Chinatown — San Francisco Bush Street and Grant Avenue San Francisco, CA 94108

map | website | comment

San Francisco's historic Chinatown is  a legendary tourist attraction and the largest Chinatown outside China. This noisy, sprawling, big, beautiful, crowded neighborhood is perfect for wandering during the day with your grandchildren. The stores that sell less-expensive  items, like DVDs or small, live turtles, cater to locals; the stores with more expensive goods — a porcelain cat that waves hello or a silk kimono — are for tourists. The ceremonial entrance to Chinatown is the gate at the corner of Grant Avenue and Bush Street.
