A Quaint Street

17/09/2008 17:05:22 -07:00

This street is very short, it goes from Myra Way to Sequoia Way. Although this street is very short, there are many positive aspects to it. The houses here are pretty large and they are decent. Most are two stories, but they actually cover a lot of area. But what is the most greatest aspect is the f...

Looks like summer time

17/09/2008 16:13:23 -07:00

Cameo street is a short little street shaped like a curve. It intersects Amber Drive and Duncan Street. One side of this street has houses/apartments that look exactly alike, which is pretty boring in my opinion, except for the fact that there are beautiful trees on the outside of the houses. These...

Broadway Street: A very long street

17/09/2008 15:16:23 -07:00

This street is very well known in San Francisco, even it's name is famous. This street actually leads from the Presidio to the Embarcadero, which is quite a distance. I wouldn't reccomend this street to young children because there are a lot of bars, clubs, etc. At the day time, it is alright for ch...

Not at all what you might think

04/09/2008 20:18:38 -07:00

My first thoughts about Pleasant Street is, "It's not." I started dissecting my thoughts about what it was that bothered me. I deemed many of my reasons to be unreasonable. Trees growing at seemingly unnatural angles, buildings that don't complement one another, narrow confines and altogether too ma...

A Western treasure

04/09/2008 19:31:10 -07:00

This area is a real hidden treasure in my humble opinion. I don't know how many times I've walked through this neighbourhood and wished I could own it all :P Seriously. It's almost quaint by design.

There's a real interesting mash of architectural design, old and new, and a clever use of space g...

And the award goes to ...

04/09/2008 07:05:55 -07:00

Coles Street is simply a pleasure to visit. If I had to live in the city, this would be my ideal. The only decision I would have to make is where on Cole I would want to live. That would be very tough to make and not one I could make very quickly.

Split in two by the Panhandle, Cole runs North-So...

A round peg in a multi-dimensional hole.

04/09/2008 06:36:25 -07:00

Have you ever visited a place that seemed so out of character with it's surrounds that you had to take a moment to remember where you are? I have, and it happens every time I visit Lupine.

Let me qualify that a little. I love San Francisco. I have an almost unhealthy obsession with it in fact. I'...

The celebrity sibling. Well, kind of ...

04/09/2008 06:11:22 -07:00

Bordering the southern side of Alamo Square, Hayes Street could arguably be overlooked as falling into the shadow of Steiner and its so called "painted ladies." Wandering off into Alamo Square on any given fair weathered weekend, you'll be rewarded by a sea of pooches and the people who have brough...

More than just a semi circle?

04/09/2008 05:18:13 -07:00

Palace Drive is not all that special as far as roads are concerned. What is special however is the namesake that it partially encloses.

The San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts was originally built for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. It's a worthy destination for any history buff, movie afficio...

An oasis in an otherwise tropical setting

04/09/2008 04:55:23 -07:00

The Embarcadero is destination within a destination. It allows you to view the city from an almost unique perspective.

Bordering the eastern side of the city, separating it from the bay, what was once home to an industrial work horse is now home to an ensemble of businesses that appeal to the hu...

Equal rights for alleys

04/09/2008 04:26:12 -07:00

No, Jack Kerouac Alley is not a street. If it were, it would be one of the shortest in the whole of the city. That aside, it is a landmark location worthy of mention.

Once, little more than a dark and seedy shortcut between Grant and Columbus, it was known to the city as Adler Alley. Lawrence Fe...

So much more than a bunch of sharp corners

03/09/2008 22:15:20 -07:00

There are two things that I really love about Lombard St. The first is that it takes you down to Telegraph Hill, but that's for another review. The second, is probably the what Lombard St is most famous for - The "Bring Your Own Big Wheels" downhill extravaganza! Bet you didn't see that coming :)...

Where do we start?

02/09/2008 23:55:32 -07:00

If you had to list five streets in San Francisco, chances are, Powell St would be one of them. And for good reason.

Powell St is North-South thoroughfare taking you from Market St through to Fishermans Wharf. For me, there are some quintessential stops along the way:

Lori's Diner. - If you wa...

Unique Finds On 5th Street

02/09/2008 00:13:06 -07:00

On 5th Street, near Market Street, is a really good Italian restaurant called Little Joe’s. The “grandmother cake” and garlic cheese bread are suburb!

Great Food and Shopping

01/09/2008 22:39:43 -07:00

Nice Apartment Complexs

01/09/2008 22:27:42 -07:00

Crescent Way is a short, curvy street with nice apartment complexes. The St. Francis Bay Apartment complex is a really nice place to live.

Cozy residental neighborhood

01/09/2008 22:12:25 -07:00

While visiting relatives here, I got the impression it’s a nice place to live but not for everyone. Kids on skateboards don’t seem to be mindful of traffic and neighbors don’t clean up after their pets. But it seems to be a cozy, fairly quite neighborhood... compared to the rest of the city.

Peaceful, Breathtaking Escape

01/09/2008 22:01:42 -07:00

Skyline Boulevard is a long, winding highway with breathtaking scenery. It follows the shore line with a spectacular view of the beach along the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful trees and creeks also add to the beauty of this popular San Francisco treasure. It’s a wonderful escape from the business of most...

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...

Fun, Upbeat Atmosphere

01/09/2008 21:24:02 -07:00

Lincoln Way is a fun, busy street with a nice view of the beach at the end of the street. It's mostly a residential district but there are a few restaurants. It's a fun street to visit with a busy city atmosphere but I get the impression it wouldn't be a great place to live due to the extreme traffi...

Postcard view of the Golden Gate

01/09/2008 03:07:56 -07:00

Lincoln Blvd. is the most famous place to take a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge from the city side of the bay.

Interesting neighborhood street

01/09/2008 02:19:45 -07:00

Not a main street but was closed for mass demonstrations during the beginning of the Iraq war. A good boutique hotel on this street is the Orchard. It was one of the first hotels in San Francisco to have free internet access. Bush Street has historic cable car access at Powell. Many of the stop sign...

Keeps you spinning!

01/09/2008 02:02:06 -07:00

Not for the faint of heart. This is also referred to as the crookedness street in the world. It only goes one way and driving down this street is quite an adventure, especially with a stick shift car. Be sure to turn around and look back and enjoy the view.

High end shopping for tourists

01/09/2008 01:49:45 -07:00

You can catch the cable car from one end of Powell Street to the Fisherman’s Wharf. If you have the time and money, you can meet with some friends at the grandfather clock and have a relaxing afternoon tea at St. Francis Hotel. Who knows, they might even give you some freshly washed change.

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.

Fun shopping by foot

01/09/2008 01:09:53 -07:00

All of the frills... some of the thrills!

31/08/2008 16:06:59 -07:00

Stockton St. has it all, from shopping, restaurants, and ethnic diversity, to the department store Mecca of Macy's and more. It goes from Market St. and Union Square, to Chinatown's own shopping and eating district as well. How can you go wrong? Stop and smell the roses, have some dim sum, and exp...

On end to the other

31/08/2008 15:40:51 -07:00

Columbus St. is a long one. Busy, bustling and full of hot spots, restaurants, shops and crossroads to some of the best sections of town. It will take you from one end of town to the other, from the wharf to Union St. It's a great place to walk, and meet up with friends at any one of the many coffe...

Get married on a cable car!!

31/08/2008 15:26:17 -07:00

Go for the gusto! Take the whole tour from Market St. to Fisherman's Wharf. It's where the real action is, as you head up Powell St. at the Market St. turntable. Not to confuse you, pay close attention to which route you want to take. One heads up Nob Hill to Fishermans Wharf. Check with the conduc...

BOLT YOUR SOCKS ON HONEY!!

31/08/2008 15:12:16 -07:00

I'm not prone to visiting tourist attractions, unless they are part of the local color, folklore, or something homespun. BUT, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and do it. Lombard St. is one of those things you have to see, at least once. But once is never enough. It's like going to the t...

PLAY BALL...and have some FUN at the cartoon museum

31/08/2008 15:03:14 -07:00

2nd St. offers good eats and treats if you're heading to see the Giants play ball, but what few people don't realize is that it will take you to 655 Mission St. where you'll discover the Cartoon Art Museum.
It's a lot of fun to see original art 'cells' from your favorite cartoons and comic books. C...

Mission St. - See it soon, before they yuppify this too!

31/08/2008 14:37:42 -07:00

Mission Street in the historic Mission District offers a Latino cultural flavor in an organic setting of the older sections of town. No glossy, slick, suits here to homogenize things. Good food can be found in several restaurants. One favorite is La Taquiera on Mission St. FYI: Women make sure you...

CLOSE to Union Square...but no cigar!

31/08/2008 14:14:59 -07:00

Geary St. is busy. Pretty tight quarters seem to be the theme, from hotels to restaurants. It's an easy walk to Union Square, which is its redeeming quality. If you happen to be staying at one of the hotels, it's a great base camp with easy access to the major pedestrian attractions of cable cars, s...

Walter U Lum Place: Fantastic Place for Families

31/08/2008 14:13:54 -07:00

Walter U Lum Place is located right above Portsmouth Square in Chinatown. This is just a shaded region where people take strolls or is used as a short cut. When Chinese New Year is near, this street is filled with festivities. This street turns into a mini amusement park, minus the rollercoasters. T...

Interesting street in Chinatown....

31/08/2008 13:48:48 -07:00

Although Grant and Kearney are main streets in Chinatown, Stockton if really where the Chinese residents do most of their business. There are a lot of produce stands and live markets, and I wouldn’t even try to choose just one. My only recommendation is to go into any bakery and try the almond, sesa...

It's not all bad.....

31/08/2008 13:43:37 -07:00

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...

You an imagine the Gold Rush days here......

31/08/2008 13:41:09 -07:00

This is the main drag of the neighborhood known as Cow Hollow, a holdover from the days when there were dairy farms in this area. Now you can see the gorgeous mansions built with Gold Rush money. There are also a lot of upscale antique shops and art galleries. If you are lucky enough to be in SF dur...

Blast from the past... Haight-Ashbury LIVES!!

31/08/2008 13:40:25 -07:00

It was pronounced 'Haightashbury' (one word) in the 60's. I was there, in the 'Summer of Love'. It was 1967, when two friends and I hitch hiked from L.A. to San Fran. Not bad for three girls from New England, branching out for the first time. It's a miracle we survived. My most recent visit was...
