Chinatown & North Beach

If you're coming to San Francisco and don't visit this part of the city you’ve missed out. San Francisco has evolved over the last 15 years (or 6 months) but this is the heart of the city. It’s Little Italy, it’s where the Beats birthed ‘cool’ and it’s full of great cafés and shops to explore. Chinatown? . . . it’s the largest in North America and the largest Chinese community outside Asia. A place where its possible to forget where you are, eat the finest Chinese cuisine and if you’re lucky catch a festival. And if your fortune cookie says “I cannot help you, for I am just a cookie” don’t despair just ask for another.

While the first floor of the this souvenir shop may look typical of all the other stores in Chinatown, don’t be fooled! Check out the upstairs for a treasure trove of toys, gadgets, and novelties. Looking for a Star Wars bobblehead, whoopee cushion, or Avengers lunch box? This the the place for you. On your way out, grab a box of Pocky, and heck, why not a San Francisco magnet for old times sake?
