"My favorite restaurant is Tommy Toy's. It's really elegant, with
Oriental art and furnishings. My wife and I always order their
Signature Dinner, which is a bargain at $58 per person. You start
off with seafood bisque. Then there's lobster, then Peking duck,
and, finally, medallions of beef. And after that, dessert. We know
the owner, Tommy, so we really enjoying going in and eating and
visiting."
NIGHTLIFE
"The Bay Area is great for entertainment. So if there's a good
concert in town, we go. You can go to so many different places.
Another thing we like to do is go and see plays or musical
productions. We've seen Phantom of the Opera, which is my favorite,
and Miss Saigon, and Chicago, my wife's favorite, and we took the
kids to see The Wizard of Oz, to name a few. San Francisco has
great theaters. Our favorite is the Orpheum, which is more than 70
years old but was recently restored by our friend in the Hays
Organization."
SATURDAY
BREAKFAST
"I usually don't go out for breakfast, but when I do, I like Max's
Diner. It's a '50s-style diner with booths and a jukebox. They have
great omelets and cornflake French toast. But they don't open until
11 a.m. If you want to eat earlier, there's Max's on the Square, a
bigger restaurant in Union Square, and Max's Diner in Oakland,
which opens at 7."
SIGHTS
"The museums are great. There's the San Francisco Museum of Modern
Art, the newest, and some say the best, museum; the Asian Art
Museum in Civic Center; and the smaller museums like the Chinese
Culture Center in Chinatown and the North Beach Museum in the
Italian district. Of course, you also have Fisherman's Wharf and
Pier 39. And out in the bay, Alcatraz Island, which was a prison
from 1934 until 1963 and is now a major tourist sight. We also like
the aquarium out at the Pier."
