Trip to Cali
 

In Feb my girlfriend and I will be heading to San Fran area for a nice vacation. Current set in stone planes are limited but so far this is what we have:

Fly in Thursday morning
Concert Friday night at 7PM
Saturday head to wine country
Sunday some more wine tours and fly out Sunday evening

What I am looking at:
-Hotel for two days in San Fran, what are some good options without breaking the bank? Thinking of staying near the Wharf.
-Rental car, we really only need it for Saturday & Sunday, but we also might try to cruise the coast. Are there rental services that we can rent a decent car for the day (convertible/roadster)?
-Dining, Thursday night will be Valentines night and looking for something simple but fun. Maybe dinner & a show all in one place.

Mistake 1: you went to norcal instead of socal.

Yeah....well tell Swedish House Mafia to go to SoCal next time and I will.

see you there!

:shakes head: typical socal

Can't wait to see them!

Are you guys going Friday? I know they are playing for about 3-4 days in San Fran.

I'm just going Sat. Concerning places to dine in SF... there are just too many. Many hipster Yelpers around this area, so that is a great resource.

Gary Danko. Yelp it.

priceline.com

bid for a 4 star or higher hotel. ive gotten 100 dollars/night before. start low, and bid up. get another person to bid with you. start low at like 75/night. get the other person to bid 80, then you bid 85. etc.

all else fails, use the express deals option. ive gotten awesome deals there too.

for gary dankos, you need to make a reservation like...now. they book so fast!!!

Just got this Amazon Local notification and thought of you :ugh2:

AmazonLocal San Jose: One- or Two-Night Stay in Boutique San Francisco Hotel with In-Room Wine and Chocolates

I would buy this... if I didn't live here already.

oh i didnt see this. they are going to socal. im going there, instead of the SF shows haha

Check on Groupon.com, they usually have cool deals on there for nice places to eat and hotels.

SF is regarded as one of the great food cities. It's not the streetfood/cheap eats mecca like LA, nor the super high end like NY. It sits right in the middle and most things are in a good price range. Its hard to go wrong with food up there. Experiment, check yelp, or check out this forum; http://chowhound.chow.com/boards/1 Wine country will be really good, whether you choose Napa or Sonoma. I didn't think wine tasting would be fun, but it actually is a great time out.

Would be more exciting if you can come out here in the spring/summer and catch a Giants game at ATT Park...love that park. If you wanted dinner and maybe some live music Yoshi's is a good spot. Here is the February calendar Yoshi's San Francisco Jazz Club | Japanese Restaurant San Francisco ...seems like an R&B group is there performing as well as a pianist in the lounge

Empress of China, go there, eat Baby Quail, your life will be forever changed... Not cheap, bring money.
