PARKING
& PARKING TIPS:
If you don't know where to look, parking can be challenge in our
neighborhood. We always encourage public transportation when possible.
However, it's easy to find parking closest to Polk St.,
which is 2 blocks west. And there are several paid parking
lots nearby:
- Paid
parking is available 2 blocks away at the Dulux paint store
lot on the corner of Polk and Pacific, $6 weekdays and $7 Fri.-Sat.
Arrangements can be made for event parking here.
- Another
lot is located on Pacific between Van Ness and Polk
- The
third lot is on Polk at Broadway adjacent to Walgreen's, which
is two blocks away.Walk up Broadway, turn right on Hyde.
- For
quick day visits, there is "green" 10 minute
parking on Hyde @ Pacific at the cafe across the street. Or
grab a cup of coffee and park in Cafe Nook's
driveway at Hyde @ Jackson for short stops.
- Loading
and unloading can be daunting in our corner: There
is also a yellow loading zone across the street, but we also
recommend pulling alongside our garage at the back of Lynch
Street.
TRANSPORTATION:
The center of Russian Hill is accessible
by the Hyde-Powell
cable car and two Muni
buses, the 41 (weekday rush hour only) and the 45.
The 19 runs along Polk Street, stopping frequently from Ghirardelli
Square to the Tenderloin.
The
Hyde Street/Powell Cable Car stops right outside the building
at Hyde and Pacific. Fare is $5 adults, children ride free. You
can catch the cable car from Market street @ Powell
Taxis

OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD HISTORY: Jack Kerouac wrote some of
his work in Neal Cassady’s tiny attic at 29 Russell
Street. Armistead Maupin’s fictional Barbary Lane
in Tales of the City was based on the beautifully landscaped
Macondray Lane, but the lesser-known Havens Street is where
Maupin lived when penning his page-turner. |
