Hayes Valley - Western Addition/JapantownHAYES VALLEY After the demolition of the Central Freeway in 1989 (after the Loma Prieta Earthquake) this once "frowned upon" neighborhood arose from the ashes and re-birthed as one of the cities trendiest enclaves. Within just a few blocks there live some of the cities' hippest restaurants, best galleries, low-key bars and funkiest boutiques. "...Where the crack houses and tenements once stood, now there are trendy fashion boutiques, SoHo-style funky art galleries, high-end interior-decorating shops, top-notch restaurants and hip nightspots." sfgate.com Points of Interest Pretty much all of the unique shops that make up Hayes Valley are the major points of interest! Make sure you check out Octavia's Haze Gallery - 498 Hayes St, it specializes in glassworks from Bay Area artists.
