North Beach

The noodle wars are coming back, as the street food festival Noodle Fest will pit 29 North Beach and Chinatown restaurants against one another in a noodle contest with celebrity judges Martin Yan, Soleil Ho, and Broke-Ass Stuart.

An "Avengers"-style squad of SF graffiti artists have joined forces to liven up the exterior of a building destroyed by a massive fire last March.

The installation of more Big Belly trashcans highlights an ongoing rift between Public Works and neighborhood groups over trashcans.

Facing a vacancy crisis, North Beach neighborhood groups are trying to get consensus on the retailers locals would like to see.

Five years ago, the North Beach farmers Market was canceled due to a lack of support.

The new market will take over a parking lot next to Piazza Pellegrini on Columbus Avenue.
