Recently the SF Chronicle ran a piece on the perfect day in San Francisco and though the article was great, I have to disagree. Here is my perfect day in the City for singles, romantics and families.
THE PERFECT DAY FOR SINGLES
8am: A latte at Ritual Coffee Roasters
9am: Breakfast at Boogaloos.
10:30am: Drive the 49 mile drive to Baker Beach (if it is a nice day, there is a nude beach at the far south end, near the bridge).
12:30pm: Lunch at the Ferry Building or Greens in Fort Mason.
2pm: Stroll the shops of Union Street.
5pm: Happy Hour margaritas at Mamacita.
7pm: Dinner at Nopa or Osha Thai.
