    Looking for restaurant and other recommendations in San Francisco....

    I will be staying in Union Square, no car. What is close by that is good to eat or cool to see?

    Nope, going for a work conference, so it's just me looking for dinner and other stuff to kill time in the evenings.

    Bluestem Brasserie
    One Yerba Buena Lane San Francisco, CA 94103

    An easy walk from Union Square.

    (This is a walking lane, not a street; head down Market Street and you'll find Yerba Buena between 3rd & 4th street.)

    We have eaten at Tadich Grill before. It was a nice atmosphere. The food was good, but I'm sure there are probably better out there, especially for seafood. We stayed near Union Square and walked there pretty easily, 7 or 8 blocks.

    If you want to spend a few bucks, do not miss La Mar Cebicheria, right on the Embarcadero. Peruvian seafood emphasis. Really terrific.

    Fog City Diner (medium priced cuisine) is one of my favorite places to eat and it's only a mile or two from AT&T Park. Giants are in town playing the Marlins, should be able to get a scalped ticket pretty reasonably.

    I'd listen to Scorcho, Ublender. He's a local.

    Two great places:

    Saigon Sandwich (560 Larkin) makes the best Vietnamese sandwich in the city - it's an easy walk from Union Square
    If you are looking for a great diner for breakfast, try Dottie's at 28 6th St - it's a bit further (a mile and a half), but is a great greasy spoon.

    FYI, both of those places are in the Tenderloin, so keep your eyes peeled if you are walking alone at night.

    Izzy's steaks and chops for dinner. Filet and izzy's potatoes. Take a taxi there. It's worth the ride.
