Ripping on Cawacko days are some of my favorites so I'm in! And there is no way I'm bringing the wife. It's bad enough everyone I know thinks I'm crazy. She doesn't need to know people I've never met online think of me the same way too!

LOL Okay, either way I would love to, I think it would be hysterical if we drunk posted together.

It's basically a tourist trap. There are like a hundred small shops that sell 'I Love San Francisco' t-shirts and the like. I've live in SF for 20 years and I can't remember one time when another local has said 'let's go to Fisherman's Wharf'.

That's not to say there's nothing good there but I bet you if you have 100 people that live here to say the first thing that comes to their mind when they hear Fisherman's Wharf 90% of them will say tourists.

It's the San Francisco equivalent of Times Square. Natives just don't go.

Cool, not looking for tshirts when I'm in sf. The warf is really nice, and the crab house is really good.
People go there cause there's plenty to see. Like 100 seal ions playing is prob not noticed by you but the tourist geek out for hours.

I'm not trying to come across as saying I'm too good to go there. I'm just saying as a local it's just a place we don't really go. But as you've said it doesn't mean there aren't cool things to do or see there. It's definitely a fun people watching place and you see a lot of characters that are quite entertaining. The lion seals are very cool as well.
 
Of course, it's a shithole to most locals. 2 blocks over in the French qtr Royal street has art galleries and restaurants!

The best is going to Fishermans Wharf and asking to speak to a local. Other than the people working there, you are not going to find one.
