OK, it is the most touristy part of Russian Hill, but it is fun to drive down it and also worth it for the view at the top. You can see the bay and Alcatraz, and the flowers and shrubs are beautiful. Also, if you walk around the area, you can see some pretty little lanes that have staircases to the street as it so hilly here. This is a very ritzy residential area, and although there are not a lot of stores and restaurants here, it is fun to see where some of the city’s well-heeled live.
