I don't really know what the OP means by "different" things.
Many (most?) of the things posted in this thread, such as the crooked section of Lombard St., Beach Blanket Babylon, Muir Woods, and Sausalito, are far from "different." They are very much on the well-worn tourist track. Not that there is anything wrong with that, of course.
There is also LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of relevant info on San Francisco in existing threads. @:-) Suggest you take the initiative to look through them.
