Exploring San Francisco’s Mission District Neighborhood
Topics: san francisco mission, mission district, san francisco mission neighborhood, lofts in san francisco
The city of San Francisco has a variety of tourist attractions and “must see” places to visit. This short list often includes shopping on Union Square, taking a cable car ride across the city, enjoying the fresh seafood at the Fisherman’s Warf, a stroll through Chinatown, or a visit to the many museums and gardens in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. However, you have not begun to touch the many more cultural experiences that San Francisco has to offer until you spend some time in San Francisco’s Mission District.
Due to the fact that the Mission District was founded largely with a Hispanic influence in the early 1700s, there is a very strong Spanish influence marking the flavor of the Mission neighborhood. Although the area has diversified today to include people of all nationalities, the Spanish art for flair has continued to thrive in the area. In fact, today the Mission District has a strong flavor of independent and local artists as well as hipsters who help contribute to the continual urban flavor of the area.
One thing that may make your visit to the Mission District worthwhile is the wonderful window shopping the area offers. You can find everything from unique upstart clothing item, to house wares, to signature one of a kind gifts and accessories. The one thing you will not find is any major name brand label, because the one thing that everything in the Mission District has in common, is a unique one of a kind experience. This means there are thousands of items in the Mission District that you cannot find anywhere else, so make sure you stop there before you leave San Francisco if you are town.
For people who are not big shoppers, the Mission District in San Francisco also has plenty of restaurants to offer as well, such as the Alma which may be one of the few places where you get to sample South American cornmeal pancakes. For others who love the arts, you will also want to check out the many large murals that spam across the building sides on Mission.
Additionally, you will want to check out a film at the famed independent movie theater, The Roxie, while you are in the Mission District as well. As an added bonus, while you stroll through the Mission neighborhood you can absorb the local nightlife which includes clubs, bars, and even the occasional jazz or mariachi bands that you may find performing in the streets of San Francisco’s Mission district.
