It's the land of pizza, birthplace of the Beat Generation (and topless dancing), home of classic bars, and historic center of Italian-American life in San Francisco. And though North Beach draws tourist crowds aplenty, it also fosters a distinctly local way of life for its many residents.

And so, North Beach locals, we'd like to hear from you: what do you love most about your neighborhood? Is it the plethora of Italian dining options? The bawdy late-night scene? The area's sense of history, literary pedigree, or stellar views?

Whether it's a specific business you can't live without, a person or place that deserves appreciation, or a hidden feature that's secretly awesome, we want to hear about it. Let us know what you think in the comments below, and look out for a future story summarizing what we heard from local readers.
