Ask HN: Student visiting San Francisco any places/events I should visit?

2 points by chrisrodz 13y ago ↗ HN

Hi, I'm a student that'll be working as an intern very close to the San Francisco area for the summer. I wanted to know if there are any events or places that would be good to see. I'm very interested in networking with people and get to know Silicon Valley. Thanks in advance.

Yes! Go to Coit Tower, Twin Peaks, Marina Green, the Presidio, Japantown, North Beach, Alta Plaza park, The DeYoung museum and the SFMoma.

BiFrost has a good list, but just FYI, the SFMoma is closed for construction now, so you'll have to visit the other museums that the city offers.

You should check out some co-working spaces on friday afternoons, they generally chill out and have a few drinks.

Also go to a few meetup groups, but you have to get in quick, meetups fill quickly.
