Things to do in San Francisco for Earth Day

Things to do in San Francisco for Earth Day is to join an urban trek San Francisco tour. An urban trek is basically a San Francisco walking tour to give visitors an IMMERSIVE San Francisco EXPERIENCE, and taking public transportation (i.e. electric & hybrid Muni buses) is incorporated to get to farther places or places that are harder to walk to (i.e. up the hill). Therefore, joining an urban trek is a totally ECO-FRIENDLY way to tour San Francisco that will lessen your carbon footprint during your San Francisco visit.

Get off the tour bus, urban trek with us! The BEST way to really EXPERIENCE San Francisco.

Things to do in San Francisco - Awesome Seafood

This #UrbanTrekUSATips by Urban Trek USA a SMALL GROUP San Francisco tour. Joining an urban trek walking tour in San Francisco is the BEST city tour to provide visitors with an IMMERSIVE San Francisco EXPERIENCE.

Things to do in San Francisco is awesome seafood at Woodhouse Fish Co. They have two locations in San Francisco: one in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood (1914 Fillmore, between Pine & Bush) and the original in the Mission/Castro neighborhood (2073 Market Street, @14th Street). Woodhouse Fish Co. is my most favorite restaurant because of the awesome seafood and - more important - is the great service of the staff. Woodhouse Fish Co. is a family-owned business, which adds to its remarkability. Another big plus is their casual homey atmosphere. No pretentiousness.

If you are a fan of oysters, their $1 Oyster Tuesday is not to be missed. That is a BARGAIN!

My most favorite dishes on their regular menu are the Toasted Buttered Dungeness Roll, Cioppino, Crab Cakes, Lobster Roll and Clam Chowder. The various pasta entrees that they changes frequently are always a winner. They have a Special board and on those occasions I ordered one of the items, I have never been disappointed. Last Thursday I had the Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna. Delicious!

Things to do in San Francisco - Jack Early Park

Things to do in San Francisco - Jack Early Park is a tiny park in Telegraph Hill that has a pretty nice view. If you are in the North Beach and Telegraph Hill neighborhood check out this quaint park. Well, basically it is a lookout point where you will see the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Bay Bridge and all the other beautiful views around San Francisco Bay. (Note: I think this would be a good place to propose to someone because of the quaintness, the view and being somewhat of a hidden surprise.)

Things to do in San Francisco - Chocolate at Dandelion Chocolate

Things to do in San Francisco - Delicious chocolate at Dandelion Chocolate. Their factory and main cafe is located in the Mission District, 740 Valencia Street, between 18th & 19th Streets. They also have a stall at the Ferry Building but not everything offered at the factory/cafe is offered in the Ferry Building location (e.g. Chef Tasting). Pretty much everything is my favorite. If I had to choose my three top favorites, it would be the Frozen Hot Chocolate, the Chef Tasting (selection changes every now and then) and the European Hot Chocolate (very thick hot chocolate). I just tried their new Carrot Cake and it could be one of my top three favorites.

Chef Tasting - Selection changes every now and then. This photo was from a while back. Current selection has two different items.

European Hot Chocolate - You can have more than one marshmallow, but don't abuse their generosity.
Also, too bad they do not offer churros because this would be excellent with churron.

Who would not like this especially on a hot day?

Hot chocolate is always a comfort especially on cold or rainy days.

Better than wine flights? Selection also changes now and then.

This is a new item and it could be one of my top 3 favorites.

Things to do in San Francisco - North Beach Seafood

Things to do in San Francisco - Delicious seafood in the North Beach neighborhood at Betty Lou's Seafood & Grill (318 Columbus, at Grant). It is said the Cioppino was invented by the Italian fishermen who lived in the North Beach area in the past. Betty Lou's offers an excellent Cioppino. My other dishes that are very good are the Petrale Sole, the Clam Chowder and the Ceasar Salad.

Another aspect of Betty Lou's that is appealing is its casual homey atmosphere. No pretentiousness here.

Things to do in San Francisco - Chinatown Food (Egg Custard Tart)

Things to do in San Francisco - Delicious egg custard tart at Golden Gate Bakery in Chinatown. The egg custard tart at Golden Gate Bakery has a flaky crust and it is especially good when still warm from the oven. Usually, there is a line of people wait to but the delicious treat. The last time I was there, I waited for around 20 minutes. I was killing time so it was worth the wait. So if you are in Chinatown near Grant Street between Jackson & Pacific Streets, check out the egg custard tart at Golden Gate Bakery.

Note: There are times when they are closed for "vacation" for a number of months or randomly on certain days. Therefore, be prepared to be disappointed :-(  if they are not open.
