I wanted to see if any of you STers knew of good shopping close to the W hotel in San Francisco (I think it's close to 3rd and Howard). I'm looking for something in walking distance or a short cab ride! I'm hoping I'm close to some cool boutiques!
I stayed there about 4 years ago for a wedding. I don't remember where we shopped close by b/c we went all over. But that hotel is so nice!! and cool. You are going to love it.

IMO, SF is a really easy city to get around by food or BART. You should have TONS of options from your hotel depending on how far you want to walk. You are less than a 30 min walk from Union Square, which is were all the department stores and big chains are located.
Also, in terms of geography, SF is a really small city. You can cab over to the Castro or Haight - Ashbury from there for less than $10 (I think).
As for cool boutiques, I've honestly haven't had a lot of success finding them in SF, but I'm sure one of the girls who lives there could point you in the right direction.
