It starts from the Embarcadero to Eleventh Street, between Market and Townsend. The neighborhood is a patchwork of warehouses, swanky nightspots, residential hotels, art spaces, loft apartments, furniture showrooms and the tenacious Internet companies that survived the tech market collapse. Although a lot of building has gone on in recent years, it is still not densely developed. You can walk several desolate blocks before suddenly finding a hopping restaurant.
The area around Market and Third Street is more well heeled, influenced by the nearby Financial District and conventions at the Moscone Center. Several of the city's arts organizations are located here, including the SF MOMA, the Center for the Arts at Yerba Gardens and the California Historical Society. The western end of the district is the most industrial, and is dominated by huge wholesale marts and superstores like Costco and Bed, Bath & Beyond.

METREON - Warning: You will lose complete track of time in the mulitmedia mall: the Discovery Store, Sony, PlayStation, Miscrosoft, Things From Another World, PortalOne (pictured here), IMAX theater, 20 movie screens, and "Where the Wild Things Are" (an interactive exhibition based on Maurice Sendak's characters).
Deciding what to eat is never a problem at Metreon. If the weather is nice, check out the Esplanade Gardens of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. 101 Fourth St. (415) 369-6000.
YERBA BUENA CENTER FOR THE ARTS - 701 Mission St., San Francisco. (415) 978-2787.
THE ROOFTOP AT YERBA BUENA GARDENS - home to Mo's Grill, billing itself as having the "best burger with fries." The crown jewel of the rooftop just might be the carousel. Designed in 1906 by Charles Looff, the painstakingly restored menagerie features chariots, galloping camels, giraffes and jumping horses with real horsehair tails. Check out the At Play gift store. Innovative and educational toy options abound, such as Mechanimal Kits ($20), Phenakistascope ($26) or Bozart Toys' Marionettes ($30). And there's fun for the whole family at the Yerba Buena Ice Skating and Bowling Center. Fourth St. at Howard. Leave a Comment

Ansel Adams was born in San Francisco (1902-1984). A commercial photographer for
30 years, he made visionary photos of western landscapes that were inspired by a boyhood trip to Yosemite. Apart from his photographs, the center holds a number of excellent photography exihibitions.

South of Market, also known as 'SoMa,' is two square miles of hot nightclubs, fashionable restaurants, experimental theaters, discount shopping outlets and art galleries. Bordering SoMa to the east is another emerging area known as the City Front District, encompassing the Steuart Street area north of Justin Herman Plaza and the Ferry Building. Leave a Comment

At nighttime, SOMA sizzles with a nightlife, especially around Harrison and Folsom Streets. Lots of breweries, bars, nighclubs in this neighborhood.
