RE: Napa Valley
If you are in North Beach go to Rose Pistola. It is great Italian food. Take a cab though because it is pretty much impossible to park.
If you want to hit some bars later, go and check out the area south of Market. That will get you away from the super shee-shee crowd.
If you want to start in that general neighborhood anyway, go to the Zuni Cafe and shoot some mussels and eat some pizza.
If your pockets are bulging a little more - check out the Elite Cafe on Fillmore. You can take the Fillmore bus to that one and really soak up some local culture.
Just don't go to Burger King while there. If you want to spend less then go to the Mission and pick up a great burrito. It's different than burritos in SoCal for some reason.

I drove through there once, and saw an amazing thing while was there. Something I wish I had when I was in high school.
It was a HS and a winery in one building. I remember I was pumping gas a station in the middle of no where Napa Valley. Turned around and there it was. I was like holy crap that must be an awesome school.
