The part of 24th Street I'm going to write about isn't the colorful Mission District, but the laid back, family-oriented Noe Valley District. Here, 24th Street becomes a place where there is truly something for everyone. Whether it's a loud Irish bar, a classic pizza parlor, a calming yarn and craft store, a variety store full of dirty cards and funny, gag gifts, a children's boutique, an import store with all sorts of incense and silver jewelry, a used-music store, or whatever! There are places to eat, bars, stores, salons, banks, and even a small Farmer's Market on weekends. This is definitely one of my favorite areas of San Francisco.
