Everyone knows about Chinatown, North Beach, Japantown, etc.. But San Francisco also has a small French Quarter. Located on Belden Ave and another small street nearby, the French Quarter is a collection of restaurants and bars representing mostly french but include other european countries. Plouf, Cafe Bastille, Cafe de la Presse, all places to check out a good meal.
In town on Bastille Day?? There is always a street festival with DJs all day, drink and food vending outside of the restaurants and lots of international characters packed into a couple of locations.
When looking at the entrance to Chinatown (the main gates), simply turn right on Bush and walk down the street a block. Belden Place is on your left. There is another smaller street off to the right anchored by Cafe Claude. Leave a Comment

The Inner Sunset neighborhood, especially around the area of 9th and Judah, is a great area for food and charming stores such as independent booksellers, coffee, and clothing shops. There is also great food around this area - for example one of the best bakeries in San Francisco is located in this area - Arizmendi Bakery. One of my favorite creperies is The Crepevine on Judah and 8th. Furthermore, there are authentic, delicious Asian restaurants located nearby. Most tourists do not know about this neighborhood, as it is mostly residential, but the area around Judah and 9th is terrific for tourists to get to know the real, not touristy, San Francisco.
Judah and 9th is accessible if you take the N Judah line from Powell Station downtown and get off at Judah and 9th. The trip will take around 25 minutes or so.
The website below is a great resource for the area, with listings and descriptions of all the cafes, restaurants, and shopping.

Built in 1866 by a blacksmith with 11 kids, it remains a private residence till today. The blacksmith already made his fortune (during the Gold Rush era) when he built the house. And this white Italian style mansion looks awesome.
Pierce Street where it is located is very steep, but I sure did not regret about passing and looking at this gorgeous house. I wonder who owns it now.. Other Contact: Pacific Heights: 2727 Pierce Str

 The Steps coming down

Little Saigon is a tiny two-block by two-block neighborhood in the heart of San Francisco's often-rough Tenderloin district. Larkin Street between Eddy and O'Farrell streets was officially designated Little Saigon in 2004, and it is home to some 2,000 of the city's 13,000 Vietnamese people. 80 percent of the businesses in Little Saigon, including restaurants, tailors, barbers, laundries, markets, and more are owned by local Vietnamese people. The neighborhood is marked with yellow banners welcoming visitors to the community.
We spent just a few hours in Little Saigon, shopping at a few of the markets and having lunch at one of the restaurants, called the Turtle Tower Restaurant.
Nearby San Jose has a much larger Vietnamese population estimated at around 90,000 people, making it the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam, but San Jose does not have a designated Vietnamese neighborhood like Little Saigon. Leave a Comment

Tourists don't usually see the charming and diverse neighborhoods of San Francisco. You'll rarely see a local hanging out at the wharf on a Saturday night! Instead of being shuffled around the tourist traps in Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf, head to the Mission or SOMA neighborhoods for some nightlife. Spend a Sunday afternoon cruising the shops in Noe Valley or on Chestnut Street. Or how about stopping by 9th and Irving for a coffee after a walk in Golden Gate park. Try 'Park Chow' or 'Avenue 9', both on 9th Avenue. Leave a Comment

Japantown. On Geary street, west of the downtown area. A shopping district dedicated to all things Japanese and quite large too by SF standards. Nearby there are the famous Filmore and Boom Boom Boom concert clubs. Leave a Comment

The whole Clement St. neighborhood is off the beaten path for most tourists, but it's well worth a detour. Leave a Comment
