Rain, rain, go away.

Sigh...it won't be long now. Our wonderful Indian summer seems like it will soon be coming to a close, bringing with it rain... so much rain. While you might just feel like curling up in your comfy dorm bed or hanging out in the ballroom all day, there's a ton of rain-friendly things to do in our fair city.

Go shopping!

Here are the top ten shopping areas in San Francisco:

1. UNION SQAURE

Traditionally the focal point of all the best stores, including Tiffany &Co., Armani, Prada, Cartier, Yves St Laurent, Chanel and more.

2. UNION STREET

Converted Victorian homes house a charming assortment of boutiques, bookstores, antiques shops, restaurants, and a cinema.

3. GRANT AVENUE

The southernmost four blocks are chic shopping off Union Square; then you enter eight blocks of exotic Chinatown emporiums; finally, Upper Grant is all about North Beach hangouts

4. UPPER FILLMORE STREET

A colorful choice of cafes, restaurants, and boutiques, all geared to a high-end Pacific Heights clientele.

5. MARKET STREET

A good place to find cut-rate electronics shops, as well as utlet shops like Old Navy clothing store.

6. HAYES VALLEY

These blocks offer shopping with an avant garde feel.

7. CHESTNUT STREET

Clothing boutiques, health-food shops, and an old-fashioned cinema.

8. THE MISSION

Plenty of super-discount stores.

9. CASTRO STREET

Gay bookstores and erotic boutiques, as well as some finer shops.

10. HAIGHT STREET

This is still hippie-central – secondhand clothing and esoteric emporiums.

If none of these things appeal to you, come ask the front desk: We are full of ideas and starved for attention, so inquire away!
