With an original "craggy", chaparral covered landscape, and even though a manageable distance to the heart of 19th century San Francisco, Russian Hill remained sparsely populated. Caused by the terrain making for difficult accessibility & residential construction. This led to Russian Hill being sought out by certain rebels and those who wanted relief from the hubbub of the City becoming a haven for a, "bohemian aristocracy" of writers, poets, artists and their benefactors. While Nob Hill became known for its "Castles in the Air". Russian Hill's Castles were its "Cottages in the Air".
Along our way we'll take a look at some of those, "Cottages in the Air".
We'll examine Historic Districts and the lane that was the setting for "Tales of the City" and see how the pattern was set for the development and evolution of Russian Hill into the modern era.

We have beautiful stair paths with gorgeous views to walk along today.
We'll talk about the substantial and varied architecture and even see a small cluster of Victorians that somehow survived the 06' Fire.
With many stair paths to climb and descend, I would definitely wear sturdy footwear. No sandals or flimsy footwear today.

I can't resist going out for lunch afterward, being only a stones throw from North Beach. (Anybody have a fantastic recommendation?) Otherwise my go to for lunch/brunch afterwards is La Mediterranee at Fillmore & Sacramento for their Middle Eastern sampler plate along with Moroccan mint tea with a refill to go.
