Alone in SF for this weekend

Hi all,





I%26#39;ll be in SF this weekend from Sat. night till Sun. afternoon, alone. What can I do in SF alone? I%26#39;ve never been to SF, will not have a car, will stay in union square area. I don%26#39;t have to go on a typical %26#39;tour%26#39; around the city, but at the same time I wanna feel enough of SF in a short period time.



I%26#39;d like to know a nice bar that I wouldn%26#39;t feel weird or insecure to be alone (i%26#39;m a female in late 20%26#39;s), pretty area to take a walk in the morning, a nice restaurant for lunch and some artistic attraction to visit in the afternoon before heading to the airport.





Thanks for your reply in advance!

North Beach, Columbus Ave, Grant Ave, take the 30 Stockton or pony up $5 for a cable car ride (take the Mason line for North Beach), ask the conductor for Columbus and walk about two blocks slightly uphill. Artistic attraction would be MOMA.

Anything you like. This single women whither I go. I%26#39;ve never been to SF, will not have a car,



The best on-line MAP of San Francisco is an inter-active PDF created for the San Francisco Municipal Railway: geocities.com/iconoc/Grafix/CityWide.pdf. I recommend 150% or greater magnification. There%26#39;s also a link that will tell you HOW TO GET THERE FROM HERE. Other links on the page, geocities.com/iconoc/Grafix/FlagMaps.html are a map of our CABLE CAR ROUTES and a superb map of GOLDEN GATE PARK.



«union square . . . I%26#39;d like to know a nice bar . . .»



Your best bets are the Gold Dust on Powell Street, and Lefty O%26#39;Doul%26#39;s on Geary where you can join the singers at the piano bar.



«. . . that I wouldn%26#39;t feel weird or insecure»



Not knowing what would give you those feelings, I don%26#39;t know whether my suggestions would suit your taste.



«a pretty area to take a walk in the morning»



You%26#39;re unlikely to find yourself where it isn%26#39;t pretty for a nice walk.



«some artistic attraction to visit in the afternoon»



You%26#39;ll be where there are many galleries featuring well-and-little-known artists, primarily painters and sculptors.



«the airport.» has many objects d%26#39;art to view; changing displays.



What else to see and do? Only you can decide. Here%26#39;s help:



The ';Don%26#39;t-miss SIGHTS in San Francisco'; page geocities.com/iconoc/Articles/Sights.html has enough to keep you busy for nine twelve-hour days. It includes links to your best source of advice on WHERE TO EAT here, the UseNet Group ba.food, and the quite-good sfSurvey. It also has a WEATHER CHART with a link to current conditions.



The frequently-updated SPECIAL EVENTS page has irregularly-scheduled music and dances as well as links to seven calendars of regularly-scheduled dances, a composite of five of them, and one of dance cruises and events around the world: http://geocities.com/dancefest/Specials.html
