I was just reading this again and really, GM, San Francisco is a ridiculously huge party town if you've ever visited or lived here much. From the many street fairs and festivals to the nightclub, bar, lounge, theater, arts, music scene, SF has it all. Really only a few cities
in the WORLD, much less the US, can compare to SF. Read somewhere that if you visited a different bar, lounge, nightclub in SF each day, it will take two years to visit them all.
Now, Sac and San Jose or Portland is a much fairer comparism. I have been to SJ many times before but only twice in the last two years so I can't really give a good assessment in todays world, as we were mostly in the Santana Row area. But SJ even back then was not much better than Sac. Been to Portland about four times in the last two years and I would say Sac is comparable to Portland but I give Portland the edge. In Portland, they have a livelier downtown and Pioneer square and old town area has many of the bars, clubs and restaurants. You can walk from place to place in many parts of downtown or take the free light rail. Seattle is another nice place that I visited twice but not in the last five years. Seattle had, or still has, a great live music scene but not many large dance/nightclubs. 'Twas still a fun city. And yes, I do agree that Sac does have hotter women than San Jose or Portland. But San Francisco has hotter looking women (walking around the financial district here at lunch can give you neck cramps) day or night. Miami had the hottest looking exotic women (luv that city).
In the travels I have done in the US, I'd say Miami, LA, Chicago and New York were closer to SF and Denver, Portland and Orlando were more like Sacramento party wise.
