San Francisco's Pier 39 |
San Francisco's
Pier 39 houses more than 110 shops, 14 bay-view restaurants (as of
May 2007). Pier39 is San Francisco's premier tourist attraction.
There was a great deal of activity all around the Pier area when we visited. There are all types of shops - just about any type of tourist-y type shopping that you can imagine.
We ate lunch at Chowders, one of the sidewalk cafe seafood restaurants while we were there. The food was pretty good, but a little on the expensive side (for tourists from Tennessee anyway), but not any more expensive than any other restaurant in San Francisco. The kids say that the Clam Chowder was GREAT!
The shops at Pier39
were fun to stroll through, and the view of the bay from the pier was absolutely
beautiful... but, I did not want to spend a great deal of time there because the
shops that we saw were mostly shops that you see at any large mall in any large
city..... and I would rather spend my limited time in San Francisco seeing all
of the unique sites.
Now, this is just my humble opinion.... my teenage girls would have stayed there all day long!!!!
