Answer 1

The Cheesecake Factory in Macy's at Union Square (near Market and Powell) is simply delicious, plus it's not terribly far from Chinatown, the cable cars run right into Union Square so it should be alrite. Bon appetit!

Answer 2

The Metreon & Zeum

Tour of AT&T Park (totally cool--see the dugout, batting cages, etc.)

Take a Cable Car ride

Walk/Bike across Golden Gate Bridge

Fisherman's Wharf/Pier 39

Ferry Building (Located at the Embarcadero)

Rent one of the mini go-cars and drive down Lombard Street

Restaurants: Acme Chophouse (at the ball park), Zuni, Foreign Cinema, Farmers Market (at the Ferry Building), Not sure he would enjoy AsiaSF, but the waiters are all in drag.  Mel's or Max's are good for teens.  Mitchell's Ice Cream. The Food Emporium at the San Francisco Centre Shopping Center or the Metreon has upscale "food court" restaurants.
