I'd get another little apt in the Marina and just walk all over the city every day and learn it all over again. It has been many years since I lived there.
I remember some place called the Yerba Buena where I had my first Pims Cup..
I would walk in the fog.
I would eat in that place in Chinatown that is upstairs and the food is amazing.

Aloohaaa,
Did it last weekend and I'm ready to go back again.
I'd have to say Alcatraz since I now have a handy dandy digi-cam that I can have some fun with.
Also, as someone mentioned, Coit Tower either at sunset or sunrise.
Oh...cocktails at the Carnelian Room.(Since I don't want my heart to get lonely, I'll leave my liver in SF to keep it company)
Scarlett-Pims Cup? I had you pegged at a C Cup? O
Kal

WOW! GailLK, how did you find out about Ton Kiang? It is some of the BEST dim sum in San Francisco but usually tourists never find restaurants like that since they are out of the way.
A Pronto Pup is a corn dog...they sell them up at the Cliff House (although I don't know if they are still there since they started the renovations). It is a gooood corndog though.

The Crown Room in the Fairmont for Sunday brunch
Best panoramic view of the city - better than the Carnelian Room, the top of the Marriott, Top of the Mark, the revolving restaurant, Equinox, at the top of the Hyatt, etc.
Great buffet brunch as well - so many desserts, so little time!
(ssshh! don't tell too many people! I don't like to wait too long to get a seat!)

What I would definitely do again:
*Brunch at the Palace Hotel
*Hike to Coit Tower
*See the sea lions (I find them enormously entertaining)
*Rent a bike and ride across the GG bridge to Sausalito and Tiburon

We really especially enjoyed:
- walking across the GG bridge
- taking the ferry to Sausalito
- going to a beach (I forget the name, it looked across to the Marin headlands mostly) It had tidepools with starfish, anemones, sea urchins, etc. and a beautiful view of the headlands and the bridge
- the view from the Palace of the Legion of Honor - or do I mean the Palace of Fine Arts? - the one that's a museum up on a hill with trees around it where you can look in one direction and see the Pacific and look in the other and see the whole SF city skyline, etc.
- OK, the area's pretty tacky, but we really liked watching the seals at Fisherman's wharf/Pier 39
