I'm in the SF bay area and have been to Vancouver. From what I can tell you Vancouver is a bit similar to the SF bay area except much more lush. You skip Golden Gate Park in SF it's like Stanley park but not as nice, but do visit the Golden Gate bridge. Visit Alcatraz. Skip Chinatown, your Chinatown is much nicer and cleaner unless you want to visit an older more authentic Chinese gritty ghetto. Don't go for seafood here since it's cheaper and better quality up in Vancouver and don't go for Chinese food for the same reasons. Go ride the cable cars the tourist love them and take some pictures of all our steep crazy hills. Visit lombard street it's kinda cool and coit tower, the Castro to see the gay's, Head over to the Mission district since you guys don't really have any hispanics up there. Japan town has a new shopping plaza opening this weekend should be some crazy stuff there, and if you're in the mood for some adventure you can head over to the tenderloin district but lately it's been cleaned up by the Viets so alternatively you can go to Oakland nearby but I would only visit there during the daytime if you know what I mean. lol

Sounds like you need a trip to Vegas, not SF! haha

Taking a ferry to a prison in SF = wrong on many levels...

He just broke up with his GF. I don't think their plan is to drive down to SF to checkout a bright orange bridge and an old prison that smells like
p!ss.

I suggest you guys go directly to Broadway!! Smells like p!ss as well but at least it has a better view. Pickup couple of flyers from the promoters and take it from there. In no time you will forget about your ex, or at least until you get back to Vancouver.

Sonoma and Napa Valley for some wine tasting is always fun. There are a lot of great places to grab a bite to eat. Just venture out and you'll find something interesting to do.

don't go to sonoma for wine, go to sonoma for infineon raceway.

foodwise in SF, head on over to Roxie's sandwiches and Mitchell's Ice Cream. places that have been here 20+ years.
