Visiting San Fran Sept 29th - Oct 2nd
Hey-
Heading out to California for my first time, going to San Francisco.
I work with mortgage brokers in Marin County, San Francisco, San Rafael, Novato, etc...
Me and several co-workers are heading out to see the area that we work.
Staying in Fishermans Warf... What are some of the hotspots and things "to do?" Any good clubs that we should go to, neat bars that are a must stop?
Thanks!
-Mike Urban

Fisherman's warf is a nice area - 5 blocks from my office.
Theres the touristy things that are worth seeing, like Ghiradelli Square. Good bars in that area are Kennedy's, on Columbus and Chestnut (about 4 blocks from Fisherman's Wharf).
What business are you in - my company workks with mortgage brokers extensivly.

Rockys on the same intersection (kitty corner) is also good.
Personally, I think the best clubs are the ones in the Castro (gay district) even if you aren't gay. My GF and I go those often. Asia SF (downtown) is pretty fun too. Zeitgeist in SOMA can be fun as well if the weather is nice.
We did a pilot once with CitiGroup of our service - not sure what happened with it, but you guys turned it down. I hold you personally responsible .

Just make sure to bring a sweater, because the city gets cold. However everywhere else is usually warm. Have a great time!

There's always the Triangle. It's center is Union and Steiner. There are nice neighborhood bars in every direction from there for blocks. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends so it's best to take a cab. Plus there is food everywhere. My two favorites are Pizza orgasmica (open all night) and Ace Wasabi's Rock n Roll Sushi. It's probably one of the cleanest parts of the city as well.

Thanks.

Any car-stuff like museums, races, etc?
I'm assuming it'll most likely be cold and rainy in Jan. so hiking/outdoor stuff won't be too fun but is there tourist-y stuff that's worth seeing?
I will have a rental car.
