Lombard street is actually the only road that leads to the Golden Gate Bridge Bride as you leave San Francisco driving north via the Golden Gate Bridge. Lombard street is part of Highway 101 and subject to heavy traffic during the rush hours. However, there is a small section of Lombard street considered as America's crookedest street! This particular section of Lombard street is located between Hyde street where the cable car runs and the scenic Leavenworth street that ends down in the fisherman's wharf!
Lombard Street is a very steep and hilly street with sharp curves to switchback. The street is full of flowers including the famous Hydrangeas flowers. They are gorgeous and start usually blooming by April/May. Also, Lombard is home to interesting houses-the blue house you will see on the left side as you drive or walk down Lombard is a famous one! It was built by the famous architect Julia Morgan who was born in San Francisco on January 20, 1872 . She also built the famous hearts castle in San Simeon. They both remind us of the Bavarian Architectural style in southern Germany!
Lombard Street is the only street that takes visitors through North beach via Washington Square winding its way up to telegraph hill where lies the imposing Coit Tower.
San Francisco's N.B Beach is the actual area, in the north-eastern part of the city, is a bustling part of San Francisco with vibrant flavor and a lively, fun atmosphere. Known primarily for its Italian roots and its Mediterranean climate, North Beach is a beautiful vibrant part of the city that is central to San Francisco's life and economy.
Sheltered from ocean breezes by Russian Hill, N.B Beach is often sunny on days when the rest of San Francisco is shrouded in fog. North Beach is a hub of restaurants, boutiques, and sightseeing. From Coit Tower to the Cable Cars, to St. Peter and Paul's Church, to Washington Square Park, N.B. is filled with things to see on a walk before dinner or after lunch. Nearly all of North Beach's restaurants are high quality and reasonably priced. N.B. Beach is also known for its sidewalk cafes that keep the sidewalks buzzing, and for its authentic Italian restaurants that have been in business for generations. The cuisine in North Beach is impeccable, no restaurant or cafe will disappoint. It could be said that North Beach is a huge contributor to San Francisco's European feel, with its relaxed, chic ambience.
Another aspect of N.B. fame is its concentration of topless bars and adult stores. For the adult visitors who are looking for a wilder time, Lower Broadway at the farther end of N.B is home to a number of adult entertainment venues. These venues range in quality from cheap to high quality. A direct descendent from North Beach's Barbary Coast days, the striptease bars in North Beach attract a large and diverse clientele. The Condor Club was opened in 1964 as America's first topless bar; The Lusty Lady is the world's only worker cooperative nightclub. A number of venues were also instrumental in the San Francisco punk scene of the 70s and 80s. Clubs like the Mabuhay Gardens, the Stone, and On Broadway made the San Francisco music scene the innovative power-house that it is.
