“Every great city needs its proud civic phallus — the Empire State Building, the Washington Monument, the Eiffel Tower. At best, they’re scenic lookouts; at worst, boring tourist-trap monstrosities.

I’ll be visiting SF for my first time, so doing a little research on what I should do in a short window of time. Advice welcome!
