San Francisco - North Beach

 
North Beach - a misleading name if ever there was one, there is definitely no beach here now - is one of the liveliest parts of San Francisco; its streets throng with immigrant peoples from all corners of the globe.

San Francisco's nightclub and discoland is reached by continuing north along Grant Avenue, the main street running through Chinatown.

Ice cream shops, cafes, and all kinds of restaurants line the streets. The area is busy day and night and is popular with families or individuals.
