Hayes Valley

  • Rising like a phoenix from the ashes of racial unrest in what used to be a very rundown African-American slum, this small area has now become one of San Francisco’s hipper shopping and dining districts. The dismantling of an ugly freeway overpass following the 1989 earthquake helped turn the tide, along with the razing of a housing project nearby. The result is a chic area that hasn’t lost its edge. Hayes Valley festivals occur at midsummer and Christmas, when the streets are thronged with revelers.
