- 🦀 Fisherman's Wharf — closest to Pier 27; touristy but fun; Dungeness crab stands, Ghirardelli Square, sea lions at Pier 39
- 🍕 North Beach — SF's Italian neighborhood just east of Fisherman's Wharf; Columbus Avenue restaurants, City Lights Bookstore, Vesuvio bar (a Beat Generation landmark)
- 🌉 The Embarcadero — waterfront promenade from the Ferry Building to Pier 27; the Ferry Building itself has some of SF's best food stalls and restaurants
- 🌸 Union Square / Hayes Valley — broader downtown options; great restaurants, boutiques, and easy cable car access to the waterfront
- 🚋 Getting around: BART, MUNI Metro, cable cars, and the F-Market streetcar along the Embarcadero — SF transit is excellent
