Geography Haight-Fillmore is also known as Lower Haight (as opposed to Haight-Ashbury / Upper Haight). In general terms, it lies between Oak Street and Duboce Avenue, and between Divisadero Street and Market Street. The area slopes down from Oak Street toward Duboce. Duboce Park, toward the corner of Duboce and Scott, is a small park with a playground, used mainly for dog-walking. It is not uncommon to witness drug use at night. Description A mixture of restaurants, independent nightclubs, drinking establishments, residences, and hair salons characterize the Haight-Fillmore atmosphere. Highlights include Toronado's ridiculously abundant supply of local, domestic, and foreign beers on tap, Indian Oven's delicious curry cuisine, and native lower haight clothing store Upper Playground.
There are also several stores that cater to the DJ and electronic music buff. For example, Tweekin Records has carried some of the best house vinyl in the city since 1992. Differences between Lower and Upper Haight include the housing projects in the Lower Haight, and the greater number and variety of shops. The houses tend to be less ornately painted than in the Upper Haight, and rent can be cheaper. The neighborhood is also home to a large Buddhist enclave associated with San Francisco Zen Center. Transportation The area is very well served by several San Francisco Municipal Railway (MUNI) bus lines and it is a few blocks away from all of the MUNI Metro lines. The heart of the neighborhood, at the corner of Fillmore and Haight, is mere blocks away from the transit nexus of Church and Market, which is also the location of the city's largest supermarket. Surveys show that this neighborhood has one of the highest number of daily trips by bike per capita of any San Francisco neighborhood, and walking is also very popular. Buses The neighborhood is served by the east-west Haight Street lines of 6, 7, 66 and 71, which connect downtown with various neighborhoods around and west of the Upper Haight. The 22 line runs north-south along Fillmore Street, connecting the Marina District with the bay side of Potrero Hill. The 24 line also runs north-south, along Divisadero, connecting Pacific Heights with the Mission and Hunter's Point neighborhoods. The 16 follows Oak (inbound) and Fell (outbound) Streets, but is a commuter express with only one stop inbound (A.M., at Oak and Franklin) and outbound (P.M., at Fell and Gough). Metro All five Muni Metro lines pass through the adjacent Duboce Triangle neighborhood. The N and J lines stop at Duboce and Church. The K, L and M stop at Church Street Station, at Church and Market. Parking There are no commercial parking lots in this neighborhood, and the on-street parking is extremely congested. As with most central and downtown San Francisco neighborhoods, it is advisable to find other methods of transportation, such as bicycles, public transportation, or taxis.
