Take the cable car from Powell St. (just below Union Square) to the wharf at Ghirardelli Square. As you come down the hill toward the wharf there are spectacular views of the Bay to the west (even better with a full moon). At the wharf stop into the Buena Vista cafe for an Irish Coffee (where they were invented) and walk around the shops in Ghirardelli and the Cannery. Pier 39 is within walking distance and has stuff the whole family will enjoy - don't miss the sea lions in back of Pier 39.

We'll be staying in Nob Hill for 4 days and then 3 more near Russian Hill. We won't have a car, 'cause we've heard parking is a nightmare.
We have a 3-yr. old in tow, so nighttime stuff is pretty much out.
We like European, Indian, Vietnamese, Portuguese and vegan cuisines----but, again because of our daughter, we don't do expensive or chic.
Audio: anyone know offhand where I can listen to some Sonus Faber (Amatis or the newest models), Kharma, and/or Soundlabs?
We'll be spending another week in the Bolinas/Point Reyes Station/Mill Valley areas.
Once again, thanks!
There is a place that deal Sonus Farber. It is in the shopping center in Bryant St at 9th St. I don't remember the name of the store but the shopping mall is small enough you won't miss it.San Francisco Stereo in the corner of Market and Noe is anothe good shop.

I've had several memorable meals at Caffe Michelangelo, on Columbus Street at Union in North Beach. Delicious Italian seafood, moderate prices, and a decent house chianti, generously poured into large ceramic goblets (from a painted ceramic rooster carafe, no less). Lots of fun artwork on the walls, always packed with smiling people (go early), complimentary cookies and gummi bears for dessert.

Teh Amoeba Records store at the foot of Haight Street is one of the best CD store in the US. To give you a sense of scale, the building used to be a 25 lane bowling alley. New, used, movies, vinyl. The $2 rack is much bigger than most used stores entire inventory.A block down get a slice at Escape from New York pizza. Or get Thai'd up at Kahn Toke on Geary. Killer Indian at Pakwan. Sushi at Blowfish. Pretend you are Sam Spade at eateries like Sams or John's Grill. SF has thousands of excellent cheap restaurants.
Architecture. Hmmmmmm. SFMOMA, Coit Tower, the Ferry Building, Victorian row houses everywhere. The Fairmont, The Maritime Museum, Alcatraz, Treasure island, FLW's Martin Civic Center. Go see a show at the Fillmore. SF has the world's largest IMAX screen at the Metreon complex.
Have fun.
