We just left San Francisco after we spent two night there. We got off the bart from the airport without knowing where our hotel would be. planed on taxi or something. looked at map on bart and had to walk only 2-3 blocks to our hotel. It was right at the gate to chinatown, the astoria hotel. not the best not the worst. but well worth the price since we were never in it.
1st day we were with out car so we walked everywhere!! we walked thru chinatown all the way to fisherman warf. had overpriced tourist food there but the various baked goods and chicken feet (had to try) were nice in chinatown. left FW and walked up lombard st. those hydrangia bushs made mine in ohio look pathetic!! then we walked to union square and back up to hotel at chinatown!! I know this sounds like alot of walking but somehow we avioded a lot of hills!! seen one guy that paid some chinese guy to support him while he walked up a steep hill leaning backwards!! alot of walking but we seen soooo much more this way that we would have passed driving place to place.
2nd day planned on trying some dim sum at y bens. got there late (go figure, cant get nowhere on time with the little lady) about 11;15.
Almost better we did, after seeing the crazyness we expected. looked like fun to me but she was a little intimidated. plus i already did the chicken feet the day before!!
walked back to FW and rented bikes. rode across GG bridge to sasalito and took the ferry back. this was so much fun!! once we got on ferry back we realized we had to get back soon because bike and car rental place closed at 6. so to make it one time we had to get off ferry the stop before and ride back to bike place the walk to car place. droped off bike at 515 and figured we had time to get to car place. found mason st and had to go too go to 400 block. too bad we were at 2500!! made it at 550!
we then took some advise and went to Bahia. couldnt read menu for nothing but managed to find some good sounding stuff with hepl of waitress. wow this was excellent!!! best advise so far!! y far soooo good!
left there and went to hotel and crashed! now im in santa rosa relaxing after a wonderful day in sonoma. cambria-LA-SD- tijuana next!!

Thank you. I%26#39;ll probably eat there Tuesday.
Thanks for posting! Sounds like you had a great time, hope the rest of your trip is just as much fun!
Glad you had a good time. I enjoyed reading your trip report.
Was that just two days? Sounds like you got a lot done. Good for you ordering the chicken feet. I prefer them at dim sum myself, because I think they are prepared more elaborately and much more tasty that way... but at least you tried.
Great post. We did a lot of walking in one day with our family last year. I agree you see a lot more that way, plus get a better feel for the city. When/if you return to San Fran you have to convince your s.o. to eat at YBen a little scarey but so worth it!!!!
