Birthplace of the Hippie culture and ground zero for the Summer of Love, Haight Ashbury still remains as a symbol of the counter-culture. In the late '60s, it was not unusual to bump into the Grateful Dead, Santana and Janis Joplin, all in one day. The Beatles once had an apartment here and it was rumored that they signed their names on fresh concrete that was setting on the sidewalk.

San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf gets its name and neighborhood characteristics from the city's early days of the mid to later 1800s when Italian immigrant fishermen came to the city by the bay to take advantage of the influx of population due to the gold rush. Today, it is one of the city's busiest tourist areas. Souvenir shops and stalls selling crab and clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls appear at every turn, as do postcard views of the bay, Golden Gate and Alcatraz. There’s also a colony of sea lions to see and historic ships to tour. At Ghirardelli Square, boutiques and eateries reside in the famed former chocolate factory.
