Church Street


Church Street, which stretches from the lower Castro)through Noe Valley to the edge of Glen Park, has two main retail sections. The first is between 17th Street and Market. There you will find great restaurants, bookstores, and cafes. Just across from Safeway, on the other side of Market, is Burgermeister, which sells some spectacular burgers and sweet potato fries. Be sure to ask about the condiments.

From 24th Street to 30th Street, there are restaurants, cafes, and a lot of beauty salons and dry cleaners. There is also a fantastic church, St. Paul's, which was the site of the movie "Sister Act" with Whoopi Goldberg. The sermon on Sunday's is usually in Spanish and you will find a lot of worshipers from the Mission.

It's a great street to walk, but be ware, there are some serious uphills near Dolores Park. It will take a good 20-30 minutes to navigate Church Street, but it's well worth it (and, if you get tired, you can always hop on the J-Balboa muni line).
