    Let's Eat!

    San Francisco has a variety of foods of different variety and taste...There's bound to be plenty that'll suite yours! :)

    San Francisco tourism doesn't just stop at visiting these hot spots...

    ...you can even enjoy the city simply by dining out and enjoying a nice meal...

    Forbes Island sits along the area of Fisherman's Wharf where you can enjoy the view of the San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and cute little sea lions. In this location, you can enjoy a luxurious meal on Wednesday-Sunday after 5pm. They offer exquisite cuisines and beverages, so this is more for those who wouldn't mind the extra splurge. But trust me, the serene and romantic ambience is quite worth it! For more information, visit their website at ForbesIsland.com.



    Now, imagine sitting in the dark, next to your guest, in front of a meal you'll soon be devouring...Yet you don't quite know what to expect since you can't see at all what awaits you! This may sound quite appalling to others, and enticing to some. But it's quite an experience worth going for...

    ...Opaque (Dining in the Dark) Restaurant is one of the most unique restaurants there are in San Francisco. It's located at 689 McAllister St in San Francisco. The ambience is quite...mysterious, intimate, and romantic. The restaurant is indeed pitch dark. But don't worry, you'll be guided through by one of their friendly waiters/waitresses.

    Be prepared to guess what it is that you're eating...Because you'll be provided with a surprise entree! That's one of the fun parts of it! ;) Again, this is for those willing to splurge and pay a little extra for that fun, interesting, and memorable dining experience.

In sf-attractions.com, you'll find a recommendation of Bay Area and San Francisco attractions, restaurants, deals, and other tips/advice that I truly do recommend. I recommend them because I've been and experienced these attractions. I wouldn't suggest any San Francisco attractions or other places I haven't been to simply because I want to provide you honest feedback on them. I'm not affiliated with any of these business locations, so I don't get anything from you visiting them and whatnot. I'm simply a local girl writing about my favorite places and things to do in the city. I enjoy sharing these places and activities with you because I'm passionate with what I like to do...Besides, you could use my help in finding some great San Francisco attractions and a few good deals, tips and advice. :)

Did you know?

The Golden Gate Bridge is not at all...gold. It's actually towards the maroon side. But during the night time, it may appear like it's a shiny gold bridge because of the lights :)

If you think that San Francisco attractions are way too expensive to enjoy, I also got a couple of affordable "Things To Do' In San Francisco...Hey, I'm broke too, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the city! :)

...But... If you're more on the "high end" and able to splurge, San Francisco offers some luxurious and exquisite attractions and accomodations for you as well!
