On 5th Street, near Market Street, is a really good Italian restaurant called Little Joe’s. The “grandmother cake” and garlic cheese bread are suburb! (Separately of course) The service was incredibly friendly, making it feel like a small town. There is also a Barbary Coast Trail that begins on 5th Street. It was an educational experience even for locals I was with.

4th Street is a great place to bring the kids. There are many parks, playgrounds and attractions for children. It’s a safe area with shops, places to eat and an Imax theater. If your not traveling with kids, 4th Street Bar and Deli is a great place to eat. A bit pricey for a bar but great food!

Jefferson Street is located near the docks. There are many other tourist and sidewalk souvenir shops with unique items. People seem extra friendly around this area. There are many neat tourist attractions and places to eat (many seafood themed) on and around Jefferson including a walk through aquarium a couple blocks away.

O’Farrell Street is a short street with great nightlife. The street seems both fun and safe, having a large variety of shops ext. for such a small area. Johnny Foley's Irish Pub is a great place to go for great food and fun! The New York Steak there is superb!

Post Street is a bust street with everything from fancy stores to cheap asian restaurants. Like nearby Market Street, it’s a great place for shopping. (and safer too!) If you enjoy asian culture and food, this street is a must. If you intend on shopping til you drop, there is a nearby park to rest and people watch.

Crescent Way is a short, curvy street with nice apartment complexes. The St. Francis Bay Apartment complex is a really nice place to live. They allow pets, have indoor car parking and individual patios. According to a local, they prices are quite fair too. If you are fortunate enough to live here, or at least visit an apartment, you’d be able to see the beautiful coast and hills for miles. At dusk and dawn, the sunlight cast a lovely tint upon the surroundings.

While visiting relatives here, I got the impression it’s a nice place to live but not for everyone. Kids on skateboards don’t seem to be mindful of traffic and neighbors don’t clean up after their pets. But it seems to be a cozy, fairly quite neighborhood... compared to the rest of the city.

Skyline Boulevard is a long, winding highway with breathtaking scenery. It follows the shore line with a spectacular view of the beach along the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful trees and creeks also add to the beauty of this popular San Francisco treasure. It’s a wonderful escape from the business of most of the city.

Market Street may be a popular tourist attraction with the many shops and restaurants but most of it seems dirty and somewhat scary for out-of-towners. It’s best to explore this street with locals who can tell you which parts to avoid. If you really enjoy shopping and don’t mind the traffic then touring this street might be worth exploring.

Lincoln Way is a fun, busy street with a nice view of the beach at the end of the street. It's mostly a residential district but there are a few restaurants. It's a fun street to visit with a busy city atmosphere but I get the impression it wouldn't be a great place to live due to the extreme traffic, speeding and loud car stereos.

It’s unarguably the best street in the neighborhood. A great view of an open field in front where deer often roam. Great neighbors who are there when you need them but not the kind that pester you. Nearby is a small park for children and a neighborhood pool. Very quiet and a great treat for anyone fortunate to live there!
