Fun things to do
See All Lists
1. The Kitchen
What an awesome and fun experience!
Hidden at the end of a very industrial location (reminded me of a public storage lot), the Kitchen is a garage that's been transformed into a culinary food space where cooking classes/events are held.
There's a…More »
2. Off the Grid: Fort Mason Center
San Francisco, CA 94123
(415) 779-6684
Category:
Food Stands
Neighbourhood: Marina/Cow Hollow
Take a bunch of SF's fusion food trucks and throw them into Fort Mason's parking lot on a Friday night and that is Off The Grid.
Admission is free, it's crowded, there's loud music, and since it's at Fort Mason, it's cold. So bring a jacket.…More »
3. Off the Grid
The Best OTG yet!?!?
If you're a big group or groups with kids, this is the OTG for you.
Short lines, an obscene amount of space (compared to other OTG's), live music, and live horse racing!
All the usual suspects like Chairman Bao, Curry up now,…More »
4. Bi-Rite Creamery
San Francisco, CA 94110
(415) 626-5600

What a way to spend a weekend afternoon.
While driving around the South Bay we stumbled onto the Hakeone Estate and by the time we left we left, we felt relaxed, refreshed, and reenergized!
Did you know that the Hakone Estate is one of the largest and…More »
6. Monterey Bay Aquarium
Prices are up @ $33 but it's still the BEST AQUARIUM IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
Definitely worth a day/weekend trip from SF even though it gets pretty crowded.
They still have the pool where you can pet the sting rays, sea cucumbers, starfish and…More »
7. Twin Peaks
Easily the best view in SF ..........when it's not foggy.
You can see so much from the 240+ degree view: both the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, Market St., to City Hall, to Alcatraz, the Embarcadero, and to the Transamerica building. A what's…More »
8. Santa Clara Paintball
This is probably the only time I could shoot cops in the face and not get thrown in jail.
Went for a bachelor party.
The bachelor happens to be a cop and his friends are cops. It was their first time playing paintball and I've played a handful of…More »
9. Club Level at AT&T Park
Kinda like a VIP area for a Giant's game.

While in Giant's heaven you can find.......
1) An area with access to…More »

11. The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards
There's vineyards in the East Bay!?!!?
Fortunate to attend a wedding at the Vineyards which was gorgeous.
Their rehearsal luncheon was held inside the restaurant in a private room in the back that seated about 50 people comfortably. Otherwise, there…More »
12. Devil's Canyon Brewing Company
From the Harbor bar I noticed a whole bunch of people going in and out of this little business park, you know the type that looks like a public storage facility with gates and garage like office spaces.
"Oh yeah, you might want to check it out. Last…More »

17. iFLY SF Bay
If you are a first timer, I would describe the ifly experience as if you are driving 120 mph on the freeway and sticking your head out of the window until your mouth and cheeks flap uncontrollably.
Once you go a couple times you'll probably be like…More »
18. Forbidden Island Tiki Lounge
More like the Hidden Tiki lounge. It's a little aways from the main strips of Alameda but definetely worth the drive in checking out.
Pretty lively crowd, friendly. Some random woman asked to buy the T-shirt off my friends back for $10.
Not as…More »

20. Oyster Point Marina
This review is for the easternmost pier on which to go fishing.

Props to the Yelp staff, vendors, and the DJ that mixed in some Hall &…More »
22. Peninsula Symphony Orchestra
Thanks Yelp, Connie C. in particular, for letting me score some tickets (otherwise $35 ea) to go check the PSO at the Flint Center @ De Anza college.

Bar none, this IS San Francisco's House of Beer.
Not as big as I originally thought since I'm always in BevMo but definitely a nifty little place to visit.
25. Buddhanusorn Thai Temple
For a pure Thai/Buddhist experience this place is definitely a two thumbs up. I definitely felt transported to a different land and culture.
The atmosphere is very lively and very authentic according to what I pictured Thailand to be from the…More »
26. Body Worlds 2 - CLOSED
First heard of the Bodies exhibit while in Vegas, they have a similar exhibit at the Tropicana but I haven't been to that one to speak the difference.
I was a little apprehensive in going to this exhibit since I can't really stand the sight of "blood…More »
27. Powell's Sweet Shoppe
Wow, only 3 reviews? This place has been open for a couple weeks already. I would be thinking that this location would definetely be on the yelp hot list by now.

Brisbane, CA 94005
(650) 583-6975
Why yes, I do bring my lunch here and eat in the parking lot and listen to my sports talk radio. If I'm feeling a little chipper I might go for a jog around the marina. And If I'm feeling especially randy I might actually do the exercises they have…More »
29. Yelp Elite Event @ E & O Trading Company
This was my FIRST EVER Yelp event and I can say that I walked away with my cell phone and wallet still intact!!! I did not get mugged, I did not get beat up, but I did walk away meeting some cool folks. So whatever you've heard about the Yelp Elite…More »
30. Sawyer Camp Trail at Crystal Springs Reservoir
Awesome running and bike trail. You'll find a range of people from the hardcore marathoners to the people just starting their new year's resolution running in jeans and polo shirts.
Just get here early as parking started to fill up quick at 8:30am on…More »
