Things to do in the Bay Area

This might be the wrong forum to ask on, because everyone here seems to think that SF is absolute hell, but I'll have quite a bit of free time in San Francisco next month and I'm wondering what are some cool things to do there/attractions to visit. I don't really want to visit dumb touristy places like Fisherman's Wharf; I would definitely prefer off the beaten path and less mainstream attractions.

So far I'm thinking about getting Dim Sum in Chinatown and visiting SF MOMA. What else would you fellow monkeys recommend?

 

You should join the cultural enrichment of the homeless locals and shoot up heroin, seeing as you will be stepping on used needles on the side walk.

I also hear that smelling your own farts and tweeting about Donald Drumphfff is a SF cultural delicacy.

I've lied here for a few years and it depends on what you are into... I'd be throwing away the rest of my morning if I typed everything you can do. What are you into?

Outdoors: Mt Tam, Muir Woods (redwoods), Monterey (Whale watching aquarium), Big Sur., Alcatraz, Yosemite, Taho, Ocean Beach, Golden Gate Park.

Food: China Town, Japan Town, Mission District (Mexican), Brunch in North Beach/Marina (also Italian)?

Art: Moma, Ice Cream Museum (Haven't been), ... can't really comment here

I can give better advice depending on your budget and tastes but there is toooo much to do here it's nuts.

What kind of law do you practice?

What about the bars/club scene? All I've seen is Gay nightlife, but is there any insight into good nightlife for straight people lmao? Trying to make the most of my summer there.

Don't be afraid to putt from the rough. A semester in Greek won't ruin a major in Latin.

In SF most everywhere is very gay friendly so you'll encounter plenty of gay people when you go out at night. There are of course places that are more dedicated to being exclusively LBGT (or some subset of that). Most places will merely be gay friendly but if you accidentally walk into a places that is clearly exclusively or mostly gay you can just leave. Unless you're deeply uncomfortable with seeing a few dudes dance/make out with each other, nightlife in SF is not much different from anywhere else in the country.

 

Go to Japan Town and visit the bookstore and grocery store. The grocery store sushi is awesome and super cheap.

Go to Pier 39 to see the seals and do the maze there - it's hilarious fun.

Check out Dogpatch and dine at Piccino then check for events at Dogpatch WineWorks. Overall amazing neighborhood food scene.

Visit San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.
