SAN FRANCISCO Day Trip | Pier 39 | Ferry Building | Chinatown 

I love how your videos are so simple and authentic! No clickbait title, ads, fancy editing, fancy thumbnails, etc. Love your channel!

I really love how sweet and loving of a couple y’all are. Also how genuine and non staged your videos are. Keep up the good work y’all!! Love the videos!!!

At least you had the place to yourselves. It's always nice to go there in the evening when there is less of a crowd. Antique arcade is always fun next to The Franciscan.

Sf native here 64years no sea lions at pier 39 because this time of year they are in the ocean,lots of salmon out there and bait fish to eat,plus it's mating season they go down the coast to rocky places to give birth,they will be back in Aug- sept

You both are true soulmates! The love you show each other is so pure and beautiful ♡

Adorable couple... our family loves you guys. Thanks for a great video... take care

Definitely like a Ghost town compared to normal. Definitely strange times. Love that you two are still getting out doing what you love doing.

Hi guys liz from scotland here I was in San Francisco 3 years ago loved it it's heartbreaking to see it so empty same as vegas love that too love your videos stsy safe see you next time

My home town SF! It is crazy to see everything deserted! It looks a lot like a ghost town. I was dying with the Acme bread sandwiches! They do have the best bread! Happy to see you out in the sunshine 🌞

We are dying out here and appreciate your videos to let people know please come and have a good time. Just mask and distance. Many young people don't. If I knew you were here I would have bought you lunches. Your videos are invaluable. Thanks.

Hi guys! I’m glad you tried Chowders. It’s great, isn’t it! Like I said, we use to have Boudins, back in the 90’s when we were dating and couldn’t really afford to splurge on a fancy meal. One day, the line to Boudin’s was really long so we tried Chowders. We would get one bowl of chowder in a sourdough bowl and also get an order of chicken strips and an order of fried zucchini and one Coca Cola. Yep, we shared everything. And you could get a refill of chowder for a dollar. We could get all that food for less than $15 back then which was a lot cheaper than two bowls of Boudins chowder. And 30 years later, we still go to Chowders whenever we’re in that area, and still share the food. Its definitely not $15 anymore but we still get the same items. It’s a tradition!

I love how you two seem so in love, Lisa still gets those butterfly eyes.

Wow so sad to see so many restaurants are closed in Chinatown, hoping they're doing well :)

Thank you for showing us San Francisco. Yes, that looked kinda of sad but also peaceful. Yes, go back to Las Vegas! I never get tired of your adventures there. :)

What a shock to see you are back in my city and no contact. Many of your comments seem to refleck you did not check things out before making your trip. City has been sheltered in place since March. Just recently some places are able to serve outside seating. No indoor. And many have been closed since March. Many residents are without work and hence income. Tourists are not coming from domestic nor international and no conventions. Las Vegas is without conventions as well and hence they are not crowded during the week. I am happy you were able to find a few places to eat. I AM VERY HAPPY my mayor and our state are taking care to not have spikes with those infected with Covid virus. jmo

Thanks for posting this video. My elderly parents were considering going to the city to walk around these same areas as they did before the pandemic and i referred them to this video to see what the scene was like and get a sense of how crowded and safe it was. Your adventurousness and love for food and travel benefits us all in many ways. i also told them about your story that i gathered from your Q&A vids and you have some new fans!

11th big bill on his day trip living life.... great video guys love how yall risk it all for us viewers so we can have entertainment.... Thanks again your #1 Fan Jay

Thank you guys, I live an hour outside of the city and was contemplating on going in the city wanted to see if anything was open , there was a recent fire at the pier. Its good to see there's still a few spots open. Happy traveling !

You’re in SF! Unfortunately majority of the businesses are still closed for covid here. If you came outside of SF, more things are open! Chinatown next time go to golden gate fortune cookie!

We missed the bread bowl chowders & Little Italy for our day there. And so sad you missed the seals! Our son was not as patient as you with the hills of that great city...but he was 9. Great vid!!!

Wow, things are so quiet in San Fran. Nice video!

Sad to see so eerie quiet. Congrats on hitting 16K it only took 1 or 2 days that is amazing. It sounds like you will be heading to Vegas, stay safe 👍

You two are absolutely The Best... San Francisco is my home town and I was thinking of coming to visit.. I live in Charlotte North Carolina now it's nice to see my city again.. at least I know what to expect if I decide to come back home for visit.. thank you and keep up the good work. 🙂

When I worked for the airlines we loved going to SF for the food. Soul food at Brenda's on Polk st, rooftop bar at El Techo's on Mission st and our son worked at Seven Hills on Hyde. So sad to see all the places shutdown.

These people are an inspiration!! You can be safe, but gotta live your life. God bless you guys and its awesome that you are trying to jump start travel in our country, and those businesses that deserve all of support.

you guys are so adorable 😍

Good job of finding places open to explore with so much closed. Would love to see a red chowder shootout the next time with a sourdough bagel!

Good to know what's happening to the city. Happy travels!

Great video! You two are awesome. This video helped me relax.

Hi there Lisa and Bill, My wife and I have become your devoted followers on your channel. As we can see that you both make a wonderful and loving couple 🥰 Please continue on what you do on your channel, as we always excited and cannot wait to see your next adventure! We hope one day to become foodie and travelers like you both! Thank you for your inspiration. God bless the two of you and stay safe always!

Nice to see you still in action. I know you guys got this down but just have to say stay safe! 🥰🤙🏽

You need to do Chinatown in Las Vegas, especially restaurants in Shanghai Plaza.

Love clam chowder! Must try Chowders. Never had it...ty for sharing. I enjoy watching your foodie blogs every night!

My hometown..now in Atlanta, GA I get emotional just thinking about it being shutdown..thanks for visiting so I can feel like I'm there

Omg! I wonder if most of these business will be able to reopen? Once your doors close they tend to stay closed! So sad!

Lookie lookie! You up to 16 thousand!!!!!! Stay safe. I think seals know no people, no handouts.

That sourdough bread looked amazing, I was craving it from watching you guys eat

I live in the Bay Area with my hubby. We love the Ferry Market Building! I've never not seen sea lion/seals along the water front before. Do you guys like fish and chips? Have you eaten at the Codmother for fish and chips near Fisherman's Wharf? Yummy, delicious!! Also try Dandelion Chocolate Factory for chocolate made in small batches. Everyone has heard of Ghiradelli. Pre-pandemic, Dandelion Chocolate Factory use to have small group behind the scenes chocolate tastings/tours at one of their SF stores where you could see the chocolate being made. These tours were totally worth it and I hope they return soon. Just a couple of recommendations for things you may have not done before in SF.

I live on the peninsula in the Bay Area and it makes me sad to hear that my city is so dead. But better to be safe than sorry I think. Right now, it seems like the virus is still running rampant. Since I'm traveling vicariously through you two, it would be nice to see a video on how it is to travel right now in the COVID-era. Stay safe and healthy you two!!

Thank you for sharing your video. I will travel to San Francisco soon. My first time travel to San Francisco.👍❤️✈️🇺🇸

Another fun day for you both! Thanks Bill n Lisa ☆☆☆

Wow! you are in my city 🌃 I’m glad you all had a wonderful time.

Refreshing to see the pandemic duo living large. Holla to ya. Hey, loved the sharp resolution and the cam pan from alcatraz to gg bridge and the seal party ( IDK but probably because know one feeds them and therefore, are not interested in spot anymore? better as Jacque C.) Blasphemy on saying tomato over a bowl of chowder as I am from Boston. Keep on spreading the love.

Hey! Welcome to my City!

Your videos make me so happy 😁

Love ❤️ watching your channel!

I am so sad to see the piers so empty 😢 😞 😔. It's one of my favorite places to go just because. Thank you both for sharing this with us.

Was there three years ago thank you for the Memories...

Bill & Lisa, San Francisco is still alive and kicking. Mayor Breed and our health director Dr. Colfax are very careful about opening up retail areas where groups of people gather. That's why San Francisco is doing well during COVID19. Merchants are being smart and open when most people go out to shop (end of the week and weekends depending on location). Next trip: I recommend you visit the Westside neighborhoods. Visit Clement Street in the Inner Richmond (dim sum shops! a variety of Asian foods!) Or the 9th Avenue & Irving Street area of the Inner Sunset neighborhood (multi-cultural). In Chinatown, Stockton Street is where locals shop for food. For take out dim sum: try Good Mong Kok Bakery (super popular!); for egg tarts: if Golden Gate Bakery isn't open, try AA Bakery & Cafe. Both of these shops are on Stockton Street. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for showing cool places to go. Please do come up North and visit the City again sometime soon.

SF doing a great job at minimizing the spread of Covid, Im not surprised why, the best Clam chowder is Pikes Place Chowder in Seattle, the 2nd best is Market Street Grill in SLC!

Bill! Talk Lisa into going back to Vegas please.

Your videos help to give me courage to go outside, thanks for posting.

The city also needs to get cleaned up. A lot of my relatives that have visited commented on how dirty the city is, not like when they were here many years ago...

Darlins, if you come to SF during pandemic and want to go to Chinatown, know that the main drag, Grant Ave is pretty much closed and depressing looking. Go one block down, Kearny St for some good eating, and one block up, Stockton St for the local action. it will be shoulder to shoulder so be careful not to get knocked over by someone's grandma.. take out dim sum here, great bahn Mi, and huge rice plates piled with meats. also between Grant and and Stockton are some sketchy looking alleys. look for some good restaurants here, and the open fortune cookie factory on Ross Alley.

There are a few bakery and dim sum places on Stockton Street in Chinatown, very reasonable prices and of course it's to go only.

awesome adventure. i miss San Franciso

Keep doing y’all’s stuff guys

Yes, you're right, it is depressing to see the city like this😒....incredible also. One day let's hope traveling will come back👍🏻 Thanks for the tour ❤

Thanks for the tour of SF. I get to travel through your videos. Take care.

SF, my hometown. Go one block up from Grant Ave, onto Stockton St & you’ll see where the natives get their dim sum. Be sure to try out the Mission District too for their food scene. ❤️

What a terrible shame everywhere is still closed. At least you had fun together. X

Cool video , love it

I go to golden boy when i can pull over somewhere which is almost never if not go around the corner to Tony's slice house the best slice i have found in s.f.

Welcome to my city Bill and Lisa!! When everything reopens again, y’all should really check out the museum of ice cream! I’ve mentioned it before but I highly recommend it because that place is EVERYTHING!! Lol.

Hey.Bill and Lisa, this’s my first time video in ur channel and I like it . You Guys lovely couple and i like ur show a lot. B&L I just want to say thank you so much for showed me pier 39 China town I mean since The pandemic lockdown I never been my fav spot pier 39 & Chinatown so again thx for showed me around and it looks ghost town nothing to see but I hope u coming back one day & we’re going to eat chowder together lol I’m a New subscriber keep it up a good work stay safe. From San Francisco. P.S you’ve a lot of video from sinCity,Chicago can’t wait to see it all lol.

I used to work at a cafe there at pier39 & a jewelry store on the 2nd floor just a few months ago for the past 3 years. Im so glad to see they are reopening some places :)! unfortunately the places I worked aren’t there hahhhhha. Cup & cake cafe , the fudgery, stone flower hhah

Aw sucks Phil’z is closed. Love their mint mojito iced coffee!!!💕

Thank you so much 😊

For my liking I would probably go for Boudin, just because it's less creamy and I like to dip the bread without the chowder being too creamy, only downside its less clams.

NorCal has been on alot more lockdown than Socal since cv started

Go to Bob's doughnuts on Polk St and get an apple fritter 😋 There's a raw seafood bar next to Bob's that is good too!

I ❤️ Sourdough bread

Great video !

OMG it's so empty. Kinda sad to see everything so dead.

nice to have the airport all to yourselves so much bread tho.. my weakness. I want those cookies coffee would go good with that.

If only you went on Stockton street between Washington and Jackson Street. 2 bakeries and dim sum to-go. As well as dragon fruit and mangoes. SF is still on SIP.

So sad to see San Francisco so empty but the two of you made it a positive and fun day trip. Guess the sea lions are social distancing too. 🤣 Thank you Bill and Lisa and stay safe. One more thing: CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 16K SUBS!!!

The buildings are soo nice. That’s on my bucket list. Watching from Texas and we are pretty much closed. The food looks fab.

Hello again. It's ok. Maybe next time there will be more visitors. By the way, the clam chowder looks delicious. Take care.

We love clam chowder !!! Awesome video as always!!

Good to see you guys again

So hooked on your videos thank you for sharing, can you guys do a video where you explain what you did before the food travel videos and how you got started maybe also tell us which is your favorite food destination. Thank you!

Thank goodness you got what I consider propah chowdah. I grew up in New England and that red stuff is just soup to me. 😋😋

Best way to start off the day with a Bill and Lisa vlog! Aww unfortunate that the city is so empty but at least you made the best of it like y'all always do and got some sight seeing in! Yumm and atleast you got to eat some norcal clam chowder from Boudin! Ugh it's unfortunate none of the dim sum spots were open that was hands down my favorite thing to eat when I was in SF it was great

Wow, I was there a year ago, wow Wow🙀

Next time you come to SF Chinatown, check out a great dim sum place name Good Mong Kok. It is located on Stockton St and is so good that there is always a line. Great food, generous portions at great prices! Try their porridge (pork with 1000 year egg)...very yummy and their shrimp Ha Gow have big pieces of shrimp instead of bamboo shoots other dim sum places use. They stayed opened when other places closed because of Covid-19. Check them out on yelp...a lot of satisfied customers. Love your videos! Always looking forward to your next adventure!

awww, its so sad 😥 to see SF so slow.

So weird to see San Fran like that, sad. Hope things pick up soon. It was still a great video guys. Love how you travel so often, very cool.🙋‍♀️

Have you ever been to Monterey? An array of amazing seafood restaurants line the Wharf waiting to serve samples of there Clam Chowder as you walk by. It’s incredible for Chowder Lovers! 🤤

I was there in pier 39 san Francisco last august. Its beautiful.a little bit cold

Wow 😳, that is eerie. Last time we were there, the ferry building was packed inside and out. Must feel odd walking around...

Hi guys..we we're just there yesterday...I really missed those places

WOW, that airport is empty! SF doesn't look like anywhere I'd want to visit anytime soon... Thx for the vid, guys(= (PS: Vegas next week?)

Great video just sad to see many stores closed in SF Chinatown including the bakery with those amazing egg tarts

SF native here! New subscriber! Love the content and how happy you two look vlogging! Have you guys tried Trish's mini donuts when you guys visited previously?

That looks delish like your video.

Next time try Lung Fung Bakery on Clement near 21st Ave for egg tarts as good as Golden Gate for less. Then Ariscault for the absolute best croissants and kouign ammans, chocolate croissants, almond and chocolate croissants. Yum. Btw, loving your vlog!

I could’ve given you bart tickets. There are a lot of places still open in SF away from the tourist areas.

Love that dip Wish I was there.

Wow the airport is a ghost town
