Judah St, Inner Sunset

Judah Street runs perpendicular to Ocean Beach and starts Great Highway and ends around 5th avenue. Once it hits 5th avenue, it curves and becomes Parnassus Avenue, which is right by the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center. Judah Street is almost like any other typical street in the Sunset, except that the N-Streetcar runs on it, so living on the street can be a little noisy. I know someone who lives there and she says that at night when she watches television, sometimes her house shakes because of the streetcars passing. Judah is far from a tourist attraction; there aren’t any amazing things to see. It’s a residential area, so there are mostly just houses with a few scattered businesses here and there. There is a church by 43rd avenue (I think Anglican, but I’m not sure), and a Korean church by 36th avenue. Once it gets to the 20’s, there are a few more businesses, like a Kumon tutoring center, a gymnastics studio, and a dentistry. St. Anne’s Church is by Funston. Once you finally hit 9th and Judah, the shops become a little more densely packed. There’s an Asian fusion restaurant called Dragonfly, a doughnut shop, a convenience store, and some other shops. However, if you are a tourist in San Francisco, this street is not vital to your sightseeing needs.

Judah is one of the main streets in the Sunset, with there being a N-Judah Muni line which runs all the way from Ocean Beach to around 9th Avenue. This street tends to be crowded with many cars. Judah is mostly a residential street with the occasional restaurant or storefront. On Judah near the beach, there are a couple of nice cafes where the surfers usually hang out and a nice Chinese restaurant, I believe, that serves delicious Dungeness crab with garlic noodles. Also there is a 7-11. Judah is located next to Irving St, and transforms into Parnassus from 5th Avenue. On 9th Avenue and Judah, there is a Cybelle’s Pizzeria, a doughnut shop, a Jamba Juice on Irving, and a couple of Chinese restaurants.
