When you pair the city and Lombard St, people invariably think of crooked, as in the most crookedest street. But, that is just one in a series of blocks that make up Lombard. It continues eastward to the bay but that will be another story/post. We will focus, this time, on the western portion. On the other side of that far peak is where the winding portion makes it way down towards the North Beach/Northpoint area. As it leads westward, its a major artery that connects to Doyle Dr in the Presidio and eventually connecting to the Golden Gate Bridge. All this cuts through the Marina district. There used to be more restaurants along this section. many have closed but one would not starved or be at a lack of choices if one were to stqy in the area. Nowadays, the hotels/motels outnumber eating establishments.
In the distance, the fog shrouds Doyle Dr and the GG Bridge. In the foreground, you would have seen the remnants of the buildings constructed for the 1915 Panama Pacific Exposition that the city played host to decades and decades ago.
Aside from Lombard itself, Chestnut St parallels to the north and Union St follows in the same direction a few blocks to the south. Both these streets host their own variety of eating establishments and shopping boutiqes. Union having more bars can draw a few more revelers but pale in comparison when you begin to count the number of places to eat. All three provide a lively area that many tourists wouldnt know to experience
