Chinatown & North Beach

- Volume
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.
