Ask HN: Things to do in San Francisco?
Hi HN,
I just moved to San Francisco and was hoping you could recommend meetings to attend, places to visit and things to do.

There's also a ton of state parks that are well worth checking out within day-trip range. Yosemite is further, but also a must see at some point. There is also much booze of interest - breweries, wineries, distilleries, &c, mostly up north but some the other direction. To be honest, despite working in the city, I do most of my play outside it. Very pleased with the food and culture around me in Oakland these days. All of that said, also very happy to grab a beer (or logical equivalent) after work some day - welcome to the neighborhood!

Now, that's not technically San Francisco the city, but The San Francisco Bay Area extends out about an hour drive with SF as its center. And that extension expands your horizons quite a bit. Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, Palo Alto, Napa, etc...
