City Walks SF #30: Union Street and Chestnut Street

This weekend we went on several city walks, many of them through shopping and restaurant districts. This one included the affluent Marina District, where shops were way out of our price range. The walk also featured one of the city's two remaining octagon houses (I think the other we documented on an earlier city walk). These houses were once thought to be fortuitous. I suspect it has something to do with the Chinese roots of the city, but I can't be sure.



We also attempted to get our New Mexican margarita fix at Left at Albuquerque, but the menu was sadly disappointing. And thus began my day of drinking.
