- **Warriors Home Court**: More than just watching basketball, it’s the heart of Bay Area basketball culture! You might witness Curry and Thompson’s incredible live performance.
🍩【Must-Try Foods】
- **Sourdough Clam Chowder at Fisherman’s Wharf**: Signature dish from the century-old Boudin bakery, crispy on the outside and soft inside bread bowl paired with rich chowder, delicious and not greasy.
- **Dungeness Crab Burger**: Freshly grilled by the pier, full of meatiness, enjoying seafood with the sea breeze is the true way to experience San Francisco.
- **Mission District Mexican Burrito**: If your schedule allows, post-game try a generously filled, flavorful burrito loved by locals!
🏨【Accommodation Tips】
- **Hotels near the arena**: Such as San Francisco Marriott Marquis or AC Hotel, within walking distance to the home court, convenient for resting right after the game.
- **Fisherman’s Wharf area**: Holiday Inn or unique B&Bs, convenient for night tours and morning walks by the waterfront.
