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.

Get wood and custom furniture.
The elaborate wooden bar which is currently in use was installed in the 1860s, and was constructed outside of America and later shipped to San Francisco. The Saloon is located in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco, although in the 1860s its location occurred near the northern border of the Barbary Coast district. During that time the Barbary Coast had scores of dance halls and concert saloons.
