There is a Psychedelic History museum on Ashbury in between Haight st &Page st. It's also a bed & breakfast called The Herb'n Inn. The gate is In the form of a fork, knife and plate! Truly special!Upvoted Feb 27
Jaron JamesJune 19, 2013Not your typical tourist spot, but if you're not the typical tourist you'll probably love it here for it's unique shops and character.Upvoted Feb 16
Fernando Freitas AlvesSeptember 22, 2014It is like a "Rua Augusta" here. I recommend you to go to the "Land of the Sun" and talk to Paul. He is incredible and he can tell you stories about Hendrix and Joplin and a lot of the 60's scene hereUpvoted Mar 17
Roy CudillaAugust 12, 2013victorian inspired houses in pastel colors, hippies, volkswagens and woodstock inspired decos. definitely a 60's flashback
- Kevin GrantSeptember 27, 2018No specific place here, but this little neighborhood is great to stroll through and has a ton of history as the origin of hippie counterculture
Jeff HackmeisterMay 31, 2012A must visit. A funky neighborhood full of want-to-be hippies and tourists but also some great coffee shops and a few nice local businesses
Chris SarandosAugust 21, 2011A very cool collection of shops, bars, and restaurants. However, be prepared to be bombarded by bums, people from green peace, and people trying to save planned parenthood. Really annoying...
Baxter BaxterMay 14, 2013Its like Disneyland, but instead of getting a picture with Mickey and buy a pair of mouse-ears, you get to know faux-hippies and buy tie dyed tshirts. Oh, consummerism at its best.
Westfield San Francisco CentreJuly 10, 2012Corazon Under the Dome celebrates the heart and soul of San Francisco. Come discover our history, music and culture at our free light spectacular starting at 5pm from now until September 3, 2012
Meg HughesJuly 28, 2010On Saturday a poet with an old fashioned type writer sits outside Ben & Jerry's and will type you a poem if you give him just one word to go by...length of poem based on what amount you pay. Really co
Duygu TunaJuly 15, 2016I already lived there in past life , it's pretty nice to been there again ...proceed in reading akashic records ;)
Trent MayoMay 12, 2010I've seen several things on the History channel about this place and thought it'd be cool to check out. It was actually pretty awesome-like an advanced Little 5 Points. Wish I could spend a day there!
Jennifer MurdockMay 31, 2013Dirty hippies and street kids. Awesome consignment shops. Sort of smelly. If you get ice cream I recommend a bowl not a cone. That stuff melts fast.
Reserve123.comSeptember 10, 2011Grab some ice cream on the corner at the Ben and Jerry's. Eat it while you walk up the hill to see the former Grateful Dead house.
ChadJuly 24, 2017In 50 years it went from the Summer of Love to a lame tourist trap and shopping plaza.
Adam DraperSeptember 2, 2011Check out the Jugtown Pirates. They've got a real Dead feel but add their own flavor. Great stuff!
Tracy FerklerJune 24, 2013Cool man but don't be surprised to see how commercial it has become since 1969. Way Groovy though
- Rika PutriMay 30, 2012Check out Amoeba music store at the end of Haight St. Collectible LP records, vintage posters, all sorts
Ray LopesSeptember 3, 2016Hippie trip, this is a must go if you're touristing through San Francisco!
Donnie WilsonOctober 24, 2011Love this neighborhood. The leaves are changing colors which reminds me of home in Autumn:)
KGGApril 20, 2013If your hobbys include not bathing and smoking large amounts of pot than this is the perfect place for you
Elizabeth A.August 24, 2010Saw the poet dude at ben and jerry's! If you're looking to avoid strung out weirdos shift one street over and walk to your destination. Neon victorian houses in cute neighborhoods.
Florence Antonette RDecember 23, 2009You can never get tired of this shopping experience. The atmosphere is tremendously chill and laid back. There's something here for everyone.
Cory O'BrienJanuary 20, 2012It's still frequented by the hippies that made this place famous, though capitalism has started to creep in. Just don't tell the locals.- KGGApril 20, 2013If your hobbys include not bathing and smoking large amounts of pot than this is your dream place
TheUrbanDailyMay 24, 2011In 1967 Sylvester 'Sly' Stewart formed the Family Stone w/ Cynthia Robinson on trumpet, Rosie Stone on piano, Greg Errico on drums, Jerry Martini on sax, Fred Stewart & Larry Graham on guitar/bass.
Carmen NguyenDecember 15, 2011Stop by whole foods to buy a $5 bottle of wine to pour into your soda cup while you stroll haight :)
- Travel ChannelNovember 30, 2010Haight Ashbury is the birthplace of the hippie movement, and it's continued to be a hipster's haunt for decades since. – Adam Richman, Man v. Food Read more
Here, you can't tell whether the poop you see on the street is animal or human.
Jobu JemasApril 14, 2014You would think that these dirty hippies would be better at playing the guitar with all there free time. But alas they are awful. Tip here is don't do drugs and stay in school kids.
Coming here makes me hate all of mankind. I want to punch the assholes trying to sell pot to everyone who passes.
