Market Street runs all the way through the city and is so large that is can be seen well from the Twin Peaks. It carries both vehicles and cable cars, making it an excellent place for people who want to go and see one of San Francisco's best traditions. The street features a wide range of restaurants, bars, and shops, which one might expect for a thoroughfare, that attracts so many people. When something special happens in San Francisco, this is normally the place where people go to celebrate or lament. It has hosted a number of different demonstrations, rallies, and parades, making it truly the heart of San Francisco from a purely cultural standpoint.
