From the junction of Arguello and Carl, i.e., the UCSF parking garage, it runs parallel to Golden Gate Park through 48 blocks of residential housing and business storefronts, straight out to the beach. In a future issue we hope to venture beyond 9th Ave, where much of the hustle and bustle of the Inner Sunset occurs. Readers are invited to write about any gems you may come upon during your strolls down Irving.
More extensive reviews are welcome, too.
This past spring MUNI was planning to cut them down to accomodate new wheelchair ramps, but neighbors won a fight to keep the trees intact. Businesses appear around 5th Avenue with Daily Dose, one of the many popular coffeehouses in the neighborhood, where you can usually spot a classmate studying on any given night. It's a small, cozy, well-lit place which has become a favorite meeting place for people from all walks of life. Like most cafes, the Daily Dose is not a bargain when it comes to food, but their salads are immense and they sell delicious sweets. Hours are 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m.-11 p.m. weekends.
