<p>Go to north beach for dinner. THe stinking rose is fun!! Also there is a great music club at grant and green, not the one on the corner (its okay but more rigged) while the one next to it is a great irish pub with great bands</p>
<p>For outsideland, do the layer thing, its how we roll here in the city. I live a few blocks from golden gate park and the temperature can shift 30 degrees in a day. my daughters attended outside lands last year and had a blast- pleasant crowd, great venues. If you stay downtown, take the N-Judah train to 9th and then its an easy walk (follow the crowds).</p>
<p>And pm me if you want my number- if you are lost or need advice, I know the area really well. </p>
<p>And if you end up in “the end up” club, you will be fine!! Was on muni yesterday- guy in leather chaps and not much else and 5 real nuns. </p>
<p>Also the neighborhood near the park has some great restaruants-park chow, pacific catch, bistro, curry places, nothing too fancy, but easy atmospheres. </p>
<p>There will be hotel rooms available I am sure. If you let me know where you are staying I can give you some types on transporation.</p>
<p>For once in a lifetime meals, what kinds of food-
japanese, indian, french, italian, some of the best restaurants are not in the tourist areas</p>
<p>L’Avenue is amazing</p>
<p>Oh yeah, something fun and different is the “dueling pianos” at johnny foleys in union square- good san francisco and irish pub food, and downstairs its a laugh and music riot with the dueling pianos!!!
Again, I live really close to GGP- can hear the concert from my roof</p>
