Perfect book for visitors and residents alike
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
When I was handed this book, I started to flip through it--only to discover I couldn't put it down! As a resident of San Francisco, I was delighted to find the book included all the secrets I knew and then some. Ironic, playful prose and incredible tidbits of information abound, and the index--set up so that the entry for "Parks" is in a box with over 50 different parks listed--is incredibly helpful. The authors pay special attention to the variety and diversity of SF's neighborhoods, as well as taking care to point out all the incredible outdoor activities there are to do-hiking, walking tours, and the jaunt across the Golden Gate Bridge. A must have for any SF-bound visitor, and a plus for any resident.
