 Davies Symphony Hall, San
Francisco by karenincalifornia
As a fun tradition each December, my family heads over to Davies Symphony Hall to listen to the joint performance of the San Francisco Symphony and the San Francisco Symphony Chorus. This popular performance is also a singalong so be prepared to give your windpipes a good work out! Leave a Comment

 shot of the fireworks taken
from our secret spot by guell
There are many places from where to watch the fireworks. If you happen to be staying near North Beach, walk (don't drive) to the top of Telegraph Hill to Coit Tower (seen in the center of the picture). You'll have a front row seat. Leave a Comment

 We even came with THING and
Cousin IT'S Jungle Boy by Geisha_Girl
My friends and I go out and contribute to this ghoulish "freakiness" as often as we can. This was one year we decided to do a "group theme."
Ya ever seen such a lovelier Asian Addams Family????? Leave a Comment

SF may be a liberal, anti-war city, but even we can't resist the roar of F-18s! Fleet Week happens every year during the first or second week in October. Thousands upon thousands of folks line the north waterfront to see the parade of navy ships, aerial acrobatics, and, especially, the Blue Angels. I went this year, and they threw in the Red Bull air races as well!
Events run all week, but the main days are Saturday and Sunday. It's free, so the waterfront is mobbed for about 2 miles! There's so much space, however, that it's really not necessary to get there real early. The best place to watch the event - especially the Blue Angels, is at the grandstand seating at Municipal Pier, just to the right of the Fort mason complex. These seats cost money, though - $20 - and have to be reserved ahead of time. Another great place to walk is the jetty containing the "wave organ." It's a hike, though; you have to walk around the yacht club to get out there, and it does fill up.
What to bring: A folding chair, camera (with zoom), snacks and water (the food stands are scarce, expensive, and lousy), binoculars, sunscreen, and a jacket for later.
Parking: Don't park north of Lombard Street! The area is absolutely jammed after the Blue Angels finish. Public transportation is useless - the buses can't get through the crowds. It's best to hike up the steep hills (a brutal walk!) and catch an east-west route, or just get a coffee and wait a while. And speaking of coffee, for some very strange reason, coffee is just impossible to find at the event! Get some on the way! Leave a Comment

 Japan Town at Xmas Time by mydreamquest
It's not lively in a grandiose way like NY. SF has pockets of nightlife scattered about on Lombard Street, the Castro, Noe Valley, Potrero Hill, South of Market, Union Street, and Fisherman's Wharf.
I took this picture next to Denny's in San Francisco's Japantown. Us locals call it "J-town." Leave a Comment
