Exploring San Francisco's Union Square

When I began planning my second trip to San Francisco I wanted to be near several neighborhoods, exceptional restaurants, and shopping.   I booked my trip through Expedia and got a great deal on a luxury hotel a half-block from Union Square in the Financial District.   Union Square is in walking distance to Chinatown and North Beach.   I recommend using the Bart station or cable cars to access other parts of the city or to avoid infamous hills.   Union Square is also a convenient area, because it’s near pharmacies and clothing shops should you need to make a quick purchase.   So, without further ado, here are my favorite places in the Union Square area.
