The "Love and Peace era" is 40 years ago -and gone! So there is this only street left in S.F. whith some out of ordinary shops along the road and plenty, plenty, plenty of destroyed and drugged young people sitting on the boardwalk. They do not harm - as they are somewhere in their world, but : Do I want... More

Great to wander up one side and own the other . Some interesting shops that you might not see anywhere else.

Revisited area after many years as my 20 something son wanted to see where it was "happening". The area has seen it's days many times and there seems to be a resurgence of the past "hippie" days with a new crop of fun and adventure seekers. Although there seems to be a sense of "peace & love" conveyed by shop... More

I actually took time out to go here and it was so overrated! I was expecting something like Camden in London but this is far from it. I dont even have a name for this. There was a nice fabric store but even for that I wouldnt make the trip over again. If you dont have to be here, avoid... More

The Summer of Love was over 40 years ago- get over it. The only really special thing about the Haight is Amoeba Music. Cha-Cha's is still good. Ho-hum.

Good if you like second-hand, clothes exchange and vintage stores. Good food and drinking options and beautiful Golden Gate Park nearby.

Gosh I have heard so much about the Haight-Asbury district as I was growing up, that there is no way I was NOT going to go there on my first trip to San Fransisco! And it didn't dissapoint. First we went to the Golden Gate park and walked around. There really isn't much about the park to be honest, just... More

Seedy area, seems to have not progressed since the 1960's though there is some gentrification of the houses.

Spent a few hours in the Haight Ashbury area and enjoyed the coffee shops and boutiques. Most fun was hanging out in a cafe watching all the people walk by. Side streets were interesting too. Lots of funky painted homes... a real community feel to it.

When in the Haight, visit Ben and Jerry's as well as Coffee to the People. Treasures can be found in the Tibetian store. Nice area to visit.
