There are many wonderful neighborhoods in the city from North Beach to the Mission and more. How about the Dogpatch? This odd sounding neighborhood will surely surprise you.

The Dogpatch neighborhood is located on the eastern side of San Francisco, next to the waterfront, and to the east of Potrero Hill. Its boundaries are Mariposa Street to the north, I-280 to the west, Cesar Chavez to the south.
