10 Things to do in Russian Hill That You Shouldn't Miss
Every neighborhood in San Francisco has its own personality, from the hippie chic of the Upper Haight to the hipster grit of the Mission. The Marina district boasts trendy bistros and postcard-perfect views of the Golden Gate Bridge, while Noe Valley offers quaint and quiet boutiques. Wave hello to the sea lions at Pier 39, and sample local cheese and charcuterie at the Ferry Building. Sit in on a yoga session in Dolores Park or marvel at the Dutch Windmill across from Ocean Beach.

If you want to see a Diego Rivera mural, this is his most accessible of his three San Francisco murals. It’s also very beautiful and located in a gallery that houses the occasional exhibition.

we caught the cable car to the top of Lombard street, we absolutely loved the weave road and how beautifully it is maintained with all the gorgeous flower's, there was certainly alot of tourist there, some even were blocking the road to take pictures which was annoying for the drivers at the bottom. a lovely couple took our picture:). must be annoying for the neighbors that live on the street. but a great place to go see

SF’s Sketchfest had a podcast taping (We’re No Doctors-Steve Agee & Busy Philipps) the night we went. We were a few feet away from the stage, great seats! Place was packed but Donovan took great care of us. Beers, popcorn shrimp and fries. Seriously tasty food for a comedy club tbh. Show was awesome, sound was great, set up is ideal. When the show was over, we weren’t bulldozed outside but allowed to wait to get our books signed and to meet the panelists. Cool staff and excellent venue at Cobb’s. Check it out.
