The Castro is San Francisco's gay neighborhood. You may see more men then women here, but that doesn't mean there's not plenty of places for lesbians to visit. Start out at A Different Light Bookstore 489 Castro St. Browse the magazine section for more lesbian magazines then you probably knew existed. Also pick up copies of The Bay Area Reporter, The Guardian or SF Weekly for listings of events and happenings in town. Check out the schedule at The Castro Theatre which plays gay and lesbian films. Have a cocktail at Harvey's 500 Castro Street or a bite to eat at lesbian-friendly Cafe 2367 Market Street.
