I'm actually going out to San Francisco in a few weeks for the first time for my honeymoon! Any recommendations? Restaurants, bars, non-tourist traps?

Cool place for a honeymoon. You have to do Golden Gate Bridge of course. Cross it and go to Sausalito and have dinner at the Spinnaker. Call now and get a reservation, if you can, for a table near a window facing the city. Don't worry if you can't. There are no bad views. Make sure you have a camera. Sausalito is a cool place to hang out after dinner.

Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, Chinatown, Union Square, Z St. are all must-sees and dos your first trip.

If you have a car and some time, drive south on Hwy 1 to Monterey and Carmel. You can see Pebble Beach and the Beach Tree. Again, take a camera.

Don't feed the bums when you are downtown.

Have fun. Congrats!
