Not For Everyone

01/09/2008 21:44:27 -07:00

Market Street may be a popular tourist attraction with the many shops and restaurants but most of it seems dirty and somewhat scary for out-of-towners. It’s best to explore this street with locals who can tell you which parts to avoid. If you really enjoy shopping and don’t mind the traffic then tou...

Lots of stuff to see

01/09/2008 01:39:07 -07:00

If you have ever visited San Francisco, you probably have been on some section of Market Street. It spans from the pier, passes through the hub of the tourist area and ends in the Castro district. All mass transit goes through there and you can also catch the famous cable car turnaround on Market an...

It's not all bad.....

While I know native San Franciscans who say that there are a lot of great, cheap ethnic restaurants on Market, you have to be careful not to get into the Tenderloin part of it. This is a notorious district that has a lot of crime and panhandlers. It just isn’t worth it. The strip clubs and joints ar...

a vital mass transit street

Too many homeless people...but good shopping.

Market Street is definitely one of the major streets in the heart of San Francisco, but anyone who's spent a lot of time here knows it's a dirty, run down unappealing street. Yes it has the Westfield shops which are good, but there are A LOT of homeless people begging for money and food which make...

always busy and never quiet

12/07/2008 03:03:38 -07:00

Market street in downtown San Francisco is like an outdoor mall. There is a the Westfield Mall on Market Street, but just on the streets are so many stores ranging from retail to restaurants. Many bus lines can get you here for example, the 38, 31, 5, 71, etc. Not only are there bus lines on the str...

everything's happening here

15/05/2008 17:59:13 -07:00

It's like everything all at once all the time. I wouldn't have expected San Francisco to have a place so much like New York City, but yet so different. Somehow it's just more fun, less somber, than NYC, and the great swaths of astonishing restaurants and hotels and shops make it a great spot for t...

The non-sleeping street

14/05/2008 18:17:50 -07:00

The best street i have seen in sanfransisco city having all needed services by you. It separates few distinct parts such as (castro,south of market,union square).

Beating heart of the city.

13/05/2008 08:25:06 -07:00

Market Street begins at the Bay Bridge. Hop off BART & you are in the heart of the financial district & the most striking of San Francisco's skyscraper architecture--look for the eerie, draped human figures at the top of one of them.

From here, you can turn onto the Embarcadero along the waterfro...

Market street is located in the heart of San Francisco. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling for me on this crowded street.

Now, Market Street is what I would call a must see in the San Fransisco area. The Civic Center is awesome. I haven't yet attended a major event there, but I can only imagine how exciting it must be. If you get a chance to do that, take it otherwise I think that you will definitely regret it. Als...

This street is full of life and action. It is a major street in San Fran and it passes by major tourist attractions. If you are looking for something to do, market st. is where you will find it. The traffic, both vehicle and foot, is always crazy, but if you love being social, this is your street.

There is so much I can say about arguably one of San Francisco’s most famous streets. Market Street begins at the end of Portola Drive and runs all the way to the famous Ferry Building.

Starting at the bottom of Portola Drive, Market Street intersects with Castro Street and for a few long blocks...
