Bateman, a 19 year old who works at In-N-Out on Fisherman’s Wharf, saves his neighbor and his cat from a deadly fire. He should get an award for this from the city.
The door gave way with one blow, and Bateman crashed to the ground, “halfway in, halfway out,” he said. “It was like a Jacuzzi. My hair was singed and so were my eyebrows.”
Moyles had already suffered burns to his hands and back, Bateman said. “The skin was peeled back,” he said. “He was black - he was so hot.”
He helped Moyles out, slammed the door shut and told his girlfriend to call 911. Then he looked back and saw that Moyles was just outside his apartment, anxious about something.
“He had a cat,” Bateman said. The men opened the door again and the cat ran outside, unharmed, he said.
Bateman alerted the other four tenants of the building, who made it out safely.

I was working out and watching news today over at ClubOne and found that a whale was stuck under the Pier 27. I guess a whole bunch of people and tourists roamed the area looking to get a shot of it.
What I didn’t know was that it was a dead whale. Poor whale…
The Coast Guard and San Francisco officials are monitoring a body of a dead whale that is stuck under a pier along San Francisco’s waterfront.Officials say the body of a whale about 25 feet long was discovered Thursday lodged under Pier 27.
A spokesman from the Marine Mammal Center says it appears to be a young gray whale.

The Coast Guard says the carcass is not posing a hazard to bay traffic.

There are a lot of piers at the Fisherman’s Wharf. But Pier 39 is undeniably the most fun place to hang out.
Pier 39 pretty much consists of bunch of little mom and pop shops, aquarium, and some other tourist attractions. You can enlarge on the above picture to see the whole directory.
Here’s a look into what it looks like when you enter:
A word of warning about Pier 39, DO NOT GOTO Bubba Gump restaurant! It is the worst-tasting seafood at FIsherman’s Wharf! Although I do love the movie, Forrest Gump, Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant is like the horror-movie of San Francisco seafood. (I believe they are still in business due to all the new tourists who don’t know how the food tastes…)
Like I said before on the previous post, you need to go to Nick’s Lighthouse, not a fancy schmazy Hollywood bs marketing.

You will definitely have to check out Alcatraz, the home to murders and felons about 50-60 years ago. It’s also the place they shot the movie Rock. You can take this cruise to go there.
I did go to Alcatraz almost 20 years ago when I was in elementary school. It’s a fun place to visit and a must-see tourist attraction if you are coming to San Francisco.

One of the fun ways to get around in style at Fisherman’s Wharf is getting a Horsey Ride. You will most likely find these Horsery Rides waiting for you to get on as they are kinda pricey and not a whole lot of people take on the ride. I did take a ride about 10 years ago, so if you can afford it, definitely get a horsey ride.

The best seafood at Fisherman’s Wharf has to be Nick’s Lighthouse. It’s a pretty small restaurant but a lot of the locals like the seafood there as they serve you some real fresh crabs and some great beer.
(I did also go to Alioto’s as you can see in the picture, their food is okay but not good enough for the price you pay.)
If you love seafood and you are in Fisherman’s Wharf, you need go straight to this place and ignore all others. Especially if you are visiting San Francisco, you need to check this place out.
It’s not cheap though, it’s still around $50 per person for a good meal and some beer.
There are couple other super-pricey fancy restaurants around with a good ocean view, but they can hardly beat the food you will find at Nick’s Lighthouse.
This is the place my parents and I celebrate any of our important days. (Now, I did tell you a “real” secret about San Francisco.)
I’d say this place is so good, it’s actually the best seafood restaurant in San Francisco Bay Area for crabs. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

You will see Boudin Sourdough eatery somewhere in Fisherman’s Wharf. (They got 2 location I believe…)
They make some really funky sourdough breads such as the alligator and the turtle that you can see in the above picture.
But what they really offer is the best clam chowder sourdough bread bowl in Fisherman’s Wharf. The price is about $6.99 per bread bowl of clam chowder and I highly suggest you empty your stomach to get the full taste of the Clam Chowder.
What do I mean? Well, you need to the clam chowder soup and also finish the bread bowl itself. Otherwise, you are wasting it. So make sure you are really really hungry, so you can finish up a calorie-filling traditional San Francisco Clam Chowder.
Here’s a picture of Clam Chowder I had today at Boudin’s bakery:
Looks delicious doesn’t it? Sourdough is the best in San Francisco in the world today ever since the days of GoldRush where Californians refined it over the years to bring the locals and the tourists a slight sour and sweet taste of the bread.
If you are over at Pier 39, you can also check out another “cheap” sourdough place, which is pretty good:
Now, I’d say almost all the clam chowder is great anywhere at Fisherman’s Wharf. But do try at least one place as you will regret it if you don’t eat couple bowls of that soup on your trip.
