Alcatraz, I have never been there once in all my life. Never seen Beach Blanket Babylon nor do I have any desire too. GF is trying to get me to go to the rock though.

Alcatraz, Coit Tower, Hippie shops (in fact I think I've only ever rode a bus through that area). Never walked over the GG Bridge. I could probably count on both hands how many times I've been on it at all. I've stood at the top of Lombard only after ha Ing walked up the steep but straight west side.

I voted "other."

A couple of these are not exactly "SF" but still .... I have never:
- Gone to the Cable Car Barn
- Eaten at Gary Danko
- Eaten at The French Laundry
- Eaten at Chez Panisse
- Witnessed the Chinese New Year Parade
- Watched the New Year Fireworks / gone to the big organized NYE Party at the Embarcadero
- Gone clubbing at Ruby Skye
- Gone to any of the kitschy "museums" around Pier 39 and Fishermen's Wharf

Probably a few others if I put my mind to it.

I haven't done Alcatraz, but everyone has told me that was their favorite touristy attraction.
