My friends just opened up a great little bar called sublounge (http://www.subloungesf.com), where I DJ on Thursday (and some other) nights. Great music (house, mostly), and friendly, mellow people.
Other fun things:
1. I second the Sutro Baths idea. But realize that it's non-functional, and more of an interesting mini-hike (VERY mini). Man, it would be cool if someone renovated those... The weird proto-Disneyland fake cliffs above the Cliff House are surreal.
2. See what's going on at Cellspace (http://www.cellspace.org/)
3. There's probably some kind of post-Burning Man "Decompression" party, if you're looking to do some weird-watching (http://www.burningman.com)
4. Go up the Pacheco Ave hill in the Sunset, and look down over the Pacific Ocean.
5. Go to eat at my girlfriend's wonderful new restaurant (http://www.incanto.biz) and have her make you the best salads (and the Italian food is outstanding) in SF.
6. Eat a hamburger at Carousel (aka the Doggie Diner) at the end of Sloat, by the Zoo.
7. Go to Point Reyes in the North Bay, and WALK the two or three miles to the beach, which should be EMPTY during the week, and is breathtakingly beautiful (I'm reading AHWOSG and Eggers sums up CA with this:
"We run back across the highway, back into the red Civic and keep driving. Past the surfers, through the eucalyptus forest before Half Moon Bay, birds swooping up and over then back, circling around us - they too, for us! - then the cliffs before Seaside - then flat for a little while, then a few more bends and can you see this motherfucking sky? I mean, have you fucking BEEN to California?" )
8. On that note, take Highway 1 to Santa Cruz (my hometown), and hit the beach there, stop at Cafe Pergolesi ("Pergs") for coffee on the way out.
9. Get an expensive-but-worth-every-penny haircut from Angela at AuTop salon downtown.
10. Stop by Aquarius Records on Valencia, for record shopping with the indier-than-thou crowd.
11. Record shopping at Amoeba, which has pretty much everything EVER.
12. Take a salmon fishing cruise out into the bay, and catch your own HUGE bay salmon.
That's all I can think of for now - have fun! |
