I am going to San Francisco in October.

thanks all. Well I must say it sounds promising as in general Awimbers are not the biggest fan of the good ol US of A

Just a far more "European" feel to it.
This is a great bar http://www.leopoldssf.com/
and this restuarant was outstanding http://www.harrisrestaurant.com/

Met some lovely people that we're still friends with (plus they have a spare house in San Fran) and just waiting for the kids to get a bit older before taking them.
