The glorious Bay Area. While many of you think there is nothing to do here except build computers and play video games, based on Gary’s idea of a fun-filled night; the following is a list of things that you may enjoy while you are here. This page will be updated at time goes on.
San Jose
San Jose Improv - San Jose’s premier Comedy Club.
Great America - Rollercoasters, Games and More!
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk - A seaside amusement park surrounded by the legendary Santa Cruz.
San Francisco
Teatro Zizanni - Set along San Francisco’s historic waterfront, Teatro ZinZanni is a bewitching evening of European cabaret, cirque, divas and madmen, spectacle and sensuality with live music and a gourmet five-course dinner—set in the nightclub of your dreams!
Alcatraz - Alcatraz Island, located in the middle of San Francisco bay, is a must-see attraction for any visitor to the area. One of the most infamous prisons in the country for housing notorious criminals…
Golden Gate Bridge - Stretching 4,200 feet and towering as high as a 65-story building, this well-known bridge is the gateway to San Francisco.
Chinatown - This electric neighborhood of 100,000 people is not to be missed, and it’s not hard to find: listen for the clack of mahjongg tiles and nose out the salty spicy squid.
Fisherman’s Wharf - Yes, it’s tacky, touristy and yucky, if you don’t know where to go. But it’s where visitors must go, so here are some fun and unique ways to enjoy the Wharf. Parking: avoid the Pier 39 garage…
Haight-Ashbury -Center of the long-gone hippie culture of the 1960s, this trendy neighborhood is now a whole new scene with upscale boutiques, Internet cafes and hip restaurants.
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art - The museum itself is a work of art that houses a strong collection and traveling shows.
North Beach - Most of this neighborhood’s former beatnik charm is retained while adding fine cuisine to its claim to fame.
Union Square - A shopper’s paradise, this bustling square near the theater district has everything from upscale department stores and boutiques to discount houses. After a $25-million facelift in 2002, the cosmopolitan hub boasts a huge amphitheater, granite pedestals on which street entertainers perform and a tree and flower-lined environment in which to enjoy an espresso or an elegant meal.
Pier 39 - This third most visited attraction in the U.S. is a hive of activity with rides, entertainment, restaurants, shops and lively street entertainers. You can easily hop a ferry across the bay to Alcatraz or Tiburon, but don’t miss the celebrated sea lion colony that inhabits the nearby abandoned docks.
