This was an exCellent blog post. Very INFORMATIVE anD Makes me want to plan a long Weekend trip because now I’m armed with everything i need to know. Its been 20 years since I visited S.f. And we Did the basic tourist thNgs. It would be fun to go into the different neighborhoods.
Love this!! I grew up in sf During THe summers and lived There for a bit (my dad lives tHere!)
Burmese restauraNt is hands down the best restaurant! It used to be called burma supersTar, did they change the name?
Cant wait to go back!!!! Love the list?
What a great article, Kristy! My son lives in the East Bay and works in the city. When he first moved to the bay area, we would uber everywhere & had some terrific drivers but Now that he knows the area well it’s even better! I know there are so many places to check out but don’t think you mentioned the painted Ladies, i love standing in the park across the street & just looking at them & never tire of seeing the amazing architect all thru San francisco! Also, for those who are in shape, walk up the 16th avenue tiled Steps, they are beautiful but omg what a trek!
Hi Jackie.. You’re right! The painted ladies are always fun to visit and I’ll need to include that. :) Thanks for also including the tiled steps on 16th. I love walking those! :)
Love this helpful post, as we may travel from ireland to sf next year, thank you. Is the monterey you mention the setting for the big little lies tv series?

Am planning a trip back next week to see friends so This really refreshed this Old mind.Love All your posts and storIes. You have a beautiful family, and maggie could NOT HAVE a better name?.
I really enjoyed your San Francisco travel guide — it’s clear a lot of care and personal experience went into it! I especially appreciated how you highlighted neighborhood vibes and local food spots alongside classic sightseeing tips. It makes planning a trip feel both exciting and manageable. Thanks for sharing such a warm, detailed resource!
