Three hours in Zurich!
I have 3 hours in Zurich tomorrow (Saturday) in the afternoon. It's supposed to be raining, but I want to at least see the downtown area. Any recommendations for what to try to see?

I'm gong to assume you're starting/ending at the main train station (Zürich HB). If you're starting/ending at the airport, my advice is to stay there - there's enough shopping and food there to stroll through without having to deal with the weather.
For staying more indoors, I'd recommend the Grossmünster, where you can get a nice view of the city from one of the towers, and Fraumünster, more or less across the river, which has some really cool stained glass art. On the way to/from the station, you could stop by Conditorei Schober for some excellent hot chocolate.
This is great, thanks! I don't know where the bus (private charter) is dropping us off but once we're released, I'll see how close I am to these.
I really liked this bakery when I was there. At first I was upset that the veggie sandwich I bought was actually smoked salmon, but then I realized they'd performed alchemy with smoked carrots and I was completely shook.
If the weather is okay and you have the time, I would recommend the Grossmünster area as a tourist.
it is indeed raining. I wish you a good time.
This bar has some cool sights. and some good lookout it's just very expensive (as expected).
The Landesmuseum right across from the main train station is actually pretty cool too.
And Zeughauskeller was always our favorite place for lunch if you want traditional Swiss food.
