Bars are out as I don't drink. What are some cool things that I could do that would be different from the above? Also, are there any good, reasonable restaurants I should check out? I have a car.
I drove thru Chinatown last year, but didn't stop as I had my laptop with me. Anything particularly interesting there?
I'm in SFO on business to attend a conference, so I'm mainly looking at evenings, with the afternoon on Thursday.
Thanks,
Super
Saw some negatives about Chinatown-about it being crowded etc. Well it is-and thats great-its the locals doing their thing. I recommend a guided tour by the Wok Wiz group(wokwiz.com) I have done it several times. The operation is owned by Shirley Fong-Torres, a local lady that is also a culinary expert.The tour takes you off the main strrets -and includes a dim sum lunch(already ordered in advance and delicious). The tour takes about three hours and costs $40 each -well worth it.
