The Vietnamese sandwiches at Saigon Sandwich in the Tenderloin were super good, and cheap. Not as good as the ones I've had in Seattle, but better than the one I had in Chicago last weekend. The place was a tiny little hole-in-the-wall.
I think the most enjoyable meal I had in SF was at a tiny little Italian place called L'Osteria Del Forno, at 519 Columbus Ave. in North Beach. That's like a mile from Broadway & Van Ness. I honestly liked my lunch at this place much better than the lunch I had at Chez Panisse Cafe in Berkeley the day before.

I don't know if I'll go again but it was fun and actually really good, though expensive.

Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Hwy aka PCH)Highway 101Interstate 5
Highway 1 will take about 12-15 hours depending on traffic, but has probably the most amazing views and points of interest (Monterey/Big Sur/San Simeon/Cambria/Pismo) between SF/LA.
Highway 101 has some ocean views (Avila/Pismo and then again from Santa Barbara to Ventura) and a few points of interest between LA/SF, but is a little faster: 9-10 hours.
Highway 5 has no views (unless you like flat, hot farmland and a brief 60 second glance at thousands of cows standing atop mounds of their collective feces), but could take as little as 7 hours.
How much time have you budgeted?

the Huntington Library is nice - the Japanese garden especially - but I wouldn't say it's essential. if you go to Pasadena, the Gamble House is an architectural must, Cal-Tech is beautiful, and the Norton Simon is a great art museum. in LA, there's Wright's Hollyhock House, and the Schindler houses in Silverlake (as well as THE Schindler house, whch is ok). Getty is interesting architecturally, for the view, and has some of the best exhibits now. these are all relatively quiet places, as is UCLA if classes aren't on. check what's on at the Hollywood Bowl (and Greek Theatre)? Pasadena is hotter than LA.

there's also Gehry stuff - Disney Hall, obv, the Chiat-Day-Mojo building in Santa Monica/Venice, the Venice Beach House, the Gehry House in Santa Monica, Edgemar and Santa Monica Place in Santa Monica, and the Aerospace museum in Exposition Park (not necessarily worth a detour, but there are also gardens here)

There's also art deco LA - the Wiltern, etc. Which isn't far from Gehry's Loyola Law School. Not the most bucolic part of town, tho.
And why not, I'll rep for Marina del Rey. Embrace the tackiness.

thanks for the recommendation. the pho was so tasty and had tripe in it. yum.
i ended up getting a room at the hilton for $72 on priceline, which was only $3 more than the grant plaza - some dumpy place in chinatown. what a steal. i spent today going to expensive shops pretending to almost buy things. tried on a $3000 suit and toyed with the louis vuitton salesperson by almost putting my name on the waitlist for that ridiculous gold watersnake / leopard print / LV monogrammed bag thats like $4500.
youn, you live in SF?
jaxon, you guys goig out? i think im gonna try to go to tubesteak tonite or, uh, popscene. then the blowup tomorrow.
polyphonic, i guess im not a burrito fan in general. i'd rather have a taco or tostada or something without big mounds of rice in it. where good taco here?
ok!! see you later

BTW, my friend is putting together the Vice Guide to SF so if anyone wants to contribute, lemme know. She need suggestions on where to drink, eat, bowl, dance, bingo, karaoke, gay bars, etc. The weirder the better.
