AHH!!! LOL, my favorite topic. If your daughter loves luxury items, head on over to Union Square. On one side, you will find Niketown (perfect if she's the shoe aficionado), and if you walk down, you'll bump into Gucci and Louis Vuitton, Neiman Marcus, Macy's, and more all in the same "square". I love love love Union Square, but I only go there occassionally because it does empty your bank account

If you walk down further past Union Square, there's a shopping center whose name I completely forgot. On the way there, however, you'll run into French Connection (fcuk), The Body Shop, the biggest Sephora you've ever seen, H&M, Forever 21, etc. Inside the shopping center (I think it's called Nordstrom Shopping Center or something), you'll find Coach, Steve Madden, Nordstrom, A&E, Godiva, and more. Your daughter will love it If you like Indian food, there's a fantastic restaurant about 15 minutes away from Union Square. It's called Maharani (www.maharanirestaurant.com), and it is sooo exotic and the food is incredible. Have fun! I love SF!

Edit: Oops, I noticed you'll be taking a few of your daughter's friends, too. In that case, go to Laurie's Diner. You can't miss it if you walk down to the Nordstrom's shopping center from Union Square. It's rather expensive, but the burgers are really fabulous. The atmosphere is greyt, too.
