If you re staying in a hotel, ther e s a good chance y ou ll be near the P owell-Hyde cable car line. ( That said, if y ou re staying in Fisherman s Wharf, you may prefer to start this tour at stop no. 3 below and then fit in time for U nion Square after visiting Chinatown.) Your first stop , the cable car turnaround at the corner of M arket and Powell streets, is the hear t of San Francisco s shopping scene. G iven the ev er-present queue for the cable car , you ll want to get there early, which may mean y ou ll be out before the stores open. Even so, you ll enjoy people-watching, from local worker bees starting their day to other early-rising tourists to street performers getting ready to perform to the occasional odd bird carrying a sign lamenting the coming doomsday. It s certainly a lively spot to start your excursion. See p. 159.
Haight-Ashbury Bordered on the west by Golden Gate Park, on the north by Fulton Street, on the east by Divisadero Street, and by Waller Street to the south, gritty Haight-Ashbury has never fully put the 1960s behind it. This isn t a complete bummer, by any means; the main drag, H aight Street, is filled with vintage clothes much of it on hangers and for sale as w ell as independently owned stores that y ou won t see in y our local indoor mall. The str eet is also action-packed, albeit with people looking for handouts, but it s historic, man.
134 One taste of the delectable offerings, and you may decide meat is overrated. Start with baked goat cheese with grilled br ead and golden beets, and follo w it with risotto with snap, snow, and English peas, or y ellow vegetable curry with cashew jasmine rice. F or dessert, how about a warm fr uit cobbler with buttermilk ice cr eam? Vegan appetizers, entrees, and desser ts like egg-fr ee, dair y-free chocolate mousse ar e also av ailable. Most nights ar e a la car te, but on S aturday egypt war with israel night a $49 four-course prix-fix e dinner is served. Some folks gripe that meatless egypt war with israel far e should be less expensiv e, but I feel G reens prices are in line with vegetarian options at any upscale restaurant. If you can t get a table at lunchtime, pick up sandwiches fr om the G reens to G o takeout counter and hav e a picnic overlooking egypt war with israel the bay.
