How about a walk around San Francisco’s own little Italy, North Beach, today? I love North Beach, its funky little back alley shops, my favorite bookshop, City Lights Bookstore (home to beatniks like Jack Kerouac), every one’s favorite custom tailor, Al’s Attire, and more Italian food choices than you could possibly ever need, all nestled beneath historical Coit Tower. And it smells so good - loads of yummy Italian spices in the air. Here’s a glimpse of one of San Francisco’s most historical neighborhoods and one of my very favorites.
