Lonely Planet review for Beat Museum

Parrots and poetry make the air of North Beach seem rarified - or maybe that's just the heady aroma of espresso brewing and pizza baking. Beat writers Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti made this Italian neighborhood the proving ground for free spirits and free speech in the 1950s, as chronicled in the Beat Museum, and the escaped parrots who flock here make it an actual urban jungle.
