2 Best Sights in Tenderloin, San Francisco

GLIDE Church

Tenderloin

For a rockin' gospel concert and an inclusive, feel-good vibe, head to Glide, where Reverend Emeritus Cecil Williams, a bear of a man and a local celeb do-gooder, and other engaging pastors lead a hand-clapping, shout-it-out, get-on-your-feet Sunday "celebration." The diverse crowd—gay and straight, all colors of the rainbow, religious and not—is large and enthusiastic. You might recognize the church from the Will Smith filmThe Pursuit of Happyness.

Onsen Bath & Restaurant

Tenderloin
An excellent dining experience and Japanese bathhouse together is an unlikely combination for the gritty Tenderloin, but once you get past the front door, this is one of the city's great treasures for massages and a sauna session. Accompany a treatment with delightful seasonal cooking and grilled skewers at the connected restaurant.
