Hey guys.

Going to San Francisco after attending a wedding in San Jose.

Any arcades I should check out in San Fran? Any non-arcade related must see places?

Anyplace that won't cost a billion dollars to stay at, but not cheap enough to where I will get stabbed/murdered/raped?


Thanks!

I don't know of anything worth while in SF anymore. Maybe one of the locals knows of a place. The Santa Cruz boardwalk about 40 minutes south of San Jose has a nice arcade with a nice selection of classics and pinballs.
 
Cool place to check out in the city is Musee Mecanique located at pier 45 at the fisherman's wharf it's got some old classics from early 80s to some pins and some really old antique arcade machines

For food, go to Chinatown and go to the Snow Garden. Hole in the wall, but this is where the locals eat. It is amazing and the portions for one can feed two! It is the only place I eat when I am in San Fran. Yes, Pier 39 and the Warf! Do it!
