Is Angel Island and Alcatraz a must-see? Been to isle (?name) next to bridge; and been to wharf already.

Angel Island is a good place to picnic. Alcatraz is fun, a piece of Americana. My recommendation (if possible) is take a side trip to the vineyards in the Sonoma/Napa valley. If you like to wine and dine in beautiful settings that's the place to go. If you can't get out of SF try Ghiardelli square and the cannery for sightseeing (shops & eateries).My favorite restaurant is Alliotos on the wharf.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

My sister was in SF a few months ago and got the last ticket to see Alcatraz and couldn't get to Angel's Island. Both are very popular, so plan in advance! You also might enjoy a side trip to Sausalito--very picturesque. As for wining and dining, check GOURMET or anyother reputable food magazine for the latest places. Personally, I'd avoid the wharf restaurants...mediocre and overpriced.

We liked LuLu at 816 Folsum St
(415)495-5775 It's busy, interesting menu, good wine list (that's hard NOT to find in SF). You probably need a reservation. Take a cab there, they'll call one for you when it's time to go. This place is convenient to the convention center (it is SOMA - south of Market), but definately a cab from Union Square area.

I live in the Bay Area. Book Alcatraz in advance, usually 3 - 4 days is enough. Interesting tour. Good scenic spot is on the west side of Golden Gate Bridge. Drive up that road and you are looking back to the City and out to the ocean. Napa also great. Plenty to see. We found that Francis Ford Coppola's winery to be interesting---Niebaum Coppola. He has all his awards stored there and grounds are beautiful. He bought the winery in 1972 with the money he made making the Godfather movie. Any other questions, email me. You will enjoy our City.
