For a chance to take the family out and have some fun in the California sun, there's no better destination in San Francisco than Crissy Field.

This park is within the confines of the Golden Gate National Park, and Crissy Field is 100 acres of California shoreline that is a favorite of joggers, walkers, cyclists and anyone who loves the outdoors. Additional amenities include picnic tables, a gift shop, concession stand, restrooms, a visitor center and the area also allows alcohol.

The San Francisco 49ers are part of the National Football League (NFL) and have the distinction of being the city's longest-tenured professional sports franchise. The team first hit the gridiron in 1946. They moved into Candlestick Park as their home stadium in 1971 and won five Superbowl titles in the 1980s and 1990s. The team has also produced its share of star players that include Joe Montana, Steve Young, and Jerry Rice.

Top of the Mark has been living up to its name since it opened its doors in 1939. This elegant lounge and nightlife venue was once a penthouse suite and is located on the 19th floor, offering unmatched panoramic views of the city that are nothing less than amazing. The cocktails are expertly made, there is excellent live entertainment, and the clientele is nothing less than well-to-do. Expect excellent service and an experience that's nothing less than stellar.

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.
