They say San Francisco is a great place to visit when you are in a shopping mood. On the Easy Coast, everyone flees to NYC for their shopping excursions, so I guess San Francisco is the NYC of the west! Right in the downtown portion of the city, you will find the San Francisco Shopping Centre (also called Westfield). With over 130 stores inside this shopping centre, you are sure to find what you are looking for! I think (being the geek that I am) the best part of the mall is that the entire place has wifi. I have never been in a mall with wifi before, but I bet it would be a great atmosphere to just sit, relax, and surf the web! Also, Nordstrom offers valet parking. I am sure there is a charge for it...but like other malls that do this, they will probably wave the cost of valet if you buy something at their store. I will make it a point to visit here whenever I finally make it to San Francisco for a vacation!
