Gold Spike restaurant in the North Beach district. (Italian area)

Awesome Minestrone, great sourdough bread (duh!) and cool casual atmosphere.

Don't forget to ride the cable cars. The one on California street is
much easier to catch a ride on than the one that goes to Fishermans
Wharf. (Also known as tourist alley.)

Skip fishermans Wharf and put on some comfortable shoes. I'd walk from
the St. Francis hotel to North Beach each evening for dinner (I LOVE
Italian food, maybe I should find a good Italian woman.) Really cool way
to really see the city.

If you try to drive you'll just end up circling the block for what seems
hours on end to find a parking space. That sucks!
