On The Job-Columbus St

Columbus Street runs through two of the city's better known neighborhoods, North Beach and Chinatown. It runs from Fisherman's Wharf to the Transamerica Pyramid in downtown.

The North Beach area is known for its Italian heritage. Thusly, this district has many shops and restaurants that mirror this theme. Below is one of many Italian bakeries, Stella.
Another favorite is the street side cafes and restaurants that are busy during the nice balmy weekend nights
While in Paris, I found these places to be quite restful and great places to people watch. We, in the states, are too hurried and rushed to be able to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee
Known for its loving use of garlic, places like The Stinking Rose is a favorite place for people to dine
