Those little cable cars that climb halfway to the stars in Tony Bennett’s enduring song “I Left My Heart in San Francisco’’ are climbing Nob Hill. Hundreds of feet above the city, this classic neighborhood offers famed hotels, buzzy restaurants, landmark architecture and stunning views. HOW TO GET HERE One of the easiest ways to get here is via the Powell-Mason, Powell-Hyde or California cable car lines. WHAT TO SEE & DO Learn the history of the iconic trolleys at the San Francisco Cable Car Museum at Washington and Mason streets. French Gothic-style Grace Cathedral fronts the west side of Huntington Park, a refuge for parents and kids, dog walkers and lovers of green space, while the Fairmont Hotel rises to the east. To the north of Nob Hill lies Russian Hill, where you’ll find icons like Lombard Street, a.k.a. “the World’s Crookedest Street,” along with pockets of restaurants and boutiques on charming, tree-lined streets. WHERE TO EAT Top of the Mark at the InterContinental Mark Hopkins has long been a San Francisco favorite thanks to its panoramic, topfloor views. The Tonga Room in the Fairmont Hotel is a longstanding tiki bar with an indoor rainstorm to complete the atmosphere. Other Nob Hill notables include Harris’ Restaurant, La Folie and Del Popolo, to name a few.
