This is one of the oldest and most established Chinatowns in the U.S. Beyond iconic Dragon’s Gate, a bustling maze of streets and alleys brims with dim sum joints and other traditional eateries. Also found are herbalists, bakeries, souvenir shops, and dark cocktail lounges and karaoke bars. There are ornate temples, including the landmark Tien How, as well as the Chinese Historical Society of America Museum.

Young locals embrace the Lower Haight for its scruffy, laid-back vibe. Cozy coffeehouses, old-school record shops and local art galleries dot the bike-friendly district. The scene perks up after dark with craft beer bars such as the Toronado, a cash-only local institution, plus sports pubs and funky clubs with dance floors. Nearby Duboce Park has a playground and popular off-leash dog area.

The Castro District, in Eureka Valley, is synonymous with gay culture. Revelers often spill onto the sidewalks at numerous bars, like Twin Peaks Tavern, whose floor-to-ceiling windows were revolutionary when it opened in 1972. The lavish Castro Theatre and the GLBT Historic Museum are also found here, as are homey restaurants and adult shops. On Market Street, 19th-century F-line streetcars head to Fisherman’s Wharf.

Close-knit Excelsior is among the oldest and most culturally diverse areas in San Francisco. Asian supermarkets, Mexican taquerias and Salvadoran bakeries line Mission Street, while colorful street art depicts the neighborhood's ethnic variety.

Treasure Island is an artificial island in San Francisco Bay, and a neighborhood in the City and County of San Francisco. Built in 1936–37 for the 1939 Golden Gate International Exposition, the island was named by Clyde Milner Vandeburg, part of the Fair's public relations team.
