What's Nearby
Getting Around
Parking in this neighborhood can feel impossible at times. Take advantage of this walkable slice of the city to explore Civic Center, Hayes Valley, the Mission, Castro, and more. Hop on the Muni train or bus to connect with outer neighborhoods, and the BART train, which takes travelers to both Oakland and San Francisco airports.
Restaurants
Local fave RT Rotisserie (5-minute walk) makes the city's best chicken dishes at a reasonable price. For comfort food, hit up the Grove (2-minute walk) for egg fare in the mornings, and sandwiches in the afternoons.
Bars
Big windows back the massive bar at Zuni Cafe (7-minute walk) where local wines and a mean Bloody Mary draw the after-work crowd. For themed Tiki-beverages in a pirate ship atmosphere, hit up Smuggler's Cove (3-minute walk).
