Around Telegraph Hill
Victorian-era homes, bungalows, and quaint cottages, with bloomed trellises wafting perfume through the streets, command a pretty penny for this upscale neighborhood. Though smaller homes are available, many demand and far exceed comparable living spaces in neighboring areas.
Seafood, pizza joints, and authentic Italian restaurants, and, with deep immigrant roots steeped in the neighboring areas, Telegraph Hill provides a rich palette for foodies of all levels. For the freshest cioppina, try Sotto Mare Oysteria Seafood on Green Street.
A mix of professionals, bohemian artists, young families, and of course, tourists. Steep streets lead to exciting views and architectural gems. Free-thinkers take over the coffee shops, while wild parrots, descended over the years from escaped pets, flock from location to location and have become an attraction in their own right.
Think rustic bars that reflect the neighborhoods strong ties to the arts, writing, and culture. Don't discount some of the coffee houses here. They keep fairly steady into the late evening hours and are a great place to rub elbows over a strong cup of java. Visit the Saloon, on Grant Avenue, for a step inside the oldest tavern of the city to socialize with easy-going locals.
Walk the Filbert Street Steps to the base of Coit Tower and view homes only accessible by the steep stairway. Coit Tower, a historical landmark, also has fresco murals of the art deco style. Visit City Lights Bookstore, a once favored spot for renowned Beat poets, now holds an eclectic collection of poetry and literature.
