Things to Do in the Tenderloin San Francisco

Once upon a time it was those finely chopped pieces of meats made affordable to the police officers working in the area, which has earned the city its nickname - Tenderloin. And if you are still under the impression that the Tenderloin vicinity of San Francisco is being brushed off by those violent beats of nature, then its time that you get to know the truth. Since ages the historic city has undergone phenomenal changes, and today Tenderloin thrives as one of the most urban-chic SF zones in San Francisco travel packages, despite its old-times bad crack. Rich in cultural life and teeming with local sightseeing attractions for its foreign visitors, let's check out the "to-do" list once you step in Tenderloin.

Glide Memorial Church

This spiritual oasis sited in the San Franciscan districts of Tenderloin, attracts people from every corner across the globe. It is under the strict leadership and sincere guidance of the Rev. Cecil Williams and the Father of Glide Foundation Janice Mirikitani, that this church has become a role model for city community-assistance programs. Visitors to the church are served with free meals, health services, job training and counseling. Visit the Glide official website - http://www.glide.org/ - for further info on the memorial church.

Street Theater Festival

It is the 3-day "In the Street theater" festival that has added the jerk of hospitality to the hard-hearted locale on Ellis Street. The festival marvelously features marionette, trapeze and several other arts and music with improved theatrical milieu and free performance workshops.

The Tandoor-loin

Tenderloin has become the unlikely hub of Indian food, especially the refreshing and lip-licking mango lassi and the mind blowing tandoori kebabs. Bearing much similarity to the Indian taste, zesty and inexpensive foodstuffs are served on the fly. Typically some of the dishes offered by the restaurant are the tandoori lamb chaps, naan, rice, paneer, chicken tikka masala and the all time favorite a glass of occasional mango lassi.
