Street parking for 1-2hrs is available on a few of the nearby streets. I would recommend using Parkopedia or SpotHero though to book one of the hundreds of “valet” parking spots in the nearby area, we did this and found it easy and reasonable value for a 24hr period.

Traveling to SF on 5/11-5/12/18, with my daughter. Planning on Alcatraz tour during the day on Saturday and dinner in China Town Sat evening. 3 questions: 1) Any suggestions for an authentic Chinese restaurant to have Dim Sum? 2) Are reservations recommended? & 3) any safety concerns other than the usual for women travelers in large cities?

All the restaurants in China town that we ate it had dim sum. I can't recommend a specific restaurant because we tried so many & all were great. We just walked into each one with no reservations.
