Man, will you get off this? I know many people in S.F. They rarely leave city limits as is, let alone to visit hated Los Angeles.

NYC? Sure, sometimes. But I can assure you, nobody in Boston ever goes to "BH" to go shopping. Where do you even get this nonsense?

For any immediate shopping needs (incl groceries and wine), many prefer Stanford Shopping Ctr and MenloPk over anything in SF, the land of smelly homeless, obese tourists and dirty streets/congested parking

Lol I hope by now everyone knows not to take this troll seriously. Every single post has been a mixture of 'Palo Alto>SF Bay Area, FTW' and complete misinformation regarding the OP. This poster just keeps repeating the same nonsense and then never responds to everyone's criticism of how incorrect it all is. Its so predictable. Readers please disregard any future HSW posts.

It's a draw. Lived in Boston for two years and have visited SF numerous times and I would say the high end fashion scene in both cities is very similar. The same kind of stores and merchandise around Union Square in SF can be found in Boston's Back Bay and Newbury Street.
