Hmm - the dinner thing got me thinking - if anyone likes Vietnamese food, and thinks that the Slanted Door would be on their list of dinner places, we might want to get a headcount and a reservation ASAP, since it can be hard (well, impossible!) to get in there as a walk-in group. The same probably goes for many of the other sit-down places - given it will be Saturday evening on a holiday weekend, and we will probbaly be a decent-sized party.
An alternative to the sitdown dinner is to sit at the oyster or caviar bars for appetizers, then do a pick-up picnic grazing through the acme bakery, cowgirl cheese, salads and organic fruit, wine and/or juice, etc. and stake out a couple of tables near the water and watch the ferries and tourists come and go...
And SK - on BART, just find a little old lady to sit near - you'll be fine! You're lucky you won't be with me - I have some sort of magnetism that attracts public-transit-loonies by the bus-load!
Keep calm and carry on...
