Haight Ashbury - San Francisco

"The Haight" is what Haight Ashbury is commonly known as. The name comes from the streets of the Haight and Ashbury intersection. The former home of the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and many hallucinogenics - even though it's way beyond these notorious times, Haight Ashbury is still a premier neighborhood to visit. With hundreds of shops and cool restaurants it's a must see. Today upscale boutiques and stores dominate the corners of Haight and Ashbury streets. In fact, on the corner of Haight and Ashbury now lies a Gap clothing store. But don't let that fool you, there's still plenty to see and do in this neighborhood.

Notable places to visit when in the Haight is Duboce Park, a place where you will see many dogs enjoying their time outside and being walked by their owners. Restaurants worth visiting is Squat & Gobble Cafe and Crepes on Cole. During your San Francisco tour from San Francisco Comprehensive Tours will will drive by The Haight on our way to the Japanese Tea Garden.
