卡斯特罗 / Noe Valley
Regardless of your sexual orientation, no trip to San Francisco is complete without a visit to the world-famous 卡斯特罗 District, one of the country's first gay 社区.
This progressive, 接受, creative and diverse neighborhood is also home to some of the most welcoming residents in the city. The activism of the '60s and '70s forged a community with sizable political and economic power that rallied around the likes of Harvey Milk. When the historic Twin Peaks bar at Market and 卡斯特罗 streets was built with floor-to-ceiling windows, most took it as a sign that 卡斯特罗 residents were secure in their gay identity.
Nearby Noe Valley, a village of wooden Victorian houses, has a touch of the 卡斯特罗’s flair and an easygoing mix of hipsters and families. It is also colloquially known as Stroller Valley for the many strollers in the neighborhood.
