Grace Cathedral
The cathedral entrance has a large pair of doors, often called the "Ghiberti doors". They are reproductions of the doors of the Florence Baptistery by Lorenzo Ghiberti, also dubbed the "Gates of Paradise".

Some other notable features include in the cathedral are 7,290 square feet (677 m2) of stained glass windows by noted artists. Furthermore they have several artifacts with a conveniently placed tablet sharing info about it.

Haight St & Ashbury St
(Giving off cool vibes, homes of music legends and Victorian Homes)
Haight-Ashbury draws a lively, diverse crowd looking to soak up the historic hippie vibe. Upper Haight Street is a hodgepodge of vintage clothing boutiques, record shops, bookstores, dive bars and casual, eclectic restaurants. Bordering Golden Gate Park, the neighborhood features many colorful, well-preserved Victorian homes, including the storied Grateful Dead House.
You might be interested in Christianshavn, Copenhagen giving off similar vibes.
Love on Haight was particularly cool featuring tie dye works of over 200 artist. Feeling the love and groovy vibes.

A fun side attraction to check out before walking through the district to view the Victorian homes and catch a glimpse of the Grateful Dead  house which was occupied by the legendary band Grateful Dead in the mid-sixties. You might wanna check out the house used in filming Mrs Doubt Fire, which became a make-shift tribute to Robin Williams on his passing

Castro Halloween Block Party

SAN FRANCISCO -- Halloween in the Castro is back after a 17-year hiatus. A mass shooting in 2006 was the final straw for organizers to pull the plug on the event.

A nice fun family friendly event welcomed by all to enjoy the colorful side of San Fran.
