kind of meh really

Ocean Avenue, San Francisco, California, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 2/5
There really isn't much here. I mean there's gas stations and convenience stores and whatnot with the usual generic trappings of suburbia, but that's about it. There's nothing particularly special about it apart from the deceptive name. Driving past I was c...

seems like a nice little area

Dolores Street, San Francisco, California, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 3/5
Dolores itself seemed pretty tame (and some friends live there), but it was close (within walking distance) to several of the restaurants friends had recommended. La Provence was a quarter mile over on Guerrero St. Quite tasty. And the delightful Tao Cafe w...

except for the switchbacks and flowers, it's entirely forgettable

Lombard Street, San Francisco, California, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 1/5
The switchbacks are all downhill (it'd be much more fun to watch some kid learn to drive a manual transmission up the street rather than down it) and it seems to always be packed with traffic. The flowers are entirely transitory as well -- in fact they were d...

I saw a transvestite hooker being arrested on Kearny street

Kearny Street, San Francisco, California, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 5/5
No, really, I did. Early evening, right in front of the pizza shop. A crowd gathered and watched as the cop patted down the hooker and the hooker (he? she?) talked smack about the cop, his mother, and the things the three of them did together the night befor...

I second the nomination

O'Farrell Street, San Francisco, California, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 4/5
One of the other reviewers mentioned the Hilton San Francisco, and I just want to back up what he/she said. It really is a nice place to stay, and the courtyard is a great place to relax and swim and lounge in the sun (in the summer, at least, the rest of the...

this is just one of those streets

Castro Street, San Francisco, California, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 5/5
It's one of those streets that makes me wonder whether San Francisco isn't just a party and food town with a few residential bits thrown in to make sure there are people to do the partying and eating. Great food and nightlife, as it should be considering they...

of the infamous pairing with Ashbury

Haight Street, San Francisco, California, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 3/5
I'm half disappointed half impressed that they've turned the place from "be a hippie" into "buy a hippie," but I shouldn't have . I'd say skip it and head down to fisherman's wharf. Better food down there and fewer college students pretending to be hippies. ...

California Street, San Francisco, California, United States

  • 5/5
..and there's traffic. My god, is there traffic. I'm almost tempted to use the old Yogi Berra-ism "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded," but clearly everybody does go there. And it's worth braving the traffic, too, if for nothing other than the food...

everything's happening here

Market Street, San Francisco, California, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 5/5
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 hot...

pretty but not enough to do

Great Highway, San Francisco, California, United States
By ChrisTurk on May 15, 2008
  • 4/5
I mean, there are places to park to get to the somewhat scrubby beach, and a bike path on the shore side of the street. And I know I saw some surfers out there in the water, but it seems so residential that I have my doubts about it for a vacation spot. It i...
