A2K Amazon Link to SF Access guides
I found R.S. Wurman's guide, I already had it in my travel books, it being the 1999 edition that I bought at a used book store.
I have really liked Wurman's guides before, his one on Rome is wonderful.
But the Fodor's guide looks good too.
Ahhh, these should be really helpful.
edit - it is helpful already - it says, for example, that tea and cocktails are served in the glass domed central courtyard of the Stanford Court hotel
mentioned above.. (on Nob Hill). Expensive tea no doubt. Still, a possible place to meet at some point.
Aha, I see the St. Francis also has a full tea in the afternoon.
I read a bit about Nieman Marcus, have been in there both when it was the old City of Paris, and recently with a friend shopping. She bought, I watched. Nice bathrooms...
More, more. Tommaso's, the oldest pizzeria on the west coast, sounds really good, between Pacific and Broadway, probably close to the Nob Hill Inn folk.
Aha, I found it, forgot the name, a holeinthewall place I liked once, Osteria del Forno, in north beach, cheap and good. Small and cramped. I remember being the only one in there though.. must've been mid afternoon. It's on Columbus Avenue.
William Stout Architectural Books, uh oh.
Thomas Brothers Maps, uh oh.
I can't seem to shut up, somebody stop me.
