Books, Coffee, North Beach

North Beach makes a good case for letting one address lead to another. Espresso at Caffe Trieste, pizza on Green Street and a proper browse at City Lights give the day a backbone. For the evening, choose a concert or a stand-up bill from the neighbourhood’s established rooms and book accordingly.
