Bad coffee? I thought Peet's is alright everywhere I found it. I tried a couple Italian restaurants near my hotel and was very satisfied. Seafood at Fisherman's Wharf was good. It seems like a good town to eat in. Traffic is bad during the commute, just like Seattle, Boston, DC, any major metro area I suppose. CA drivers seem to handle bad traffic better than we do. After all, they invented it, so maybe all the experience helped.
