North Beach Old and New

I don't write about North Beach much because I don't visit this neighborhood very often. Beyond the occasional visit to City Lights Books and Tony's Pizza (and my bimonthly visits to the Hustler Club, of course), I don't have much reason to go there. But, I was there this weekend to visit the Live Worms Gallery and check out the Poetry Store and it reminded me of how charming this place can be. My friend Shannon and I had a great afternoon here earlier this year when we went to Zoetrope and shared some wine with strangers for example. Plus, there's taffy. I like taffy.

Therefore, in an effort to share more of San Francisco than my typical three block radius, I thought I'd post this video about SF's own little piece of Italy. Enjoy.
