Holiday accommodation in North Beach is plentiful and offers visitors a unique opportunity to stay in the heart of this thriving and authentic community.Entertainment in North Beach North Beach manages to pack a considerable amount of entertainment possibilities into an area that is less than a square mile. Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, often referred to as the Italian Cathedral and the setting for the 1954 wedding of Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio, is a popular attraction. Those interested in finding out more about the bohemian lifestyles of the beat generation will enjoy a visit to the Beat Museum on Broadway. This fascinating exhibition of unique memorabilia includes a mock-up of the North Beach apartments favored by the counterculture of the 1950s. Visitors lucky enough to be in the area in June shouldn't miss the annual North Beach Festivalfeaturing two days of live music, street painting and mouth-watering food and beverage. North Beach Restaurants As might be expected, the North Beach dining scene offers some delectable choices in Italian cuisine. For authentic service, old school charm and wonderful tiramisu, pay a visit to the North Beach restaurant on Telegraph Hill. Lighter fare including the infamous Turkey Delight can be enjoyed at the Korean-owned Petite Deli, while visitors to the Sotto Mare will delight in the great taste of fresh and simple clam chowder. The History of North Beach North Beach is the former home of the infamous red-light district known as the Barbary Coast. Following the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, the area attracted many Italian immigrants keen to take advantage of the work available at the local fishing wharves. The City Lights Bookstore is an official landmark and permanent reminder of the beatnik generation that later characterized the area. Although the original Italian American population has somewhat given way to an influx of young professionals and a border shift from the neighboring Chinatown, the area has retained its authentic appeal. North Beach Accommodation North Beach is home to some of the most delightful holiday apartments in San-Francisco. Offering a great alternative to hotel accommodation, many North Beach apartments boast breathtaking views across San Francisco Bay and place visitors right in the heart of everything that North Beach has to offer. |
