North Beach
Zoe’s guide to North Beach, San Francisco’s Little Italy.
Your unique base in San Francisco, Hotel Zoe sits right next to the bohemian charm of North Beach, one of the city’s most famous neighborhoods. Often referred to as ‘Little Italy,’ North Beach combines Old World elegance with a beatnik twist. And it’s all just steps from Zoe.
Parks
Presided over by the stately spires of Saints Peter and Paul Church, Washington Square Park is the perfect place to chill in North Beach. If you’re feeling more energetic, head uphill (up, up, uphill) to Coit Tower, where you’ll find historic murals and one of the best views in the city. Keep your ears open for the notoriously noisy parrots of Telegraph Hill.
Eat & Drink
Fuel your adventure with some picnic supplies at Little Vine on Grant Street, a local favorite for coffee, wine, chocolate, cheese, charcuterie and other necessities. Or try Mario’s Bohemian Cigar Store for hot focaccia sandwiches. Just around the corner is Tony’s Pizza Napoletana, home to long lines and award-winning pizza. For true old-school flavor, hit up Molinari Delicatessen for Italian subs.
Shopping
Time for some post-lunch shopping. If you’re a denim diehard, don’t miss the chance to talk selvedge with the experts at AB Fits. For more bespoke wares, there’s Al’s Attire, a bastion of custom tailoring and made-to-order clothing. If you’ve ever hankered for a fedora, Goorin Bros Hat Shop is the place. Booklovers and beatniks should head to the famous City Lights bookstore on Columbus.
Night Life
North Beach was made for a memorable night out. Indulge in the retro glamour of Park Tavern, known equally for its cocktails and cuisine. Get the full Little Italy experience at L’Osteria del Forno (the milk-braised pork is where it’s at). Relive the heyday of the Beats with drinks at Vesuvio (coincidentally located by Jack Kerouac Alley), or go even further back in time at Comstock Saloon, an homage to the neighborhood’s Barbary Coast days. And when you’re ready to call it a night, Zoe is right there to welcome you home.
