you have 10 hours to see San Francisco - where do you take someone. Museums, unless mindblowing, should not be a part of this list. Other boring shit should not be a part of this list. Places where you hang out and lie in the grass with friends on drugs should probably not be a part of this list, unless it's like "Get a burrito at Can-Cun, sit in

Twin Peaks is a beautiful view of the city (provided it isn't cloudy).
Muir Woods is beautiful as well if you want something naturey.

Otherwise, take them to the Golden Gate to show them the #1 suicide spot in the world! :)

Can I get a malt instead of a soda? I'm not fond of carbonation and you know my feelings towards malt powder.

[shellac]

the statement was conditional upon me liking your ideas. READ THE FINE PRINT

[suziej]

Yeah, of course I read that Joe. If nothing else, I knew you couldn't go wrong with the Trump card of GG bridge...

I'll take a vanilla malt, thank you :)

- bike ride across the golden gate and crissy field
- dim sum in old chinatown
- grab the cable car from union square to the wharf and check out hyde st pier with ghiradelli chocolate sundae or hot chocolate for desert

there you go,

[shellac]

i owe this person a soda but I don't know who Z is unless it's ZDinday

No, it wasn't me, but the ice cream sundae at G-Square is certainly something I recommend for what you're trying to set up. Otherwise you've got a beach or two to watch the sun set. Also, if you can sneak all the way through the lobby of the Westin St. Francis at Union Square, get on the elevators at the back of the lobby and ride them all the way up to the top. They're glass elevators and she'll either say "Wow, what a view!" or "God, no, I'm so scared to be up this high, you insensitive ass!" Either reaction works in my book.

Other than that....Comedy clubs? Opera? Ballet? Lucky Chances?

you can waltz right into the lobby, they're not going to kick you out because you dont look rich enough. There is a balcony next to the access stairs at the 28th floor that has a nice view, careful not to make too much trouble, if you are caught up there you will be rudely escorted out of the building.

it helps to know who this someone is. are you trying to impress a lady or hanging out with your nephew?

[shellac]

it is a lady I am not trying to impress

[sonofkyuss]

so it's a lady you are trying to impress. if it's a nice day i would go down to 9th and Lincoln and walk through the botanical gardens in GGP. or, of course, burritos or Ike's sandwiches in Dolores. if this is a lady then going down to powell station and checking out the stores around Union Square will probably be a hit. if this is a person that is visiting SF for the first and possibly only time in their life, i would go to the wharf and haight ashbury; if not, i would avoid it. if you want to do something a little different, go to the Seward Street slides in Noe Valley or the Sutro Baths by the beach.

restaurant recommendation: Chow or Park Chow (in the Duboce Triangle and Inner Sunset, respectively)

Well, I'd be fucked, the plane ride over is more than twice that.

[shellac]

thanks Sephim. Can't you see the seriousness of this situation. No time for games.

[sephim]

It's SF, nothing is that serious.

Go to Baker Beach. It's a great beach, it's scenic in that you can look at the rich people's houses at Seacliff to your left, and of course the amazing view of the GG bridge on your right. Plus, towards the right is a nude section (moreso on the weekends) which is funny and gross.

Don't go to Coit tower, it always sucks. I might suggest going to Fisherman's wharf for clam chowder, but I know that clam chowder would probably trigger your explosive asshole.

I second the cable car idea because it's so cliche. If you want to get extra cliche, go run around Alamo Square like in the opening credits of Full House. For added effect, you could dress up like Michelle Tanner.
