave Egger's writing school is fun but also intilectual enough to impress.

An 11/10 that doesn't drink? oh man, hang on to that one. I'm legit jealous.
Erutanmi
I know right! She’s funny, smart as a whip, driven, and cute as hell. I didn’t think it was possible anymore.

Their library system has free walking tours. You can try https://sf.funcheap.com for diff ideas too. Also Muir Woods/wine tours are good

Go see Alcatraz and cuff her?
enheru
If you are renting a car Monterey is about a 2 hour drive with a nice aquarium and sea otters. Take her to see the sea otters.

Went there decades ago, loved it so much that I went for another visit years later

my favorite place growing up

Alcatraz is rad. Make reservations soon, though.
Erutanmi
How could I forget!? Thank you! I just bought tickets.

Time to brush up on five seasons of Nash Bridges to get a feel for the sights of San Francisco.

Go to Lands End and/or Marin Headlands for sunset!

The exploratorium is a blast if you're interested in science at all. I think the tactile dome is closed because of Covid, but if not, do it!
famousbymorning
Check out Fort Point. It has a cool fort you can check out and there is surfing that is fun to watch assuming the waves are good.
pablozzyzzk
It's pretty close to the giant redwoods. That's something special to see. Also, eat Chinese. I like New Moon, but there isn't a bad one.
tymonaSmasher
Nice view from Coit tower. golden Gate is a must
BatLadyRielle
If you're gonna have a car, you can also go to Santa Cruz, which has a very fun downtown and of course the Boardwalk
BatLadyRielle
The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is free to walk around, but you can buy tickets for rides. There's also a huge arcade with laser tag
BatLadyRielle
In downtown Santa Cruz, Laili is a great place for dinner
thedewser
The Dali/Disney museum at the presidio is pretty cool. China Town is neat, obviously the piers are a good spot to wander. Watch for poop.
Muunk
Ghirardelli factory, Boudin Bakery, Alcatraz, GG bridge, Sausalito, Lombard Street, Palace of Fine Arts, Fisherman's Warf, Big Sur.
UsernameMayBeSubjectToChange
Think I covered all those. No noticeable poop two decades ago.
theinternetbased
Catch a Giants game...take in the view from the Marin headlands...Tommy's Joynt for lunch or dinner or a drink...DM me and I'll get ya/
theinternetbased
tickets to the de Young or Palace of fine arts
BatLadyRielle
Also, and I say this gently and with a welcoming heart: while you're there don't call it "san fran". It'll put off all the locals
BatLadyRielle
SF (ess eff), the City, or San Francisco. If you're anywhere in the bay area and you say The City, they'll know you mean SF.
BatLadyRielle
San Fran and Frisco will mark you as an Outsider immediately and while most people aren't gonna be MEAN, it's better to go with the flow
knotydes
Ferry building is pretty good for food and shopping during the day. Fisherman's wharf has good seafood.
knotydes
De young museum is great art museum. It has a tower with an amazing 360 view. Def recommend.
knotydes
Academy of science is in golden gate park across from de young. Cool double museum one trip kinda thing
PlausibleLies
tDrive across the Golden Gate bridge in the afternoon, have dinner in Sausalito (Scomas mentioned is nice) and view the city lights
slidewhistlesymphony
Tenderloin District. That is all.
Erutanmi
Yum. Thank you.
Erutanmi
Googled it, that looks PERFECT!!!
BatLadyRielle
I would *not* go there on a date, dude. it is not super safe.
thedtp
I live less than an hour from SF. The Tenderloin has some rough spots just fyi. I normally avoid when in the city. The Mission neighborhood…
thedtp
…has some wonderful local life and is outside of the main city center. Golden Gate park is wonderful. Ferry Building and Golden Gate Bridge.
thedtp
North Beach for Italian food. You can also take BART to the East Bay (Oakland) or the ferry to Alameda Island.
BatLadyRielle
Pier 39 has it all: Alcatraz (book it ahead of time or you'll be sorry), the Aquarium, and of course Boudin Bakery. Not too far from there-
BatLadyRielle
is Ghirardelli Square, which has a lot of touristy shopping and of course CHOCOLATE. It's a long walk though, so be prepared
BatLadyRielle
BRING LAYERS IT'S COLD. Even in the summer. Also, Don't skip the aquarium- it goes under the bay and that's a pretty unique experience
BatLadyRielle
For something a little more upscale there's the Ferry Building which has a lot of shops and food, too!
BatLadyRielle
There's also Haight Ashbury which has a lot of cool shops and ofc the history there. Plus one of my fav spots- Cha Cha Cha!
BatLadyRielle
Haight Ashbury (or simply The Haight) will definitely feel more like a "local vibe" though there isn't *really* one local vibe in the city
BatLadyRielle
If you do go to Cha Cha Cha, don't skip the fried new potatoes.
