Belden Place has fantastic atmosphere and great food as well.

Others have already given some great suggestions on what else to do while you’re in the City. I have only stayed in a hotel in SF once – usually we stay somewhere else and just visit SF – and it was sort of an unremarkable experience, so I’m no help there. I’m much more up-to-date on Oakland/Berkeley sites for obvious reasons. ;)

Speaking of, you could always plan a side trip to the East Bay… Once you’ve done that, you can visit North Bay, Santa Cruz, Monterey and Silicon Valley, too, of course!

I love the Bay Area. :)

Definitely agree with the microclimates AND the speed at which the temperature can change. Last couple weeks, it’s been in the 80s in my neck of the woods, hotter up in Berkeley. I wake up at 6am and the sun would be shining and it would already be warming up. Saturday, I was in Manteca (just south of Stockton, about 1.5 hours inland) and it was in the 100s.

This week, my morning commute is covered in marine layer and mist, a chilly 50 degrees – and it’s back to 70-80 and sunny by the time I get off and head home.

Layers are definitely your friend. Be prepared for 50-100 just as a previous poster said. ;)
