Focus on San Francisco Neighborhoods - North Beach
North Beach as described on the SFResidence neighborhood guide:"This is where San Francisco's history all began. From Fisherman's Wharf up and over the hills to the borders of the Tenderloin and west to the Civic Center complex, home to the newly restored City Hall with its 14 carat golden dome, one of the finest examples of Beaux Arts buildings in the the country. City Hall is neighbored by the grand buildings of Louise B. Davies Hall, the Opera House, Bill Graham Civic Auditorium plus more. On any given Sunday you can hear in the tenderloin gospel music at Glide Memorial Church to the magnificent sounds of Grace Cathedrals organ while ending your day w/ jazz at one of the many North Beach haunts."
SFGate says, "North Beach is that rare thing -- a neighborhood that manages to be a perennial hit with tourists, and also to remain beloved by San Franciscans. It's best known as San Francisco's Little Italy, with its high density of check-clothed ristorantes, caffes and Old World delicatessens. It's also a popular pilgrimage for fans of the Beat movement seeking the old haunts of Kerouac and Ginsberg. However, North Beach is no relic, and it has much to offer beyond pasta and poetry."
