Questions for San Fransiscan's

**caseysmom** · 11-24-2006, 11:36 AM

I know I have come on here begging for help before but I LOVE San Francisco but get hopelessly lost and confused!

I am taking my daughter and two of her friends tomorrow, we always do the pier 39 / fisherman's wharf thing.

This time my daughter wants to go to union square...so my question is am I going to be able to find parking? Where to have dinner? It will probably be an early dinner.

Any other ideas......

Sorry, I've never been

. Not very helpful, am I? At least I can give you a wee bump.

PM RedHedd....she lives there!

I just pm'd her...I dug up the thread I started last time we went and she had given me a lot of helpful info. I think we will park at union square, walk around there and if we want to go to fishermans wharf we can take the cable cars.

Only thing I know is that the cable car station is very close to Union square- so that sounds like a good idea

Just what I was going to suggest. I could suggest a couple of restaurants that I liked, but I was there in 1995 and they may not be there any more.

I PM'd you back - twice

Parking will be INSANE. Try to get into either Sutter/Stockton or 5th & Mission. The Union Square garage will be impossible. DO go to the new San Francisco Centre - it's now a HUGE mall with Nordstrom's and Bloomingdales as the anchor stores and bazillion other shops on 5 levels of spiral escalators. As for food- the new food court at the new part of S.F. Centre looks scrumptious! I was in too much of a hurry the other day to stop and eat, but I wanted to.

If you get REALLY hungry, venture south of Market to Howard Street between 4th and 5th Streets. Buca di Beppo is a very fun family style Italian restaurant - I took LBaker there when she was in town and she can't stop talking about it.

The Powell Street cable car will take you down to Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39. You WILL have fun! I love this time of year in the City. There's so much to see and the new section of the shopping centre will take me days to get through, but I AM going to try!
