If casting your fishing line out and nestling in a comfortable chair to wait for the big catch sounds like a great way to spend an afternoon, then make your way to the San Francisco Municipal Pier. This site not only offers good fishing, but better than average results await if you go crabbing for rock crabs. Bring a jacket as the winds are chilly on the pier no matter what time of year it is.

There are many traditions to be celebrated in San Francisco. One of the most iconic is taking a ride on the city's cable cars. They were first put into use in 1873 as a means of offering transportation for citizens who needed a respite from walking up the steep hills in the city. The fact that the cable cars operate in exactly the same way (they grip underground loops of steel to move forward) says quite a lot about this mode of transportation that has survived over one hundred years and is now almost always associated with the city of San Francisco.

Many visitors have claimed that the Japanese Tea Garden, located inside of Golden Gate Park, is perhaps the most beautiful and serene part of San Francisco. That statement may very well be true, as hundreds of people have had the pleasure of seeing the garden and spending time taking in its incredible natural amenities. The landscaping is truly breathtaking, as well as the detailed Japanese sculptures and miniature pagodas that are also featured here. So when you're in San Francisco, make plans to experience the Japanese Tea Garden's mesmerizing, almost intoxicating natural allure.

At The EndUp, the spirit of celebration goes beyond just having a good time. The overall feel of the establishment is quiet un-establishment, as the nighlife destination continues a 15-year tradition of welcoming everyone in for an excellent time. And by everyone, that means people of every gender, race, and socioeconomic level have a place to feel comfortable without the attitude that can be so prevalent at similar clubs. Excellent DJs spinning your favorite tunes, a crowded dance floor that has a spot waiting for you, an area to chill and shoot a little pool in; these amenities all go to make the EndUp a truly San Franciscan experience!
