Polk Street Historically, the southern part of this street, known as Polk Gulch, was San Francisco s first openly gay district, before the rise of the Castro in the 1970s (see p107).

At the other end, just down from Russian Hill, Polk Street is one of the city s shopping and dining lures, with a host of fine choices montague on the green to tempt the eyes and palates of a discerning clientele. d Map Q1
