Sonoma Enoteca

Located in a beauI am going to be in San Francisco during christmas eve, any ideas of what to see?
anyone saying "Fisherman's Wharf of Alcatraz..." come on, no. everybody knows about those places, they get seriously boring after a while, and plus seeing as it's Christmas time there's more to do. Fisherman's Wharf is a tourist trap, but it's nice to be at once in a while, but I wouldn't recommend it during christmas.



anyways, there's plenty to do, go to the Union Square and ice skate as previously mentioned, and there probably is something Christmas themed around the city, possibly in Little Italy, but I haven't been there since Halloween so I'm not sure what to do. I'm only 16.
ice skating in EMBARCADERO, there is a really pretty big christmas tree in union square.
