SF Chinatown Foodie Crawl - As many as eight stops!

San Francisco Chinatown
Hello, fun-loving adventurous eaters! Dean and Annie are putting together a foodie crawl through SF Chinatown. We’ll meet at the corner of Clay and Stockton and meander from shop to shop, noshing as we go, buying one or two items per shop and all sharing our bounty.

The shops will be ones Annie's heard or read about (or attendees can recommend), about eight (8) items total. Two of us will purchase while others wait outside. Any money remaining will be divided and returned to the participants, including the hosts who are also paying. If we run out of money the event is over, but we are not anticipating that being an issue.

We’ll be walking throughout San Francisco Chinatown, it’ll be crowded and there are some hills. Afterwards we'll go to a coffee shop in North Beach and get something warm to drink, sit down, and socialize.

This Event is happening light rain or shine; will reschedule if absolutely pouring.

History
San Francisco's Chinatown is one of the largest outside of Asia, starting around 1850 during the early gold rush years.

Historically and Culturally significant to San Francisco this vibrant community commands international attention from food to shows, shops, night markets and is a choice film and TV location. A world destination that we locals are fortunate to have access to year round.

While tourists are attracted to and many visit San Francisco Chinatown, this is a community of people who live and work here, not an amusement park.

Come with us and enjoy something familiar or something new.
