Talking A New Yorker in SF on business

Sup guys,

I'll be in the bay area next weekend and was wondering if anyone here can recommend on things to do and see (aside from the obvious landmarks)...

I'll be staying at the La Meridian in the Financial district.

I'll have the whole weekend (7/27-29) to myself and need some recommendations on where to eat, hang out, maybe a good titi bar , night life, good bars , etc. etc.

...I'll probably feel bad for partying the whole weekend while my pregnant wife is at home..., but oh well... I'll be too drunk to feel guilty anyways...

Any other tips would be greatly appreciated, such as transportation, getting around, things to be aware of, shady areas to stay clear of , etc.

TIA,

Speed,

The night life days are a bit behind me, now. However, the financial district area affords plenty of fine dining. From your hotel, via Kearny St., you will be a very short cab ride/walk away from the North Beach/Broadway neighborhood. If you have the time, take a stroll down Broadway and Grant . . . Simply follow the sounds of over indulgence.

In any event, I trust that you have an enjoyable stay in S.F.

Thanks Andy.

Any areas I should avoid? What's the best way to get around town?

avoid hunters point, tenderloin, bayview, and anything that looks bum infested. =) market street at night gets a little dangerous too.. alot of thugs out ther wanting to jack your money.

if u want titi's =), CrazyHorse on the 28th. **** star features, Lucy Lee/Mika Tan. I'll be there with a few friends. =)

You are staying at the Le Meridien, right? That was the Park Hyatt. At night . . . Do not head too far south on Market. I would not go any further than 4th St. You will encounter many homeless people in the evenings. The Embarcadero Center is across the street from your hotel. You can opt to go to Fisherman's Wharf.

Catching a taxi to hop around the downtown/North Beach/Fisherman's Wharf area is the best way to move around. We used to park our car and cab it for the rest of the evening.

I am not sure what your tastes are. However, if you are looking for some youthful fun/encounters in the North Beach area, be sure to go to the Savoy. It's a busy bar on the weekends frequented by the college crowd.

I Also recommend the Crazy Horse. They have the best looking "dancers" in SF. It's right on Market, you'll be fine, alot of dope dealers and crack heads around there at night but they usually don't bother anybody. They only attack each other.
