staying at a place in the Mission, looking for some suggestions for live music, places to see and places to eat/drink. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Staying at the Parker House on Church St. Also looking for other suggestions anywhere in the city. Looking at visiting the Japanese Gardens in the Park, Chinatown/Northbeach.
Is hamburger Mary's still kickin? Take the ferry to tiburon if you have time, muir woods, steap ravine, Sacred Mt Tamalpais, and it's sunset!, oops sorry I was more in " the county" when I was A youngster!
Thanks for the suggestions. Right now plan is to stay in the city 3 days 2 nights. Then going to Yosemite for 4-5 days. Solo trip wife and kids at home on East Coast. Gotta pace myself but I have high hopes.
Good to hear Tom. I’m in the same boat with posting pictures. Haven’t tried too hard though. At any rate, I am shaping up my plans for next Monday-Wednesday. Figured that once I arrived and got settled in I would spend the evening in the Mission. Tuesday I was thinking of something like....Take BART to Embarcadero>Ferry to Fisherman’s Wharf>Ferry to Sausalito> Ferry back to Wharf>Greenwich Steps>Coit Tower>North Beach>Chinatown>BART back to Mission. I am wondering if my plan is too ambitious and should I instead do Greenwich Steps>Coit Tower>North Beach>Chinatown>BART back to Mission. What do people think? Wednesday I plan on taking it easy and going up to Bernal Heights before heading to Golden Gate Park.
I went about 4 years ago to see one of the anniversary shows that Phil was doing that year. Barry Sless was playing with a couple of guys in the bar area. Musically I preferred the bar area. Don’t feel the need to return.

I don't see it that way. I can see how people can be underwhelmed by the place.
Personally I love TxR, and I don't think there's really a thing seriously wrong with it, but it's often built up as some type of Mecca where it's all holy GD/Phil perfection, when it's really just a cool place. Honestly, I think it's probably much better if you can go there regularly, then it starts to become a fun place to hang, visit with friends and hear music, often REALLY GOOD music.
High expectations can really get in the way of a good time.
And I'd say that plan B makes more sense for one day. I'd rather have time to roam around North Beach & Chinatown than take so much of a day for Sausalito.
And a ferry from the Embarcadero to Fisherman's Wharf? Do they run a ferry like that? It's only about ten blocks or so.
Yes plan B is what I have decided at this point. Decided I was getting a bit overly ambitious. Regarding TRX it was wonderful but a stand alone for me. Have seen many GD shows and post GD including at least 20+ at the Cap. Like I said I don’t feel the need to return. Other roads to travel. Definitely gonna woop it up, challenge will be to pace myself. Anybody interested on getting a drink let me know, my treat.
Thanks for the invite, OGPZ. Can't say if we'll be able to meet up yet. We're going to try and hike Laguna Fire Coast loop as early as we can but we're typically late starters.
Not coming in until Monday but if it were earlier I’d probably go to the TRX thunder and lightning. Old habits die hard, when in Rome sort of thing. Less odd Treeflo?

Yosemite advice is to get out of the valley as quickly as possible.
Tenaya Lake is one of the greatest summer swims I know of
Lembert Dome might be the best "easy" hike in the park.
