SoMa, or South of Market, is a large, warehouse-filled area with upscale dining options and lively nightclubs. It stretches from the Embarcadero to Eleventh Street, between Market and Townsend. With a strong downtown vibe, its residential and industrial buildings lure many new urban professionals. Added to that, it has easy freeway access and a lively cultural scene with several museums, art spaces, and swanky nightspots. Another great corner of Soma, yet admittedly more intimate, is Langton Street, that showcases beautiful tree-lined blocks and slightly older architecture.
