I'm looking to add some more quirky things to do in San Francisco, to my blog: www.QuirkySanFrancisco.com. Got anything I can add? I'll even give you credit! Mine is the Fortune Cookie Factory. Boy is it quirky. It's not a factory at all, it's two women sitting there, making fortune cookies. They give samples and even have xRated fortune cookies, but most of them are silly and some don't make sense at all, but they're great for a party.

Start a kissing booth but employ a guy instead.

After you've been to a gay pride parade, a male kissing booth is pretty tame. AsiaSF might be worth a review in the quirky department. Or the "Weird Fish" restaurant on Mission & 18th. Right around that same area is an awesome Peruvian restaurant called "Limon" with a unique menu... nothing quirky about the place itself, but it's one of a kind in terms of cuisine from Peru... not something you see everyday...

I always buy char siu bao in Chinatown whenever I go there. It's like a ritual.

  Did you know there's a blog about Char Xui Bao: chaxiubao.typepad.com/ I need to know more about this; so I can put it on my blog, www.QuirkySanFrancisco.com. THANKS!

  It's a bbq pork bun that you can buy both steamed and baked. I usually get both. There's not a particular bakery I go to, just whichever is the first one I run into. I also hate walking up the hills in Chinatown. I don't know why I put myself through the punishment everytime I visit.

I like sightseeing in the Haight. The people on the streets are as interesting as the sites, like the giant inflated legs...with fishnets...sticking out of a second story window. They look like an advertisement for a brothel!

The Good Vibrations store is good for a laugh, and I loved driving down a street and discovering the HQ of Craigslist tucked discreetly away in a quaint building in Cow Hollow.

How about the formal teas at the Sheraton Palace? A throw back to an earlier era...and ladies must wear hats!

But it's been 5+ years since I've been in SF. I have no idea what it is like there now.

Drop acid and get busted in front of city hall...not that I've ever actually done that or anything...
