    I don’t know really what to say. Pier 39 and Fisherman’s Wharf May have been cool tourist destinations once but now they’re tourist traps. Only good for seeing the seals

    Make sure to visit the sea lions on the NW corner of the pier! Their antics will keep you engaged for hours.

    The best clam chowder in a bowl is the first one you see on the right. Don't bother trying the other ones. They might all look the same, but they don't taste it.
