Just remembered that some people come to San Francisco and the Bay Area just for the food and that I should add a couple notable destinations for those ready for a true dining event.  The most notable of all in the Bay Area is the French Laundry in Yountville (1.5 to 2 hour drive in wine country).  Here in San Francisco (and not  including Zazzie and Eos on Cole Street), we recommend Aqua (California Street), Boulevard (end of Market, downtown) and Michael Minna (Fisherman's wharf).  There are others, but if you want a complete dining experience, these three will deliver.  Reservations are a must (months in advance for French Laundry and Minna).

 
 

Here it is.  A cab or limo ride takes about 10 minutes.  The N Judah also stops close by (it is the Civic Center stop).  This is off Van Ness.

There are a couple bike rental places close to the house.  This is a wonderful way to tour Golden Gate Park.  You could also bike through the Presidio and out across Golden Gate Bridge if you are up for a longer bike trip.

We honestly are not in touch all that happens after we go sleep but we have a link here to help you out if you are wondering what some options are:  http://www.yelp.com/c/sf/nightlife

 
 

From Parnassus Heights, you can either take a cab and get there in about 15 minutes or you can enjoy two San Francisco attractions in one trip by taking first the N Judah to Union Square (the Powell stop) and then get on the Powell cable car and take that to Fisherman's Wharf.  Allow for as much as 45 minutes in case you spend time waiting for either the train or cable car to arrive.
