Ask HN: What should I do in San Fransisco?
2 comments
Places I visited on my free half-day after Google I/O:
- Cable Car Museum: http://www.cablecarmuseum.org/museum.html . You can stand within a few feet of the generators and wheels that power the whole system, it's a brilliant 19th century hack. (And of course ride the cars).
- Musée Mécanique: http://www.museemecaniquesf.com/ . Huge collection of playable vintage-to-modern arcade machines.
- Coit Tower: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coit_Tower. Fantastic views and murals.

First on the list: Learn to spell "San Francisco".
My fiancee and I will be visiting San Fransisco in a few weeks. Are there some awesome touristy-to-not-so-touristy activities/sights/hits/misses that we should absolutely not miss?
My lady and I are both into science and technology (I'm an epidemiologist, she's a MD), but also sports, wine, good food, all the good stuff.
We're also always up for meeting new people. Although we're not entrepreneurs or hackers (yet), we're reasonably interesting!
I'd appreciate any suggestions!
