Activity Description
Oscar Wilde once said, "It's an odd thing, but anyone who disappears is said to be seen in San Francisco. It must be a delightful city and possess all the attractions of the next world." Right he was, and one of the most delightful neighborhoods in the city is North Beach, San Francisco's Little Italy.
Full Exposure examines the complete history of North Beach, from the Barbary Coast times to the post-World War II Beat Era to today. It will focus on how this quaint neighborhood continually re-invents itself to keep with the times.
Learn about firemen fanatics, swindlers, drinkers, poets, gamblers, whiskey and why it's called North Beach in the first place, since there isn't any beach.
Highlights of this tour include:
- Washington Square Park, one of the country's "perfect parks"
- The oldest bar in town (unless they build an older one)
- The Condor, home of topless dancing. And bottomless dancing.
- The Killer Piano story
- The Hippodrome, the City's remaining dance hall from the Barbary Coast era
- The only downtown district to survive the 1906 Earthquake and Fire
- City Lights
The tour passes some of the City’s favorite restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, so bring an appetite or thirst for afterward.
Full Exposure discusses some very typical San Franciscans who made names for themselves by being themselves . . . which is what San Francisco is all about, right? Learn why this is the place to march to your own drummer.
