Later on and deeper into Chinatown we would find anything but peace on the bustling and energizing streets, where the produce, meat and fish markets seemed to buzz all...

A good muni map of all city buses and you can connect to anywhere. A great place to explore those special out of the way shops and eats.

I can't wait for Chinese New Year in SF and the amazing parade of dragons, firecrackers and kids in great costumes that grace the streets of downtown and Chinatown (Feb 19, 2011): http://www.chineseparade.com/. The Year of the Rabbit is very lucky. Gung Hay Fat Choy!
