"Castro Gulch's service saved my marriage" ~Satisfied Customer Castro gulchHarold, Manager 2352 Market St.
Castro Gulch is located in San Francisco’s Castro district. Steep streets and brightly painted Victorian houses give this upper Market "Gay Mecca" neighborhood that distinct San Francisco look. The Castro is a series of imaginative boutiques, bookstores and bars. Novelty items abound in shops at the end of Market Street between 16th and 17th Streets. Also of note are Harvey Milk Plaza, dedicated to one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States, and Pink Triangle Park, a memorial to 15,000 lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender Holocaust victims. In June, the Castro Gulch participates in the one of the worlds largest Pride events. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Celebration Parade draws nearly 500,000 participants and spectators. |
