Having my cousins visit SF for the first time gave us a great opportunity to be tourists in a city that we have visited tons of time already....what an awesome experience we had seeing what felt like the whole city by foot. Here's a brief of our itenerary:
Friday: Stayed at the Westin on Market- awesome location, great hotel. Shopped at Jeremys (http://www.jeremys.com/) and walked to Firenze by Night in North Beach for an amazing and authentic Italian meal. Walked around and checked out Bix in the Financial District before crashing.
Saturday: Walked walked walked. We went straight to the Embarcadero for the Saturday Famer's Market- it is so awesome! We stood in line for the well-worth-it Blue Bottle coffee, sifted through beautiful flowers and delicious looking foods, and checked out some awesome local art. We made our way to Coit Tower for an amazing view of the city, and all the way to Lombard Street- yes, still by foot. So the way to go! You run into awesome local neighbordhoods and areas, so much to see while getting a great workout! From Lombard we made our way to the Marina District where I fell in love. This is such a cute area! And the Tipsy Pig for lunch- LOVED IT. The food was great! The ambiance was amazing. Wonderful. We continued on our journey on foot to the Palace of Fine Arts. So gorgeous. Onto the shore heading towards the Golden Gate Bridge....where on our way up, Matthew proposed! Down on one knee...in front of my mom, brother, and cousins. Perfect :). This crazy day was not even over yet! We went to Maykadeh for a great Iranian dinner, and out for a drink and dueling pianos at Foley's. PHEW!!!
Sunday: Another great meal started our last day together, we had breakfast at Mo's Diner. Yummm! We headed over to Pier 31 to board a ferry over to Alcatraz. So spooky but really interesting. By the time it was over, the rain was pouring and it was time to part.
