Haight-Ashbury District

Named for the intersection of Haight and Ashbury Streets, the district is best known for its role at the center of the 1960’s “hippie” movement and modern American counterculture. The area still maintains it bohemian ambiance, though it is continually changing.
Haight-Ashbury is home to a number of independent restaurants and bars, as well as clothing boutiques, booksellers and record stores. It is also home to many restored Victorian houses - Painted Lady Victorians are a common sight throughout the neighborhood.
