No real reason to go

06/05/2008 05:38:21 -07:00

This street runs almost straight down the center of San Francisco downtown.

Not only lacking a reason to visit, there are areas which are downright unpleasant to venture into....

A Decent, Popular Street

But the street is far too wide and the stores along it far too spread out for it to be a cozy hangout. The best thing about Van Ness is the AMC movie theatr...

Max's Opera Cafe is the Center of San Fransisco's Opera Culture

28/04/2008 02:51:22 -07:00

You may not realize it but San Fransisco has a bustling Opera Community. If you have children you may find it diffucult to actually go to the Opera. However a little of the "flavor" of the Opera can be captured at Max's Opera Cafe. Max's Opera Café serves delicious American diner fare, but with a tw...
