Apptentive’s guide and interactive map to the best SF has to offer

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people in the app development, technology and startup spaces visit San Francisco for conferences and events, like Apple’s WWDC and Google’s I/O.  And most of those people spend all of their time around the Moscone Center, only visiting the touristy/chain venues that are close to the conference.

We think that’s a damn shame.

As huge fans of San Francisco, we feel very strongly that the best of San Francisco is OUTSIDE of Moscone Center.  Getting outside and seeing the investment the city has made in its many parks, experiencing the Golden Gate Bridge in person, trying out craft cocktails, visiting the unique restaurants and understanding how very different each of the neighborhoods requires leaving the vicinity of your conference. But, we realize that part of the reason that people stay downtown is because they don’t have a good sense of where to go and what to do. So, we’ve put together a list of what we think you really should see during your visit to the city.

With the help of our friends Buzz Andersen, Justin Williams, Ryan Nielsen, Jonathan Barbero, Mike Wolfinbarger and Ash Ponders we present to you the Apptentive guide to what you should do in order to truly experience San Francisco. Bars, restaurants, coffeeshops, parks, stores, hikes and landmarks are all covered here.
