Asked on Saturday, Jan. 26, in front of Chase
Bank at 24th and Noe
streets:
Where do you like to meet people in Noe Valley?
Earl Frick, Chattanooga Street: I like
to meet people at the bank or the 24 Hour Fitness here. I also
like to get to
know the people in the apartment building around the corner
from me. It is a
small community, so it is easy to meet people.
John Keough, Elizabeth Street: I have a
family, so I like to meet up with people at kid-friendly
places like local
restaurants.
Mira Gutoff, Noe Street: Phoenix Bookstore or
Just for Fun are great places to meet new people. I also like
to just take
walks or go to one of the bars.
Brian Elliott, Clipper Street: I like
to go to the Valley Tavern. They have a nice selection of
people, and beer.
Lucy O’Dwyer, Noe Street: The people at Bernie’s
are really friendly. Before Whole Foods opened, I could just
go to Bernie’s for
some milk or anything I needed and she always helped me out.
Lita Blanc, 25th Street: Martha’s and La Boulange
are great places to meet up with people. It is a great
neighborhood coffee
place, and everyone knows each other. Plus, the coffee is
good!
Bree and Andrew Klose, Dolores Street: In the
daytime, we always go to Bernie’s or Martha’s to meet up with
friends. At night
we go to the Valley Tavern. It really just depends on the time
of day.
Racheal Bailey, 29th Street: I hang
out and talk to the people at Drewes [on Church Street]. I
also see a lot of my
neighbors at Regent Thai. I have met a very eclectic group of
people at Spark
Chiropractic—I just met a business contact there. Another
great place to meet
people is on the J-Church.
