West Portal, both a neighborhood and a street.

A lovely enclave that is still a mix of the older San Francisco and the new.

You can still find the original "counter joints" for a Patty Melt, as well as a shoe repair shop, and one of the best independant toy stores in the city- Ambassador Toys. West Portal has a certain charm. The MUNI has a station there for easy access to the whole city. Yet you can walk to Stern Grove for a summer time concert- or ride your bike to the Ocean or Zoo.

The beautiful surroundings of West Portal, from Saint Francis Woods an exclusive residential area, to Parkside a wonderful area full of Spanish mediterranean homes- West Portal ia a great family neighborhood!
