If you're looking for something different, try the Hotel Majestic. Built in 1902, the Hotel Majestic is San Francisco's oldest continuously operating hotel, but with modern conveniences. The atmosphere is elegant, and the rooms are romantic, with high-ceilings and bay windows. The Majestic is rich in history, and is even said by some to be haunted! If you're hoping for a ghostly experience, request a room on the fourth floor.

We came here for an early dinner on a recent rainy Sunday afternoon,and at just after 5:00, there was a wait for tables. The place is small but relatively quiet and very nicely decorated with a nautical theme. I wanted everything on the menu, and everyone in our party was happy with their meal. The clam chowder is creamy and delicious, the stuffed artichoke comes with plenty of shrimp and crab and a salad, and the chocolate custard is dreamy.
The most well-known of these houses are located in Alamo Square, the Haight-Ashbury and Lower Haight.
This place is a bakery/restaurant, mostly known for their delicious pastries, but they also have the best
clam chowder ever. The service is good, and the atmosphere is warm and cozy.
Great place to hang out on a rainy or foggy day (of which their are many in this area!)
Tasty breakfast and lunch crepes, and also yummy dessert crepes. The service is good, and you get a lot of food for your money.

This is a nice park with great views of the city. A good place to walk the dog, or bring the kids to the wonderful children's playground that is always busy. There are also a couple of tennis courts and basketball courts.
