San Francisco
A smaller, more dispersed Jewish community than other major US metros, centered around the Richmond and Inner Sunset districts - worth knowing in advance that kosher dining options are more limited here than in other big cities

A more dispersed community (Richmond, Inner Sunset) than Brookline or Pico. Limited kosher options: plan every meal. Union Square is handy for tourists, not for walking to shul. Golden Gate: in the morning, before the fog, with a kosher picnic. No kitchen at the hotel. Shabbat: choose a hotel near the Richmond community, or accept a Friday at a restaurant and then ready meals.
Stay in the kosher area of San Francisco
San Francisco does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Chabad of Noe Valley (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of San Francisco.
If you complete your booking there during this same visit, we earn a small referral commission from the partner - at no extra cost to you.
