Product Description
In the palm-sized Not For Tourists Guide To San Francisco, you will find all the maps, resources, and practical information you will need to negotiate your way around thie city. If you need kids' activities for visiting nieces, or nude beaches for your college buddies, or if its midnight and you need to find the closest open gas station or a locksmith because your roommate locked you out... NFT has the answer. To keep up with the revolving nature of city business, we've updated all of our listings, because we know how embarrassing it is to take a first date to a closed establishment. We've also added new sections on exciting spots around the Bay Area including Mill Valley, Oakland, Angel Island, Pacifica Beach and Fort Funston. And a new Wi-Fi page gives you the latest on wireless Internet hotspots. This guide lets you take advantage of the wealth of local services and resources surrounding you in San Francisco.

 Hard to beat for the lowdown around town. January 8, 2009

I've used the NFT New York guide with great success and found it to also be an invaluable companion in San Francisco. This is the guide you REALLY want in every city. Organization and portability are half of the attraction of NFT (everything organized by nieghborhoods.) The incredible inclusiveness is the other half. Want to find the nearest 24 hour drugstore or pizza, best way to get to Coit Tower, hours of operation for the Palace of Fine Arts? Look no further than this pocket-sized marvel. The San Francisco version is a little disappointing in the lack of a bus map. I got a bus map and tucked it inside NFT. The NYC edition has this info. Otherwise, I couldn't ask for more.

I love the NFT series of books, and this one is no exception! It's full of useful information, it's well organized, and it's pretty funny.
NFT is a cool company, and you can actually view their books on their site for free. However, at this price, it's well worth your money to have the whole book in a convenient portable format.
I have bought these as gifts several times, as well as for myself. I highly recommend them.
So Informative! September 26, 2008

I love this series of books. It tells you all of the places to go to live day to day. When I am traveling and staying for a long period of time, I try to stay in an apartment or condo so I can make my own meals. Books like this are so helpful to tell you where simple things like drugstores and grocery stores are. I previously purchased the Boston and New York NFT books and used them often while visiting.
great guide September 9, 2008
NFT for any city are great. It definately doesn't highlight overly touristy areas. I had some visitors and was using my NFT to navigate our day and thinking there wasn't much in a particular area we stumbled into a major tourist trap. No big deal but funny that there wasn't anything on the map. Other than that it is a perfect guide for a newly relocated city dweller.

We just moved to San Francisco and have used this little book constantly. It is compact enough that we do not mind pulling it out to read in public and do not fear looking like lost tourists. It is SUCH a complete guide to any interest you have in the city. We bought the SF tourist guides, the Cheap Bastard's Guide (also useful), but once we find our niche here we will still use this book as a great reference tool. It's easy to navigate, provides street & public transit maps we couldn't find elsewhere, and really helps you feel like you know what's going on. Buy it!
