Tenderloin
There’s something a little tough about Tenderloin, but you’ll still want to sink your teeth into it.

Ten years ago, if you told someone you were going to visit the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, people might’ve thought you had some screws loose. However, in recent years, the Tenderloin has transformed itself into a trendy nook of Northern California’s best city. If you’re into street art, take a tour of some of the best murals in the city. Some of the artists who’ve contributed work include the likes of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, and Barry McGee. Those are some heavy hitters.
