An out of town SFist reader writes in with a question, and we need your help to answer it. Let's hear your recommendations in the comments!
My daughter is visiting her sister in San Francisco for her birthday. I was wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions/links for birthday presents/things she could do (day spa's/relaxing things?). I am thinking about getting her tickets to the Pink Martini concert, possibly. She will be in SF from July 26th to the 31st. Looking for something romantic, relaxing, fun or maybe even something she can do with her sister. (Identifying details have been altered to protect the surprise.)
You guys all such smarty-pants, that we know you'll be chock full of great ideas for a bitchin' birthday treat. Hit it!



Refresh is my favorite day spa. Lots of treatments to choose from, relaxing facilities, and great products in the spa for that post massage reminder days and weeks later. Get there at least 1/2 hour before treatment to enjoy the sauna and steam rooms.
Lime on Market could be a lively place to celebrate later-fancy drinks, good food, etc.
Wait - she wants to do something "romantic" -- with her sister?
I think the Pink Martini concert is a great idea. It's the first time they'll be performing in SF in years, so the audience will be really excited. And they're performing with the SF Symphony, which will make for a romantic and fun night (as you intend). Personally, I've been waiting a long time for this.
