I live in the area (SF Bay Area)... a lot of people call it the city, but I've heard it been call "frisco" or SF... but I don't speak for everyone. You don't need a car, I probably have about 5 parking tickets from driving up there, I hate driving in SF (esp since I have a manuel transmission)...
Where to eat - anywhere Yelp rates as high, really. There's a lot of great places.
Stuff to see... depends what you want. Mt Tamalpias has a great vista point of the entire bay, with SF, Berkeley, South Bay... Treasure Island (you need a car) has some great night shots of SF and Berk...
Stuff outside SF... there's snazzy stuff just north of the bridge, Berkeley is obviously a collage town... Santa Cruz is a beach bum town... Big Sur is one of the famous coastal highway drives... feel free to ask if you have any Q's and I can try to help.
Events/festivals... there is a link of what is going on every weekend. Google and I'm sure its easy to find.
