I was heading to my first environmentally-friendly event at an infill home built in Alameda. I know, infill. What is that? infill is the use of land within a built-up area for further construction. Anyway, I run into this news story called “U.S.’s Most Over-Rated Tourist Attractions” and guess who gets top spot for least interesting? HA, WE DO!
Fisherman’s Wharf gets the “YOU BLOW AWARD” for being at the bottom for titillating places to visit.
What’s your least and most favorite, anywhere in the world?
Here’s the review by Andrew Harper (and the remainder that got dogged)
It’s very easy to have an enjoyable, fulfilling stay in San Francisco without ever touching foot in this awful place, which has all the appeal of a rundown (and yet somehow very expensive) amusement park. If you are forced to visit, however, I recommend the Musee Mecanique, a wonderfully eerie collection of vin

As the late Chris Farley used to say…
“Oh, Son of a ….”
I grew up on Pier 39 and the Wharf, however, non-existent green awareness amongst merchants is extremely unimpressive and it is looking pretty tore up from the floor up.
I suggest the HornBlower bay dinner cruise for a modest 80 bucks or so per person. So romantic.
Last Christmas, the boat I was on went under the Golden Gate and was hit by an angry current that nearly capsized the ship. Dishes, tables, the band, we all slid from one side of the ship to the other.
Fires started, old people on the top deck were feared to have fallen overboard. No one died. One woman had a mini heart attack and I told the drunk guy who thought he was the captain to sit down and put a pickle in it. Frankly, he was such a dork thinking we wanted to hear his inebriated logic while everyone was screaming and dreaming we weren’t Titanic of San Francisco. So now that I shared, enjoy your ride! No, really, they do have a great track record. Great people, just a scary night for me under the Gate.
Hey you can always check out our vibrant sea lions? Truly. Go seem them live right now on the pier, hundreds of them.
