Finally, we do have some dodgy neighborhoods y ou might consider av oiding. The Tenderloin (p. 53) isn t great, although it is home to a huge immigrant population that manages to live side by side with drug addicts, hookers, and v agrants. E venings are par ticularly r ough; daytime is okay.

Despite these perks, this wouldn t be my first choice of a neighborhood to stay in. The str eets ar e practically deserted at night, ex cept for homeless people. B ut, on the upside, it s r eally quiet.

MODERATE Pazzia ITALIAN This restaurant, a quick walk from the Yerba Buena Center and the Museum of Modern Art, serves simple and satisfying dishes like excellent pizza, delicious pasta, and roasted meats and chicken. The uncomplicated menu is a delightful California twist on traditional Italian fare. The staff is warm and friendly to kids, and it s definitely a family-oriented little place. If you re in the area and want a real, sit-down meal, there s no better pick for the price.
