The SF tourist trap of the century. Great views, lively ambiance and the best clam chowder bread bowel in the world. Pass on the tourist memorabilia and get the same stuff cheaper in China Town but DO NOT pass on the clam chowder bread bowl. Also make sure to check out the sea lions and maybe even take a trip through the Aquarium.
