Great Range of Options
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I bought this book while I was on my way to San Francisco for the weekend. There are a lot of hotel options, including affordable ones and all the essentials for what to do while in town. I especially loved the restaurant section, which told me the good and bad about all the choices and was clearly written by someone who knows. I later learned the author writes a restaurant column for San Francisco Magazine, so that explained the attention to detail. The book's Wine Country section is also great.
An excellent insider's perspective on San Francisco
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I am the editor of the 2003 edition of this guide, and I think the author, Erika Lenkert, has done a terrific job of pointing out the best of the city. Erika is a San Francisco native, and her assessments are personalized and frank -- not only does she tell you what's there, but she also tells you whether or not it's worth your time and money. Her restaurant reviews are particularly dead-on, and you couldn't ask for a better guide to the Wine Country (where she currently resides). We've also added to our coverage of Berkeley and Oakland, including a new Oakland map and hotel options in case you'll be spending time in the East Bay.

After visiting San Francisco briefly last year, I knew I wanted to learn more before I went back and this book covers it all. The hotel information is broken down into areas (maps included) from expensive to inexpensive. Restaurants are listed by cuisine, as well as price range.Suggestions on sights for every interest from the norm to the slightly off the beaten path.Highly informative chapter for foreign visitors. I even learned a few things and I live in the States.The chapters on the wine country and history are the best I've seen in any one book.All in all, a descriptive look at the city and surrounding areas without the travel brochure attitude - just straight forward facts.
