3. few suggestions: def do the alcatraz 'night' tour, we were all surprised with the spooky atmosphere at night, they also provide partially free guided tour; strongly recommended reservation for all the great restaurant, i mean book them before the trip; the hayes street, the best place to eat, shop, and ppl watching, ignore union street, dated shops but great place to find food; the wonderful food court in westfield mall, yes, a food court, and it is a 5 star hotel like food court where you can find all types of food.
