Description:

From pasta to poetry, nightclubs to music venues, coffee shops to neighborhood parks, North Beach—San Francisco’s Little Italy—is packed with cultural treasures. Hit the pavement with a local guide to scope out this vibrant district’s historic sights and modern attractions.

Meet your guide and set out in the footsteps of literary movers and shakers like Jack Kerouac as you explore the neighborhood where the Beat movement took root. Pass by City Lights bookstore and watch for author Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who still calls North Beach home. Roam past sidewalk trattorias and the red-checked tablecloths of Italian eateries, and window shop your way through the boutiques and Edwardian homes of Grant Avenue.

In Washington Square Park, sit back and watch the locals sipping coffee, playing chess, and picnicking while the fog rolls by, and wander beneath the neon lights of Broadway, whose sultry nightclubs are interspersed with music venues, comedy clubs, and bars that have played host to greats like Barbra Streisand and Bill Cosby.

North Beach is one of San Francisco’s oldest neighborhoods. As you explore, your guide regales you with stories about the colorful characters who have called it home over the decades, from the criminals of the seedy Barbary Coast to American icons like Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio.
