If you're going to go to the Wharf, the area immediately west of Pier 39 is a bit more "authentic", although it's all still really touristy (not that there's anything wrong with that). Not sure if you like seafood, but if you're at the Wharf, definitely check out Scoma's.
If you have time to go out and about in the city, North Beach is a blast- tons of great restaurants (especially of the Italian variety) and bars (Mr. Bings!)... plus, you're right next to Chinatown, which is an experience you can't miss.

Luke, thanks for the headsup! I was looking at that Americas Best Inn Presidio, but if that's a no-no...I'll pass. I'm so easy to please in the motel arena. I've stayed in some crap rooms and I've stayed in some very nice places. I've seen roaches, water leaks, no air, no heat, smoking rooms, nasty stained sheets, etc. LOL I just need a small, clean room. Clean being the most important word. I like fish, but other than that...not a seafood lover. A good fish dinner sounds good in San Fran though.
I don't drink either, so I'm mostly interested in shopping, eats and of course, the touristy stuff.
