(1) Underwater World Aquarium at Pier 39, overpriced! (2) Most sit-down restaurants at Pier 39, overpriced! (except for the Eagle Cafe which has superb breakfasts and generous portions); at Pier 39, stick to Boudins Bakery; Blue Chip Cookies; and the other fast food joints. Here's a pizza coupon (hopefully this website still has them). North Beach Pizza is the City's best: http://www.mapwest.com/coupon/coup_44.html
Miscellaneous Facts: - on the Golden Gate Bridge, each section of cable is made of precisely 27,572 individual wires that together stretch more than 80,000 miles - there's an hourlong Blue and Gold Fleet Bay Cruise, leaves regularly from Pier 41 (next door to Pier 39) from 10 a.m. to late afternoon (time varies during the week.) $20 at ticket counter; $15 if booked online at www.blueandgoldfleet. com/bcruisesc.html. - the Presidio is barely a century old - it was all sand dunes before that - the Golden Gate was named by John C. Fremont - "Tiburon" is Spanish for "shark" - "Alcatraz" is Spanish for "pelican" - Rudyard Kipling once described San Francisco as "a mad city inhabited for the most part by perfectly insane people" - the smell of Pier 39's resident population of 700 barking, jostling sea lions, combined with the cloying aroma of baking waffle cones, is a remarkably potent appetite suppressant - the parking rates around Pier 39 are sky high, walk & take public transportation everyweher you go in the City Leave a Comment

Powell St, China Towne, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, great shops to browse, don't plan on buying anything of significant value, these shops change mgmt, come and go, you can forget good customer service if something goes wrong... Leave a Comment
