Golden Gate National Parkstore

This shop is a buried treasure amid all the hoopla of the Wharf area. All the information you need for visiting the Bay Area’s parks, plus great little souvenirs.
Grant Avenue

The southernmost four blocks are chic shopping off Union Square; then you enter eight blocks of exotic Chinatown emporiums; finally, Upper Grant is all about North Beach hangouts.
Greenwood

Marin’s finest shop for one-of-a-kind handcrafted items made by local, regional, national, and international artisans.
Gumps

Founded in 1861 by German immigrants, this homegrown department store is an institution. It has the largest collection in the US of fine china and crystal, selling famous names such as Baccarat and Lalique. The store is also celebrated for its Oriental treasures, rare works of art, and its window displays.
Haight Street

This is still hippie-central – secondhand clothing and esoteric emporiums (see Haight-Ashbury).
Hayes Valley

These blocks offer shopping with an avant garde feel.
Jeremy’s

A fabulous discount clothing boutique for men’s and women’s fashions. Labels include Prada, Gucci, Armani, Ralph Lauren, DKNY, and more – all at reduced prices.
John Wheatman & Associates

Understated, somewhat Oriental elegance in warm, cozy tones is what this showroom is all about. If you’re not in the market for antiques or designer furniture, stop by for their subtle pottery or paintings.
L’Art Deco Français

This is the US branch of a remarkable collection of French furniture and objets d’art from the 1920s to the 1950s. On display are extraordinary tables, lamps, ironworks, ceramics, glass, paintings, sculptures, and more.
Macy’s

This old-guard department store has now become an all-purpose emporium carrying merchandise in all price ranges. Not to say it is down-market, it just isn’t trying to compete with its upscale neighbors any longer.
