If you are in San Francisco for a weekend and are looking for something to do on a Saturday afternoon try venturing down to the Ferry Building.

Located right on the bay, it is home to many restaurants and shops. Often there is a sort of flea market out in front featuring local artists and jewelry makers.

As you enter you will find a potpourri of things to do. There's a wonderful and lively oyster bar with great views of the incoming and outgoing ferries, a champagne and caviar bar, seafood restaurants and Mexican fare.

Need to shop? A nice array of stores in a relaxed atmosphere.

All in all a very nice way to fritter away a few hours in one of San Francisco's most beautiful locations.
