Definitely do the biking and Alcatraz. You might want to look into doing the night Alcatraz tour, pretty cool. Book Alcatraz ahead of time because the tours are often sold out in the summer time. Giradelli square, the trolley car (although the line can be a huge bummer), Coit Tower, Lombard Street, Peer 39 for the seals.

I have a large list of resteraunts that I love in the city. Do you have a price range specifically? Or a type of food you are looking for? Slanted Door, Town Hall, 1300 on Fillmore, BeetleNut, Mamacitas, Fresca, Limon, Home, Firefly . . . I could go on and on, so you might want to narrow it down for me!

Did I overwhelm you?
Thanks, this is awesome. Food-wise, we would be looking for a mix of the high-end and cheap eats (probably no more than like $125/person). We like all varieties of food, too...we are pretty adventurous eaters. That doesn't really narrow it down, but it would be nice to get suggestions across the spectrum.

So Union Square would be the best place to look for a hotel?
