Things To Do

The Bay Area is a diverse place, with a long and proud history of Left-leaning politics and Counter Culture. It is also, as a whole, one of the wealthiest and most expensive places in the United States. The area should have something to offer for everyone.

  • The Long Haul Infoshop in Berkeley, is an anarchist library and community space which often has neat events.
  • The Bay Area is home to many book stores, and two of the best are San Francisco's City Lights Books and Berkeley's Moe's Books
  • In North Berkeley is one of the worlds best known punk rock clubs 924 Gilman Street with shows every Friday and Saturday, and sometimes Sunday.
  • The Bay Area is home to a number of great parks for relaxing and hiking in. Golden Gate Park in San Francisco is a lovely urban park. For hiking it is best to go further out to Mount Diablo State Park in the East Bay or south to Big Basin Redwoods state park (or walk across the Golden Gate Bridge turn right walk down the steps under the bridge to the other side walking north a few more yards to Conzelman Road, walk up and West through the Marin Headlands, ).
  • The Bay Area is also home to a number of sports teams, including two american football teams, the 49ers and The Raiders.
  • San fran has a lot of great services. The Larkin Street drop in center is open monday through friday from 11-2. You need to be 24 or younger but people lie about their age all the time and they seem to not care if they find out. They have a ton of food, and numerous services, and can help you get bus tokens, P38s (can openers) socks, hygiene items, etc.
  • The HYA (Homeless Youth Alliance) , who walk around Haight every day, are great for grabbing some snacks, condoms, or hygiene items. They run the needle exchange (monday, wednesday, friday 5-7 across the street from the good will on Haight and Cole st) and will hand out snacks etc there as well. If you have a habit, they give out free crack pipes, and can help you with draining an abcess.
  • Homeless people in San Francisco can get pretty much any Quality of life ticket thrown out by the DA. ask the Larkin Street Haight drop in or the HYA (Homeless Youth Alliance) for how to exactly do that.
