In case of any area of this old city evoke images of several of the 60, this area has to be the do so. Here the principle of hippy culture was growing by leaps and bounds as the flower children were selling their wares on the street with heavy traffic, could smell incense burning on every corner and in the wild tie dyed clothing that was so popular at that time.
A walk around the block revealed smoke shops and many points of Eastern influence, carrying names such as "Dreams of Kathmandu," "The Love of Ganesha" and "Pipe Dreams." Unfortunately, these relics of the 60 are almost forgotten and left the scene forever. Haight district of today presents a complete new look compared to that was 50 years ago. The area now boasts boutiques, clothing shops high price, many thrift shops, and cafes with Internet access modern and a large number of restaurants offering great-tasting food from all corners of the continent. Haight district of old years have become highly commercial.
A walk along Haight Avenue reveals the changes that have been made to date and the new clientele that fills the street. These range from new customers outside neo-punk for fun, the boys in the club in search of things to do, fashionite different with time on their hands, tourists waiting to take a look at the long gone of people 60 and normal neighborhood, everyone feels comfortable here. They may be here to obtain a new body piercing, perhaps to make a Mexican burrito, maybe you're looking for a new music CD or just out for a cup of espresso in the cafe on the corner.
Keep in mind that there are two different areas Haight. Upper Haight has extending from Masonic to Stanyan. This is the shopping malls, while Lower Haight is a more diverse neighborhood. Despite displays a lifestyle alternative nightlife with bars with names like Noc Noc and Mad Dog, as well as the most popular clubs such as the top or Nicki.

During the day the attitude around the Haight is basically laid and it seems that many people are just hanging around the cafes or bookstores. The area has its share of beggars and tourists. Weekends in the area can get very crowded with buyers in full force during the day and attendees to bar roaming at night. You may notice a lot of homeless people camping near the entrance Golden Gate Park, where they hang around the upper Haight, however, must walk by them are limited to request a change or give a friendly smile.
