Castro District San Francisco
Although the influence of the gay community is felt everywhere in San Francisco, and there are gay and lesbian clubs in nearly every part of the city, the Castro District is considered the "Gay Mecca" of the city and should be high on your list of places to visit if your tastes run in that direction. This upscale community is filled with great restaurants, specialty shops and cafes.

Yes, there are bars for every imaginable taste and a number of Novelty shops at the end of Market Street, but the community has a lot more to offer. You can't visit this neighborhood without stopping by the historic Castro Theater, a grand movie palace held over from another era - complete with a mighty Wurlitzer Organ, pre-film concerts and plenty of ambience. Castro is also the home of the annual Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Celebration Parade and the Castro Street Fair which bring out hundreds of thousands of participants and spectators every year.
