Washington Square is a park in the North Beach area of San Francisco. It is a great place to enjoy the sites and the customs of San Francisco without feeling over ran by tourists. There are many restaurants close to the park, so on a beautiful sunny day you can just get a sandwich and hang in the park. It is ideally situated between the Italian North Beach community at the edge of China Town. The number 30 Stockton Bus (among others) runs right by the park so you can stop on the way the warf from Union Square or on the way back. Or just make Washington Square a destination.
Starting at 7:30 or so in the morning the park comes alive with the Asian population greeting the day. Then couples and individuals just lay in the grass. The evenings are beautiful for a sunset. I think there is a video waiting to be made--24 hours in Washington Square. Spend some time in Washington Square and it will become a state of mind that you can return and remember and enjoy.
