Pros: Sights, sounds, Saturday night, the neighborhood itself,
Cons: Parking sucks
In my many travels to San Francisco, the one place that will always attract me is going to be North Beach. This West Coast neighborhood is San Francisco's answer to Little Italy. Made up of quaint little cafes, restaurants, mom and pop stores, and ...

Pros: The people

Now, where should I start?
At the end of part one, I had returned home to greet my angry mother at the airport. Who could blame her, right?
So now I'm home, bored and restless again. I enjoyed telling my friends all about my little...

Pros: exquisite food; good nightlife
Cons: parking is impossible
I lived in San Francisco for a year and spent many nights traveling down to North Beach for dinner and music. North Beach is the "Italian section" of San Francisco and it is famed for its excellent restaurants.
Where is it and how do I...

Pros: Lot's of good eating
Cons: Watch your wallet in the evening
I grew up in San Francisco, born 1949, and from the first moment I could walk my mother and grandmother took me on long walks through the city. One of our most favorite places to go was North Beach. During the 1950's and early 60's North Beach was...

Pros: Great Restaurants, many points of interest
Cons: Broadway sex scene, can be very congested.
During your visit to San Francisco, North Beach is a must see. From the tawdry sex scenes on Broadway (less now than 20 or 30 years ago) to Coit Tower on Telegraph hill, the cable car line and the cable car barn to Fisherman's wharf and the Aquatic...

Pros: Eclectic City
Cons: Quite an up and down hill walk
The Beat writers were a big inspiration to me when I was going to boarding school in Massachusetts. I read our native Kerouac and his fellow writers such as Cassidy, Ferlinghetti, Burroughs, and Ginsberg and often imagined myself traveling on the road...

Pros: Ambiance. Location. Price.
Cons: none
Hotel Bohieme is perfectly located in the heart of North Beach at 444 Columbus Ave. We've stayed twice in the past 2 years while visiting the city. In fact, we've been in the same room both times. The 14 bed hotel has many qualities which made our...

Pros: Good, (mostly) clean, cheap fun
Cons: are there any?
The corner of Broadway and Columbus is one of the busiest in the City, certainly THE intersection in North Beach. Grab a cab and have the driver drop you off at Specs', because you need a drink and it's the best bar in town.
Full name...

Pros: Best Italian and Chinese food in the city
Cons: Waiting for tables, yobbo tourists
PIZZA - SIT DOWN
The best pizza in North Beach is to be found at Tomasso's, on Kearny between Broadway and Columbus. Right across from the Lusty Lady! The best pie is the simplest--straight cheese pizza. If you're particularly hungry, get an order...

Here are a few of my favorite places to kick back a cold local brew or a fabulous Martini in lovely North Beach.

Pros: Can't miss it when in SF
Cons: Lots of other tourists
North Beach deserves to be included on any trip to San Francisco, for its great food and great views at the Coit Tower.
Views
From the Coit tower, you've got a marvelous view of the Bay and other parts of the city. If you can, get there...

Pros: angelheaded hipsters sitting on rooftops at dawn contemplating jazz
Cons: Too far from McSorley's
Yes, North Beach has great music, fantastic food and terrific brew-pubs.
But no trip to North Beach would be complete without a stop in to the City Lights Bookstore, a piece of beat history on Columbus Ave. It's open late, and the last time...

Pros: Plenty of good Italian food. Lively atmosphere.
Cons: Many cash only establishments, limited parking, long wait for tables on weekends.
North Beach, the Little Italy of San Francisco, is roughly bordered by Chestnut, Grant, Broadway, & Taylor, with its main thoroughfare of Columbus Avenue running diagonally through it. Adjacent to Chinatown, it is also a short walk from there to the ...
