Please critique my SFO/OAK itenerary
Leaving Saturday for San Francisco/Oakland with my GF. It will be the first time there for both of us although we're very experienced travelers (~10-15 domestic trips a year on WN).
We are in our mid-thirties; our major interests are baseball (I'm trying to visit every MLB stadium), craft beer, and upscale gastropub-type cuisine. I also seek out (jazz) record shopping and used bookstores.
My GF is less enthusiastic about records/books and tends to enjoy markets (eg. Pike Place in Seattle or Reading Terminal in Philly), museums, galleries, very odd/unique shopping, etc.
Flights/hotels are already booked (all on points/certs, of course) and cannot change, but I'd like FT's expertise on how to fill the time otherwise! Please note we will NOT have a car the entire time we're there. Will be doing BART/Muni/cable cars only.
Saturday:
Arrive SFO about 2 PM
I'm thinking Mikkeller Bar for happy hour, maybe stay for dinner?
Staying at Hyatt Regency San Francisco
Sunday:
21st Amendment for pregaming/brunch?
Giants game at AT&T at 1:10 PM
???? gap here after the game
Staying at Marriott Oakland City Center
Monday:
Athletics game at Coliseum at 1:10 PM
Maybe hit Berkeley after the game? Amoeba Music/shopping?
The Trappist in Oakland for dinner?
Staying at Marriott Oakland City Center
Tuesday:
Totally open - was thinking of cable car to the Wharf (In-n-Out Burger while we're there), renting bikes, going over Golden Gate bridge to Sausalito, ferry back.
Staying at Grand Hyatt San Francisco
Wednesday:
Early morning is open
Flight back leaves SFO at around 12:30 PM
I don't think we're interested in burning the time to go to Alcatraz but open to all other suggestions. My GF has expressed interest in seeing/climbing Lombard Street. I'd maybe like to see Haight/Ashbury too. Thanks!
