O’Farrell Street is a fairly short street in downtown San Francisco lasting about a mile. The street begins at Gough Street and runs into Market Street. Regardless of its size however, O’Farrell is one of the more important streets downtown. It is home to many important buildings such as the famous Macy’s of downtown San Francisco. This is definitely one of the most popular stores in downtown. In addition to the giant Macy’s, Nordstrom’s is right next door and it is fairly large also. The gorgeous Hilton hotel is located on O’Farrell Street and is arguably one of the best places to stay in the entire city! The intersection at Van Ness and O’Farrell has even more stores including car dealerships and restaurants. If you ever get bored of the stores on O’Farrell move one street over to Powell or Market Street and you will find a wide variety of stores and attractions!
