Thanks Gary for letting me know about this
!
I would like to add Fort Point to the list . It's right at the bottom of the Golden Gate Bridge .
I didn't get inside that day b/c the place was closed . I think they open only Thurs-Sun .
Fort Point is in the Presidio area : a vast park that you can almost shoot anything on it .
You can walk from the Fort right onto the Bridge itself !
Parking is free by the last exit on US 101 just before the bridge . Skip the paid spaces . There are free places on the left of that road a short distance away .
We can follow the 19th Avenue South to Clement Street . It's a "Local China Town" around there - left of 19th . You can eat your heart out cheap with many options . Just make sure you have plenty of changes with you for parking meters !
