First Timer traveling thru your (beautiful) city, looking for a local experience. WWYD?

What an awesome place. I’m currently on a road trip across the USA and arrived here last night. Plan on staying a few days. Anyone care to share some suggestions for places to see or good food in the area? Or any precautions I should take? Great first impression so far

I’ve set some time aside for museums but I’m really one stray away from the norm and touristy areas when in a new place. Where would you go??
