San Francisco Neighborhood Guide: Cole Valley
For many travelers, a big part of their travel experience is seeing, smelling, tasting and experiencing the same things that the locals see, smell, eat and experience every day. Rather than join the crowds in the touristy areas, they seek out sights and experiences that are off the beaten path and authentic. Travelers who want more than a t-shirt and an overpriced lunch seek out places like the San Francisco neighborhood of Cole Valley. Cole Valley is primarily a residential community within San Francisco. A small town within a world-class city, Cole Valley’s unofficial borders are Stanyan Street and the Sutro Forest on the west, Tank Hill on the south, Clayton Street on the east and Frederick Street on the north.

Haight-Ashbury, or simply “The Haight,” is another San Francisco neighborhood with a reputation that extends far beyond city limits. Generally considered the epicenter of the counterculture movement in the mid-to-late sixties, The Haight was the ultimate destination for thousands of disaffected youths who Timothy Leary encouraged to tune in, turn on and drop out. The first hippies were drawn to The Haight by a surplus of housing and cheap rent.

Some Wineries Cracking Down on Limousines and Buses
Some unfortunate and unnecessary incidents at wineries from Napa Valley to Long Island have forced various winemakers to institute new policies regarding groups of people arriving for tastings in limos and party buses. Some people have abused the whole purpose of wine tastings in order to get drunk on the cheap, and this has led to incidents of fisticuffs, loud, obnoxious behavior and most unwelcome conduct. This behavior puts the winemakers in an unenviable position. On one hand, wine tastings are a very important part of their marketing and viability as businesses. Many winemakers rely on tastings for up to 85 percent of their sales as people who attend for the right reasons taste wines and buy them on the spot.
