City advice

Ways to save

Don’t eat on Lincoln Road or Ocean Drive

Please don’t eat on Lincoln Road or Ocean Drive. It is geared to tourists. The food quality is not good and the prices are not reasonable.
Getting around

North =Quiet, South=Wild

As you go farther towards North Beach (23 street and up) it is quieter and nicer. As you head towards South Beach ( towards 8th street) it gets very wild.
