Just booked a last minute trip to San Fran, Thursday to Monday - Looking for fun events, good eats, beautiful places to take photos, etc.
Staying in Fishermans Wharf (and one day just north of Sausalito) - Also one day in Napa, so vineyard advice
Prefer less-touristy, local fav's and art/design related places/activities.
Recommendations appreciated.

and basically, spend your day away from the fisherman's warf. probably the worst/tourist spot in all of SF.

re wharf stay: we scored a great deal for hotel there and figured it'd be central enough to easily rely on public transportation

Osha Thai Food.
Dolores Park for fucking around.
