Top Things to Do in San Francisco for First Timers (with hidden gems)
August 8, 2024 - We had a lovely sunny afternoon and enjoyed a flight of beer at San Francisco Brewing Company and of course, had to buy chocolate to bring home! The Ferry Building is a food market paradise – it’s extra fun to visit on Saturday mornings for the Farmer’s Market, especially if the sun is out! I tried the unique Charcoal latte at Red Bay coffee!

What are some unique/weird/interesting things to do in SF?
Here's a few ideas: Gregangelo museum (Into the Rabbit Hole tour) Musée Mécanique Audium SF crosstown trail I particularly like urban hikes (like the crosstown trail). It gives you an opportunity to see multiple neighborhoods and explore different parts of the city. Make your own by hopping on a muni train, get off near the end of the line, and start exploring!

Best things to do in Japantown San Francisco
Obviously taking a stroll in the Mall and checking out the shops and restaurants is a must do. Would recommend On the Bridge or Udon Mugizo if you want some lunch. For your sweet tooth, Mochill for mochi donuts, Jina Bakes for creampuffs or Matcha Cafe Maiko for matcha softserve. Outside the mall, Hinodeya Ramen and Yakiniq BBQ/Coffee are great Pearl Spa or Kabuki Spa are perfect for relaxation. My favorite Japantown activity is actually the self guided history walk! https://www.sfjapantown.org/explore/walking-tours/ So many incredible stories More on reddit.com

January 16, 2020 - Treasure Island Flea Market – one of just a couple things on this list I haven’t done, but supposedly has lots of antiques and a fun vibe · 23. Sausalito Ferry from Pier 41 – a great – and cheap – way to get out on the water. A short 30-minute ride to Sausalito. 24. Wave Organ – makes different sounds based on the waves hitting the pipes built into the jetty. A really fun San Francisco hidden gem for little ones to hear.

February 29, 2024 - There are three cable car lines in San Francisco: Powell-Hyde, Powell-Mason and California Street lines, each offering unique views of the city’s landscape. My favorite line is Powell-Hyde. It goes through the famous Lombard Street and my favorite neighborhood - Russian Hill. If you want to take some photos with the cable cars, the best spot to do it is on Hyde Street and Beach Street, at Fisherman’s Wharf.

January 20, 2025 - Besides the Golden Gate, the Painted Ladies are probably the next most famous part of San Francisco and I loved seeing these unique houses. If you’re a Full House fan, know that the actual Full House house is a mile away! Another local suggested checking out Jane the Bakery down the street from the painted ladies and getting the cinnamon roll.
