San Francisco doesn’t have an equivalent to Bourbon Street. But a new proposal would create the city’s—and the state’s—first Entertainment Zone, allowing restaurants and bars to sell alcoholic beverages for consumption outdoors.
I understand the Mayor’s aim is to bring people to the Financial District, but I feel like we should bring tourist development to tourist areas like near union square and fisherman’s wharf. I don’t think making this block an entertainment zone will help fill the offices at Embarcadero Center nearby.
Valencia Street used to close the streets off to traffic, and it was a big hit. If the restaurants could sell alcohol for outdoor consumption during those events, I could see it being successful.
