The author, Erika Lenkert, has done a terrific job of pointing out the best of the city. Erika is a San Francisco native, and her assessments are personalized and frank -- not only does she tell you what's there, but she also tells you whether or not it's worth your time and money. Her restaurant reviews are particularly dead-on, and you couldn't ask for a better guide to the Wine Country (where she currently resides). We've also added to our coverage of Berkeley and Oakland, including a new Oakland map and hotel options in case you'll be spending time in the East Bay.
