Insider trick with the cable cars.... Don't bother waiting in the giant lines at either end. Walk a little ways in, towards touristy stops and just wait for it to come by and drop people off. You can usually hop on there easily. Buy a multi day ticket for the buses and I think the cable cars are included still. (it may have changed.)
Presidio is very pretty, Golden Gate park as well. The Haight/Ashbury district is still full of hippies, and there is some fantastic food in every area. :) And 24hr Chinese food delivery in the yellow pages, if they still exist. I just loved the idea of 3am delivery, though I never did it.
Oh and there is a lovely tea shop in Chinatown where a man pulled myself and two friends in, gave us samples of about 5-6 types explaining everything and chatted for probably an hour. It was random and a fun experience.
