Cow Hollow

So named for the fact that it was used as grazing lands for the City's dairy cows up until the 1860's. In the 1950's, the area became fashionable, and the chic boutiques, antique shops and art galleries took over the old neighborhood shops. These shops, many of which are in restored 19th century buildings, create a movie-set environment.

 
 
 

There is an underground stream that feeds a small pond in the courtyard of St. Mary’s Church at the corner of Union and Steiner.

Italians once “raced” huge rounds of cheese downhill on Fillmore Street. What a scene that must have been!
