I like to find the local equivalent of a flea market or street bazaar or farmers market or whatever - because you get the real feel of a city that way.
I guess in San Francisco it would be Fishermans Wharf.

I'm with you on this one! Along those lines..locate the "cheap eats" because you don't have to spend a lot of money to get good food. Spend time searching the local newspaper's website.
Locate the cultural happenings. Act like a native.

1. Consult a resident for the top spots
2. Make a list
3. Get a friend and check out those spots each day!

Anything is possible to those who believe.
