I'm trying to move from Texas and am spending my 24th birthday there to check out the area.<p>Edit: I'm currently a programmer analyst doing web dev/process documentation at a private non-tech company. I have a bachelor's degree in accounting. This trip is about 2 months out and don't know or have any leads as to where I'll be working once I get there.<p>I'm not a party person, I don't drink, I hardly watch movies/Netflix or play video games. I mostly spend my extra time working on my side project. I skateboard for exercise a few times a week.<p>I've checked meetup.com for tech events during the weekend that I'll be there but didn't see anything quite down my alley.
we would need so much more info than this to give you helpful information.<p>For instance, when you move do you already know where you'll be working?
What kind of work do you do? (I assume engineer, but could be wrong)
What kind of things do you enjoy doing (outdoors, drinking, museums, nerd-core, fancy food, sports, etc)<p>General Tips:<p>- North Beach has some nice bars and restaurants for a chill night. (I would avoid the touristy parts near the piers though)<p>- Mission district has some world famous burritos and you may want to check Dolores Park<p>- Polk st has decent night life if you want to drink/party<p>- If you're gonna work in tech you'll likely be in SOMA or Financial District so take a stroll around market street and then down the embarcadero to the stadium<p>- A lot of people tend to go to the piers in the north of the city for seafood. If you want to do that, I'd advise going to Hog Island in the ferry building instead.<p>- Checkout Meetup.com and look for any meetups happening that weekend so you can perhaps meet some locals and get a feel for the community you'd want to be involved in
