This little alleyway right out of downtown provides a place to park your car off the main streets. Located nearby is Yeurba Buena park and the Metreon. These are both great places to take the family for a day of fun, ice skating, bowling, or just a day outdoors in downtown SF. The nightlife here is pretty good, because only a few blocks off of Rizal are several nightclubs where one can enjoy the party scene. Be wary of leaving your car here overnight with any valuables visible, homeless people often loiter these alleys at night, and have no problem with smashing your window in for a few cents in change.

Lapu Lapu offers a great parking option for people visiting the SOMA district in SF. Only a block away from whole foods grocery store, this quiet alley is located right off of Harrison Street. Be wary of parking your vehicle here overnight however.

The club scene is vibrant nearby, with 2-3 clubs 21+ and older people can go to enjoy themselves for the evening.

This street runs through the quiet Miraloma district in San Francisco. This is mainly a residential area so there is not much to do in terms of restaurants, movies, or evening outs, but Portola Ave is close by and you can take that directly to Market St and downtown SF. There is a local elementary school nearby at the base of Mt. Davidson, and a local church called Miraloma Community Church, which offers great Vacation Bible School over the summer for kids. Recommended!
