Anyone in SF Bay area?

I've got to be out there next week for a few days. Anything a car guy should or must see? Or any suggestions on what's nice to see, do, or where to eat would be appreciated. I'm staying in Union Square. Nope I can find some of those Japanese Mercedes magazines in Japantown! Thanks for any help...

Thanks for the reply Rob...

Can I get a cab there from the Union Square area? I'm thinking it's too far to walk, and I also think the trolley/cablecar doesn't go there, right? i asume that the Japantown mall will be easily recognizable.. Thanks for your help in this...

You can catch a cab there. Its like 5 mins or so from Union Square.

Geary St hits Union Square right in front of Macy's. You can catch public transportation to Japantown. Catch the 38 Geary from Union Square and it stops right in Japantown. Very Easy.

Thanks,
Rob

Great food, good atomsphere, and i had a great view of the bay bridge from my table. It is located just across the street from the ferry building.
