So, I lived in NYC for 10 years, and as a result, I hate looking like a tourist. I never want to be one of those people standing on a street corner with a huge map spread out, even though I still need those maps. Especially in a city like SF, where I have been probably 10 times, I don't want to stick out. This guide is a great answer--enough map to help me get around, fits in my jeans back pocket, doesn't look like a guide. Plus, I found some very cool new places that I hadn't been to before. If you like magazines liek Travel & Leisure, this is a great guide. Not a nuts & bolts, so if you are a first-timer, these are not the way to go.

In general, I enjoyed this book. It provided some great places and things to do that are "off the radar " in terms of tourist destinations. If you like to experience more of the city than just the over-hyped tourist spots and want to get a feel for what the locals see and do, this book will help. Be sure to call the restaurants of your choice ahead of time as more than a few of the ones listed were either closed for business or moved from the location listed in the book.
