If you're coming to San Francisco and don't visit this part of the city you’ve missed out. San Francisco has evolved over the last 15 years (or 6 months) but this is the heart of the city. It’s Little Italy, it’s where the Beats birthed ‘cool’ and it’s full of great cafés and shops to explore. Chinatown? . . . it’s the largest in North America and the largest Chinese community outside Asia. A place where its possible to forget where you are, eat the finest Chinese cuisine and if you’re lucky catch a festival. And if your fortune cookie says “I cannot help you, for I am just a cookie” don’t despair just ask for another.

In a time when it seems like there is a new, hip San Francisco bar or restaurant opening every other day, sometimes you just want something that feels familiar and completely unpretentious. Located right on the water along the Embarcadero, Pier 23 could not sit in a more picturesque location, but don’t be fooled by the view - this place is no frills. The food is ok, but a cold beer, the view and Bay breeze are the real reasons to stay.
