I am going to SF in beginning May... I am looking to stay in Fishermans Wharf at the Sheraton or Hilton. I have never been so any help on what to expect is appreciated., i.e. weather, crowds, where to go, where to eat...Thx.
Traveling to SF
«Crowds»?
Clairvoyance required but they%26#39;ll probably not be as dense as after Memorial Day.
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 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.
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
Traveling to SF
May is a lovely time to visit.
Why don%26#39;t you start by looking at the links Swingcha has provided, as well as this one, which is the travel wiki for SF that we%26#39;ve all contributed to:
tripadvisor.com/Travel-g60713-s1/…Inside.html
In May, crowds aren%26#39;t huge yet. People start coming out to play on Memorial Day weekend, though. Weather should be nice -- in the 70s on some days, though in the 60s and below as the fog comes in. (try looking at weatherunderground.com for SF -- you can look up historical temperatures)
Since we don%26#39;t know your druthers, and since SF has something to offer everyone, these links are fine places for you to start getting a sense of what there is to do, then as questions occur to you, ask away under a new post.
Even with food, it helps for us to have some guidance as to what you like to eat. Really, in SF, there are scores of places to eat. It%26#39;s definitely possible, if you are staying in Fisherman%26#39;s Wharf to have a bad meal every day if you%26#39;re unlucky (we had one traveler complain of such), but for the most part, that%26#39;s unusual. We have great restaurants here at every price range, so it just depends on what you like.
