Socal as Norcal gets. Almost a mirror image of Union Street (as far as appeal goes), Chestnut Street has a distinctive personality, created by Art Deco architecture and hip, professional patrons. Plenty of shopping and dining venues are available, and brunch, followed by a lazy stroll, is a favorite pastime on quiet weekends. If you’re looking to window-shop, hang out at a local cafe, or just soak in some local color and people-watch, head a few blocks north of Union Street to this exciting area.
Grant Avenue and Bush Street, or perhaps just happen upon the district while making your way about San Francisco, you can’t help but be impressed by this city-within-a-city. Along its streets, exotic ingredients are hawked, silks and jade are proffered, and colorful mementos are sold to tourists. The community is more than show, however, and residents celebrate the Chinese New Year with verve, take pride in their beautiful Miss Chinatown, and hold fast to time-tested traditions. Give yourself over to it all while you’re there, even if it’s just to nibble on dim sum delicacies, and be swept away by the bustle and the fun.
Squeezed largely between Jackson and Geary Streets, this stretch of Fillmore Street features an assortment of fascinating shops that offer everything from skin care products to fresh-ground coffee and specialty teas. A theater, a club, and an assortment of restaurants and home design places draw folks to the trendy area too. Fillmore itself is on a fairly steep hill, so be sure to bring your walking shoes. Or, better yet, pick up some new, nifty ones along the way. Besides cute boutiques, this is a great stretch of San Francisco to sit with a latte and observe some of the latest Northern California styles.
The Landmark Embarcadero Center is an underutilized downtown shopping area, often overshadowed by The Westfield Mall and Union Square. But if you’re on Embarcadero and want a smaller, more intimate shopping experience, stroll through the interconnected four buildings that make up the center. From Ambassador Toys to Boudin Bakery to Edward’s Luggage and Gifts, the stores may be a bit more expensive than local malls but the quality is worth it. Like the products sold, the Embarcadero Cinema plays only independent, thoughtful films and is a favorite movie house for locals. If you happen to be around on a Sunday, head over to the Ferry Building for their farmer’s market.
One of the best shopping malls in San Francisco, Westfield Centre is ideally located just two blocks from Union Square and features more than 170 alluring boutiques. Inside, you’ll find Bloomingdale’s and the second-largest Nordstrom in the country, as well as Betsey Johnson, Herve Leger, Kenneth Cole and H&M. Delightful sit-down and quick-serve restaurants stand poised to meet refreshment needs of all kinds, and the complex also includes a nine-screen movie theater. This mall underwent a recent renovation, so it’s a must-visit. Since it’s in the heart of downtown, once you’ve finished your shopping, head across the street to the Powell Street cable car for an unforgettable ride all the way to Fisherman’s Wharf.
Most malls are usually enclosed, maybe for protection against summer’s heat and winter’s cold. Although a lot of the Ferry Builiding’s artisanal shops are inside, many booths also spring up outside on the weekends to take advantage of the the Ferry Buildings glorious location right on San Francisco Bay with a view of both the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Bridge. If you want more out of your shopping experience than just a pile of stuff, head to the Ferry Building, an iconic San Francisco structure. A popular destination for anyone who loves to cook or eat, the Marketplace offers a variety of specialty food stores and restaurants. A farmers market is held outside on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
which is itself surrounded by a host of upscale shopping venues. In fact, the district is generally acknowledged as the city’s main shopping haven. In the vicinity are Macy’s, Saks, Gumps and Gucci; they, along with other retail standards, keep shoppers busy for hours. Restaurants and theaters are also found here, as is convenient garage parking. Transportation is easily accessible, and public concerts are an occasional diversion. Even better, the busy district affords great people-watching. It’s accurate to consider Union Square the heart of the city, so be sure to spend at least an afternoon there to complete your San Francisco trip.
