Wonderful and quite warm winter now in SF, one of the best time to visit! Let me introduce a pier39 course :) First you should enjoy the view of pier39 where you can see seaports and lots of interesting shops. And then I recommend to visit boudin bakery, which is famous for Sourdough and Clamchawder! Really amazing - you can also have peet coffee, which is a local coffee franchise! After the lunch you can take cycles around the piers and even visit Golden gate bridge if you want. For dinner, I went to Sotto Mare a famous and popular local Italian! Hehe and then I went to Bueno Vista, one of popular bars and cafes which serves great Irish coffee! You can feel the whiskey in coffee!

A popular tourist attraction in San Fransico is the Peir 39 located at the Embarcadero, San Franisco where this is a shopping centre and attraction being built on the Pier where the fisherman wharf is located. Many of the restaurants here are highly priced due to the many tourists visiting the area but there are little cafes and restaurants here that can be affordable if you do your research before you head down. Of course what do you eat when you are at Pier39? Seafood of course! There are many places here serve relatively fresh seafood but we head to a place called The Chowder Bowl to get our lunch fix where this has one of the nicest chowder and also one of the better Google reviews, and of course the go to food is definitely the fish and chips where you are able to choose your choice of fish to go along with chips or a grilling option is also available for a much healthier choice! #bucketlistreboot #sanfranisco #pier39 #attraction #tourists #fishermanwharf #foodie #seafood #shopping
