Always gritty, sometimes pretty, the 'Loin is packed with well-priced food, saucy bars and a vibrant contemporary art scene. This oft-overlooked hood, squished between Union Square and Civic Center, is home to many contradictions: the city's largest children's population and also its largest methadone clinic, avant-garde art and heavily guarded underground bars, homeless clinics and foodies’ finds. Brave these rundown streets and discover this vibrant, ethnically diverse neighborhood.
