What do real San Franciscans do and where do they go? -

Hi all. I m going to San Francisco in a few weeks. I ve been there a few times before, but I ve only done mostly the tourist things like the Pier, the Ferry Building, Sausalito, the 7-story mall. Once, I did make it to Clement and I stopped in at one of those popular crepe places and also at a really cute place that made most of their desserts out of fruit. So yummy. Anyway, I stay really close to Union Square. This time, however, I d love to get a more authentic taste of San Francisco and get off the tourist paths. What should I do and where are some great eating places? Thank you in advance. : )

I ve lived in SF since 1985 and never tire of exploring new areas but here are some of my favorite places to hang out and get away from the tourists.The Mission from 16th to 24th and from Valencia to Mission this neighborhood has it all. Shopping in unique shops like Clothes Contact [vintage clothing by the pound], Paxton Gate [really unusual items like a stuffed mouse dressed like the pope], several thrift, book, clothing, and home furnishing stores, and two locations for good vibrations [a clean well lighted place for sexual items/books/films]. The food is amazing everything from some of the city s best latin food to a wide array of other kinds of food. Check out Andalu, Fritz, El Toro, Supper Club, Cha, Cha, Cha, or Foreign Cinema. Nightlife galore as well, bars, clubs and four theaters for live performance.Fillmore between Turk and Jackson is a vibrant mix of upscale and low down. Jazz clubs, the famous Fillmore Auditorium, John Lee Hooker s Blues club the Boom Boom Room. An eclectic mixture of thrift stores, boutiques, restaurants and shops. Just off Fillmore at Post is Japantown and the Sundance Cinema.The Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park are beautiful and usually not crowded. There are parts of the garden that are so quiet that you will forget that you are in a city. Just south of the park is Irving street which is similar to Clement street with a variety of shops and restaurants.The Randall Museum above the Castro is free natural history museum with a beautiful Buffano sculpture garden and one of the best views of the city.And while the next two neighborhoods do qualify as being crowded with tourists they are part of the real San Francisco.Chinatown from Bush to Broadway along Kearny, Grant and Stockton. Grant is overrun with tourist traps between Bush and Washington but the area north of that has Golden Gate Bakery [The City s best Chinese Bakery] A tea house [free tea tastings]. Don t miss the alleys between Grant and Stockton, some incredible architecture, lots of history, and a fortune cookie factory where they still fold by hand. Stockton Street is packed with food stores, go early in the morning and watch as the fishermen deliver live fish to the shops. Some of my favorite restaurants in Chinatown are New Asia on Washington, City View on Commercial at Kearney [dim sum from the cart], Henry s Hunan on Sacramento near Kearny, [don t miss Diana s Meat Pie], R G Lounge a more upscale Cantonese place that is always good. Or if you know and love dim sum visit one of the many locations of You s Dim Sum and eat your dumplings or buns while wandering the streets and alleys or sit down and people watch in Portsmouth Square [Chinatown s Living Room].North Beach From Broadway to beautiful Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill offers some of the best food, drink, shopping, weather, coffee and entertainment in The City. Restaurants that can t miss Cafe Macaroni on Columbus at Jackson, Cafe Greco on Columbus near Vallejio, North Beach Restaurant on Stockton near green, along Green street check out Cafe Sport, Gino and Carlos, or Golden Boy Pizza. For lunch pick up a sandwich at Molinaries and wander up to Washington Square or Coit Tower for a picnic. Right on Washington square is Mario s Bohemian Cigar Store, no cigars just some of the best sandwiches and pizza in north beach. Several live music venues, Beach Blanket Babalyon, comedy, improv and smaller shows at the Purple Onion. City Lights one of the best independant book stores in the world. Just across Columbus on Broadway is the Beat Musuem, and a stop at Specs across from City Lights featuring good drinks and a small maritime museum will give you some history of this incredible neighborhood Even as a tour guide I never get tired of showing visitors North Beach.

I want to travel to usa? -

i want to travel to usa do i need a visa ? if so how can i get one...im from englandi have a criminal record wich aint too bad but aint too good if this mattersplease explain to me how to go about doin this

Since you have a criminal record, you cannot travel to the U.S. under the visa waiver program. You may or may not qualify for a visa. See sites below.

For up to six months of visit, you do not need a visa to enter USA. I am from Japan and been living in USA for 35 years now, whenever my folks come for a visit to USA, they do not have any visa. They of course visit for only 2 weeks.

Things to do in Denver....when youre (not)dead? -

Going to Denver to see a Broncos game on January 3. Anything worth doing or any cool bars I should check out? I will be getting there the night before the game so depending on how late it is when I get there (after the 12 hour drive) I will have that night and whole day after the game to do stuff. I m a 24 yo male so that s my demographic. Which would you suggest, the Downtown Aquarium or the Nature and Science museum? too bad im going in January, I would really like to go see a show at Red Rocks... also any suggestions for a cheap hotel in the vicinity of Invesco Field?

I Searched on this site and got the Cheapest Hotel,Check it out,it also had Discount Coupon Codes for Expedia,Orbitz,Travelocity,Kayak, Priceline,etc.http://freetravel4ever.blogspot.com

Eliches amusement park, Indoor skydiving in englewood colorado, if you can Aspen, Vail, A nuggets game, Water world, just to name a few

the Aquarium is lots of fun! I would say go down to the 16th street mall.. There is lots of shops/ bars and places to hang out!

If you want to go to bars, just get lost downtown. Walk around. There are tons of them. Start with Market street and work your way north. Maybe go up an down 16th. Science museum is cool but I wouldn t go there on a weekend. It becomes a zoo. Speaking of Zoos, I d hit up the Denver zoo. You can still go to red rocks and walk around to check it out. Honestly, it s a cool place but personally I ve always been disappointed with the sound quality there. There are several Headshops in Denver but non of them are really anything special. What might be interesting to you is one of our many new dispensaries. They re just head shops, but they might be of interest of you to check out if you are not from a place with dispensaries. You know, just so you can say you ve been to one.

The museum is fun as well, been a while since I ve been there. The Art museum, if you re into that. 16th street mall (its outdoors though, so depends on the weather). Coors Brewery, they give free tours, learn how they make beer and sample 3 free drinks at the end.

What is the best way to find people to apartment hunt with in LA? -

I don t want to move into an already-inhabited apartment- I would like to find someone who is looking for the same thing in a 2 bdrm that I am, and look for a new apartment with them. I already know of Craigslist and Roommates.com, but is there another resource that facilitates this? I just like the idea of starting fresh in an empty apartment, but I don t personally know anyone who is looking to move right now.

You just named the best two sources. You might try your Facebook or Myspace network to see if any friends of friends happen to be interested.

u can also try Loqqad,unique easiest way for that,keep on loqqing if not added any yet,http://www.loqqad.com
