North Beach
In the late 1800s, an enormous influx of Italian immigrants to North Beach firmly established this aromatic area as San Francisco’s “Little Italy.” Dozens of Italian restaurants and coffeehouses continue to flourish in what is still the center of the city’s Italian community. Walk down Columbus Avenue on any given morning, and you’ll be bombarded by the wonderful aromas of roasting coffee and savory pasta sauces. Although there are some interesting shops and bookstores in the area, it’s the dozens of eclectic little cafes, delis, bakeries, and coffee shops that give North Beach its Italian-bohemian character.
