Don’t Stick To Grant Avenue In Chinatown

The San Francisco Examiner

Chinatown in San Francisco is the largest and oldest in the US. It is a very popular attraction, and not just for tourists. The green-tile roofs, the dragon lanterns, and the art deco make for great pictures. Not to mention the various places to eat different types of really great Chinese food. But don’t be like most tourists and stick to Grant Avenue. It is one of the oldest streets in Chinatown, and has a lot to offer. That is why most tourists visit Grant Avenue thinking it is the best place to visit in Chinatown. Many stores and restaurants know that most tourists will visit, so their prices are jacked up just for that. If you want to enjoy the best Chinatown has to offer, explore the alleyways – Spofford Alley, Ross Alley, Waverly Place, and Stockton Street. If you fancy dimsum, the best is at the City View along Commercial Street, but it’s only open for lunch.
