San Francisco
Dogpatch’s best
The historic Dogpatch neighborhood has working-class roots and is home to some of the city’s oldest structures, including sweet Edwardian Victorian cottages as well as dockside warehouses and factories. It feels remote from the rest of the city and is a neighborhood in transition. There’s a lot to see and do in here–restaurants, breweries, wine tasting, an ice cream shop, two chocolatiers, a butcher, a cheese shop, a museum, artist studios, shops, a bouldering gym, and more. Take time to explore.
