The best seafood in the city can be found in the many restaraunts along the embarcadero in san francisco, in addition to world famous sourdough bread. Fishermans wharf and the embarcadero are a "must see" for visitors.

We got off the BART at Embarcadero station and walked - it takes less than 5 minutes to get to the Port area itself.
It has a very mediterranean feel to it, with great picture opportunities.

Walk a little, talk a little, stop a while, look around... it's lovely. I especially like the area near the financial dist -- less busy than Fisherman's wharf and the bay views just as good.

Getting better all the time. Spend an afternoon walking it all! It only gets better since the 1989 quake and subsequent remodeling of the area. Always one of my highlights when I visit.

We have lived in the Bay Area for over 20 years and the Embarcadero has continued to transform itself. If you are up for a great day of walking, start at the Ballpark and walk to the Ferry Building for coffee and breakfast, then continue on to Fisherman's Wharf. You will get a great overview of the SF waterfront. If...
