Montgomery St, Financial District

Montgomery is one of the busier streets to travel no matter what time of day. During rush hour, you should avoid it, because it's like a parking lot with all of the bridge and tunnelers eager to get back home over the bridge. It stretches from North Beach to the Financial District.

But because it's such a thoroughfare, it also has a lot to offer in terms of dining out or exercise. There's the Montgomery street stairs if you want to get a workout in on your way to work or your visit.For a bite to eat, there's the famous Cigar Bar and Grill and Bocadillos which is more like an institution. For a drink there's the Bubble Lounge. For a spiritual experience, you can stop by the Church of Scientology - or you can just look up at the TransAmerica building. As you pass through North Beach and head deeper into the Financial District (right past the TransAmerica bldg), Montgomery is lined with banks, skyscrapers and steak houses.

Situated on the north-south of San Francisco Montgomery street was once notorious as a center of law and literature.
