A favorite of Marina residents. Fillmore Street Fillmore, between Jackson and Bush streets, is chic boutiques, handmade gifts and elegant housewares. Not a place for bargain hunting, although there are a few vintage clothing stores. Although a Gap looms over the corner of Haight and Ashbury , a non-conformist vibe still lurks in the many small stores selling alternative clothes, shoes and accessories. Bargain hunters will find heaps of great vintage clothes.
Prices vary, so it's wise to comparison-shop.
Union Square Union Square is the shopping hub in the City. Every major haute couture, jewelry and department store has a presence here, including Neiman-Marcus , Saks Fifth Avenue , Macy's and Nordstrom . Parking is a pain, so be sure to take this handy map with you. Most notable are the designer boutiques, upscale chains and gift shops. A tiny street hidden away in North Beach , upper Grant Avenue has many locally owned and operated clothing and gift shops.
