Additional Details:
Grant Avenue is the main artery of San Francisco Chinatown. Here is the largest Chinese settlement outside of the Orient. Pagoda roofs, quaint costumes, rare and different foods, foreign papers, shops and bazaars selling porcelains, lacquer-work, silks and jewelry - all combine to bring the charm and graciousness of the Old World to the bustle of the New.
