Legendary bakery and cafe--the Morning Buns are particularly popular, as is the country loaf, which sells out early every day. Get there when it opens (7:30 am) or be prepared to wait in a long line!

This is the famous Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, which was the epicenter of the hippie movement in the 60s and 70s. Much of that era is preserved in the stores and restaurants that line Haight Street.

Parks & Nature
San Francisco's heart and soul, with a wide range of things to do and see, including a botanical garden, an arboretum, the DeYoung Museum, the California Academy of Arts, and the Japanese Tea Garden. Don't miss the bison paddock out toward the Ocean Beach end of the park. GG Park is also great for long walks and getting away from it all in nature.

Our local park is much loved by the neighborhood. Fantastic people watching, and also great for getting a bit of sun on a warm afternoon. There are also several tennis courts, a basketball court, and a recently remodeled playground for kids.

A spectacular theater from the golden age of movies, which has been lovingly restored. This is the iconic showpiece of the neighborhood.
