BT Posted – 07/17/2005 : 15:26:33 I have made it my lifes work to make sure tourists know there is a big city out there beyond Fisherman’s Wharf which is, after all, a tourist trap
Right! And if tourists visit Paris stay away from the Eiffel tower, in New York don’t bother visiting the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Big Ben and Buckingham Palace in London is a waist of time. Visiting Egypt for the first time? stay away from the Pyramids they’ll only try to sell you a "T" shirt, The Grand Canyon ha! another joke. And for Gods sake stay away from the "Strip" while in Las Vegas. The French quarter in New Orleans another money garbing tourist trap the same as when visiting Baltimore please don’t eat any "crab cakes" cuz that is what all the tourist do…………. same with Philly cheese steaks … don’t even go into Philadelphia every body does that…. And ooh did I mention Fisherman’s Wharf in SF? ……………..
BT old ship mate let the tourist be tourist…..it’s what they do best…………… First time visitors to San Francisco MUST walk through Fisherman’s Wharf. Have a crab cocktail, drink an Irish coffee at the BV, a chocolate bar at Ghirardelli’s………… and ride a cable car if the line isn’t to long.
All your recommendations are awesome for there next trip………….. I don’t think they’ll want to do Fisherman’s Wharf again, but then again maybe they do.
