High Budget: All Out in San Francisco

Here’s my dream recipe for an all out splurge in my favorite city:

• Have dinner on the patio at Chez Spencer complete with live pianist and French waiters
• Spend a night at the opera with Irish coffee at intermission
• Have the dungeness crab salad with green goddess dressing for lunch at The Palace Hotel’s Garden Court
• Go for a spa day at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay
• Stay in a deluxe suite in the landmark tower of the St. Francis
• Shop for estate jewelry at Lang Antiques
• Charter a 1960’s wood yacht on the bay with a few friends
• Drinks at the Redwood Room in the Clift Hotel
• Have dinner at Foreign Cinema
• Cap your trip with a sea plane tour of the city
