North Beach is a neighborhood in the northeast of San Francisco adjacent to Chinatown, the Financial District, and Russian Hill. The neighborhood is San Francisco's "Little Italy" and has historically been home to a large Italian American population, largely from Northern Italy. [5]

Overlooking the San Francisco Bay, between Fisherman’s Wharf and Chinatown, North Beach is a lively, music-loving neighborhood with a distinctive Italian flavor. Gelato shops and trattorias sit alongside rock’n’roll bars and vintage stores, as well as a cluster of tourist attractions such as Coit Tower and the ferry to Alcatraz.

North Beach doesn’t have an actual beach. It does, however, have a vibrant and strong Italian-American community that, for generations, has seeded the neighborhood with fantastic restaurants and cafes. On the east side of Washington Square, vintage wooden houses climb Telegraph Hill, crowned by Coit Tower.
