Walking Tour: Irving Street in San Francisco

Introduction

There are some beautiful places in every city. However, we rarely think that the interesting places can be found even in our neighborhoods. In this essay, I am going to guide you down the Irving Street in San-Francisco. This is the street in the local Chinatown. I hope you will like this small trip!

The Place of Interest in My Neighborhood

We start our walk from the intersection of the Irving Street and the 24^th avenue and will go down to the 19^th avenue. You will find a lot of cafes, restaurants, shops, and salons there. The first place, which you can see is the Baskin Robbins store at the corner of the 24^th avenue. There you can taste the delicious ice-creams before our walk. The fine restaurant is located nearby the intersection of the Irving Street and the 23^rd avenue. It is named Marnee Thai Restaurant. If you like the exotic dishes, this place is, undoubtedly, for you. In particular, you can taste the spicy shrimp soup, the spicy green papaya salad, and many other dishes (“Top 10 Thai Food” n.pag.). The restaurant specializes in the authentic Thai food. Some of my friends like this place and often invite me to taste some Thai dishes. However, there are many other interesting places in my neighborhood.

One more Thai restaurant is located down the street. At Chabaa Thai Cuisine, you can also taste the national Thai dishes and take a rest. Besides, the Japanese restaurant is situated just across the street. They prepare delicious sushi. I like this place very much.

There are also a lot of stores in this area of the street. In particular, you can find the food, clothes, and even the mobile phones at the nearest shops.

At Uncle Benny’s Donut & Dacel, you can drink a cup of espresso or taste the pastry. Sometimes, I attend this place with my friends.

By the way, there are a lot of banks down the street including Wells Fargo, HSBC, Citibank, and Bank of the Orient. It will not be a problem to find the ATM in my neighborhood.

I advise you to visit Sheng Kee, the bakery and café. They offer a good menu at a reasonable price. Besides, I like the calm atmosphere there.

You can also visit the Indian restaurant. It is named Amisha Indian Cuisine and it is located at the intersection of the Irving Street and the 20^th avenue. Tofu Village is situated nearby. People like this place. They really prepare tasteful Korean B.B.Q. and other national dishes. I guess you will not be disappointed if you visit this café. The store selling the fresh juices is situated to the left from Tofu Village.

Conclusion

In order to sum up all above mentioned, it should be said that every neighborhood has some interesting places. Although they may seem ordinary, they are the places where you can relax and spend your free time with your family and friends. I think it is important for everyone to recognize that everyone should try to see the good in surrounding environment, because if we learn to see something good even in the simple and ordinary things, we will make our life much happier and better. There are no historic places or beautiful parks in my neighborhood but you can always find the place where you can take a rest and enjoy your time with friends. I like the place where I live and I will be happy to walk this street again with you.
