Ask HN: Visiting Bay Area for the first time

4 pointsjlevett4 comments

Recommendations on things to do/places to see/people to meet?

- The tourist trap bike ride across the golden gate bridge is great

- have a picnic on golden gate park, weather permitting

- Don't miss the food scene in Oakland

- I like San Mateo too but I think I'm alone in this

- Tilden Park is a good day hike in the East Bay

- Cheese Board Pizza in Berkeley is excellent. Long lines but they move incredibly fast, so don't worry. Very generous with the slices.

- The coast south of San Francisco is very pretty if you have a car to drive down it. Lots of little pretty parks with good views. A bit cold right now for the beach, but there are hikes, and we have some redwoods.

Thanks so much! These are great recommendations.

You might get more traction with an "Ask:"

Additionally without much more direction the best anyone can give won't be bespoke. What are you personal interests?

Thanks! Will do. I’m very interested in healthtech, and would love to explore some of the Valley’s history and visit some cool sites, go on a few hikes, get some good food, and meet other founders at any healthtech or blockchain events.
