Lonely Planet review for Alamo Square

The finest restaurants in town can’t provide views as spectacular as the picnic tables atop Alamo Square Park facing Steiner St’s Postcard Row, a row of pastel Victorian ‘Painted Lady’ houses with gingerbread detailing and frosting flourishes that may leave you craving dessert. The city skyline looms in the background, and from the corner of Steiner and Fulton Sts you can glimpse City Hall. On the crest of the hill, check out the old shoes creatively reused as planters. On foggy days, you may want to wear a parka – as you can guess from the wind-sculpted pines, it can get a tad blustery up here.

    Famous from the sitcom Full House

    steveomac recommends this,

    The opening credits to Full House (think John Stamos) where the family are running across a sloped park with colourful terraced houses behind. It sure is pretty up here
