4T: West Portal

Taking its name from its location near the west end of the Twin Peaks Tunnel, West Portal is an upscale, family friendly neighborhood filled with shops and is the primary commercial destination for the residents of Twin Peaks West. This charming, village-like portion of the city is full of locally owned businesses and restaurants as well as a movie theater and library. Frequently foggy, this little gem stays green year-round and offers gorgeous views when the clouds roll away. Also a public transit hub, San Franciscans can easily travel to and from West Portal with or without a car.
