Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Completely revised and updated, The Best of San Francisco is a book of lists that highlights the city's Ten Best lures in more than 50 categories. These comprehensive lists give visitors all the details they need to find the very best that San Francisco has to offer. Beginning with an unauthorized history that exposes some of the city's dark secrets, the guide lists the ten best tourist attractions, hidden lures, museums, hotels, bed and breakfast inns, historic pubs and more. Because San Francisco is a great dining city, the book has dozens of restaurants listings, ranging from best seafood parlors to the top cafes of Chinatown. For visitors on a budget, a "Proud Paupers" chapter points out the ten best free attractions and the cheapest eats and sleeps. Readers seeking a workout can find the ten best walks and bike routes. Some lists are fun or simply offbeat — the ten most romantic hideaways, the ten best photo angles, the ten naughtiest diversions, and the ten dumbest things visitors can do. The book finally lists the best reasons to get out of town, featuring attractions in nearby Oakland, Berkeley, and beyond.
