To get the most bang for y our buck at any price point, timing helps. If your dates are flexible, you may benefit from reduced hotel rates. Downtown hotels are cheapest on weekends, whereas the opposite is usually tr ue in the M arina and F isherman s Wharf. During conventions, Union Square and SoMa hotel rates jump, but you could luck out if a hotel hasn t managed to sell all of its r ooms. I t may be willing to offer steep discounts. Another option is to look into hotels off the beaten track, such as in Japantown or Laurel Heights.

5 Pasta Pomodoro ITALIAN Families, and the good fr esh food, are responsible for making this locally owned chain so successful. The fare isn t going to have you phoning home in a rapture, but it s cheap, healthy, and you can make everyone happy here with a plate of lasagna for meat-eaters, a nice linguine primav era for the v egetarian, plain capellini for the refusnik, and some saut ed broccoli because you need your veggies. The best news is that Pasta Pomodoro also delivers. Should you be in a hotel without r oom service, don t stress about taking exhausted kids out once again: Those buttered noodles are just a phone call away. You can find other locations in the N orth Beach, Presidio Heights, Castro, and Sunset neighborhoods. duck tour
