Very touristy spot which attracts homeless, solicitors, and possibly pickpocketers. All this said, still a decent central location area for shopping and sightseeing. Can get from Union Square to Chinatown, the theater area on Geary, Macy's, high end shopping, etc. A good place to start if you are planning on doing the hop on hop off bus or trolley.
