Thank you so much for this great video Joey! I moved to the Inner Richmond in 2004 and opened my shop Foggy Notion here in 2011. I truly feel like it's the most special neighborhood on the planet and I am so grateful to be a part of this diverse community! Clement Street rules.
I moved to SF in 1977, when I was just 11 years old. In my early 20's, I identified Clement street as the '2nd Chinatown'. I also lived in the Sunset district, so it was easy to go there and be a patron of that district of SF. I got funny looks, because I'm Black, but I felt like, this is SF and we share this city. It's been that way since 1849. I love the Clement district...
I was born and raised in San Francisco. My family owned a Basque restaurant and boarding house on the corner of Stockton and Pacific. I attended school in North Beach at Saint Peter and Paul. So to sum it up. White kid whos family ran and lived in a Basque restaurant located in Chinatown attended school in the little italy North Beach. When I turned nine or ten my family moved to 27th and Anza Street in the Richmond. I think about the city everyday and I am so proud to be born and raised there
Thank you, I loved it! Grew up in the Inner Richmond, delivered papers between Clement and Fulton in the late 60s/early 70s, and we still drive across the GGB to go shopping at New May Wah practically every weekend. Thanks again!
i grew up off of clement st and arguello, the corner of these two was a chinese dry cleaners, on 2nd ave was a grocery store, on 4th ave was a boat shop and on 5th avenue was a bakery and a grocery store called lincoln...this was during the early 60-70's and on 6th ave towards califorina st was my elementary school called george peabody which was built in 1933. it was a wonderful place to grow up...
I brought my neice from St Petersburg Florida right here to this neighborhood! To visit the famous Green Apple bookstore and eat at Hamburger Haven! She loved that bookstore
What a sight for sore eyes. San Francisco is my second home for this New Jerseyan, now New Yorker. I spent every summer in Richmond District to visit family. Grandma lived off Geary, cousins live off Clement! Due to COVID I won't be visiting this year, sadly. This video was definitely a welcome daydream. Thank you! :)
San Francisco in the late 70s early 80s! Renting skates from one of the spots on Stanyan St and rolling on in to the road that was blocked from cars on Sundays so we fancy skaters could blast boom boxes, and show off our skating skills! It was grand!
I kept thinking to myself “this is the love letter I always wanted to write to Clement”, and seeing the comments it looks like many share my thoughts! Thank you for this and thank you for showcasing the real great places on Clement street (not just the trendy new establishments that a lot of publications have been focusing on recently). Hope to run into you at the farmer’s market one of these days!
Man, I lived in the Richmond for 8 years in the 1990's your videos bring back so many good memories, I used to try to go to Clement Street every other week or so, the Asian food in the Richmond is highly under rated! I also miss the fresh Perogies at the Russian stores (sp?)
Holy heck the cinematography in that foggy night sequence was as smooth as butter, love seeing the particles in the headlights 😆 so cool, so beautiful, so SF
It looks like you were inside Kamei Restaurant Supply, my favorite place on Clement Street, though, as you said, there is too much there to be able to mention everything by name. I love that you got a shot that included the Busvan sign. I am now sitting at a desk that I bought at Busvan's going-out-of-business sale in 2002. Surprised to see that the site has been largely empty since then, with a few temporary exhibitions, but no business moving in there.
I’m always in clement st.every single week. I would usually but our favorite black milk tea at Mr &Mrs tea between 6 and 7ave..but I moved to Daly City in 1998.since I’ve arrived in California I’ve stayed in the Richmond district since that time till I moved to Daly City in 1998..it’s just a good area and I keep coming back .good memories..thanks for the vlog.
Great video. I grew up right on 10th and Clement in the 80s and 90s (and still travel up there sometimes to see my parents). It's strange to think back and remember all the different stores that used to occupy the streets though (Walgreens, Woolworths, whatever the bank was on the corner of 7th).
This is really well put together. I know this isn't a 'travel' vlog but it's much more useful and authentic for someone looking to travel than what you usually see. Ncie style :)
I am moving to San Francisco next month and thinking about finding an apartment in the Richmond and just wanted to say your videos about the city are so beautiful, thoughtful, and informative. Keep doing what you do!
What a treat. Your narration is so calming. I worked at the Donut shop on Clement and 10th in the mid-70’s when I was in high school. So great to see that so many of the same businesses have survived.
Love this video - the style and authenticity of your knowledge of SF is great! Cant wait for more - love seeing the city and hearing the history of the neighborhoods.
Thank you Justin 😌 I’m no historian (people like John Martini & the guys at outsidelands.org will always have me beat in that category), but I’ll always try to show off the city as I know it.
Heck yeah, I subscribed. I was looking for more info on Clement St after discovering Neck of The Woods. And I didn’t have to look far :) thanks JY can’t wait to watch more.
Cool man been going ( since moved to the Sierra's) to the little butcher shop/restaurant across from Safeway. You must know it Pho-Bun-rice plates they have it all. Only around 4/5 tables you share with others. Great prices and great food PS just hold it if you have to go. Not saying it's clean just a tradition and I always hit it up when I'm down there. That and little Lucas sandwich shop in South City. Cheers thanks for your cool content 👍❤️
I lived on Clement before it was Chinese…still had a significant Russian presence…black bread for my soon to be husband, who loved it from his travels with the Navy. There was a bar called The Library, which had, besides the bookish theme, phones at each booth, the better to hit on people from nearby booths. I lived all over the city, including some more glamorous addresses. Clement was the best…
I went to SFSU in the 70s and then lived in the Sunset District. I visit SF when I can. There is so much to see and do that I can understand why some people never leave. Do you give tours? Your presentations are well executed.
Thank you! Unfortunately, I don't do any tours, as I'm not the best at giving information without a script in my hand, but I know there are plenty of historians whose knowledge of the city far surpasses my own. Woody Labounty and David Gallagher of the Western Neighborhood Project to name a few.
J - You're so young that you haven't had the benefit of the history of Clement St. In the 1960's it was the hub of a tiny White Russian enclave, and its restaurants (cafes really) treated us with piroskies and borsht, etc. In the 70's, we had a fling at fondue, pizza and calzone. I moved to Larkspur in '78, so lost track. But I still would come back, repeatedly, to Hang Ah Alley, just down from Stockton, and the Hang Ah Tea Room; perhaps it still exists. All my good wishes for carrying on the SF story, JL
I miss being there in San Francisco. I grew up there in the 70's and lived there almost all of my life. I was always there at Clement Street and the close neighborhood like around Geary Street, Balboa Street and so on. I am here now temporarily in the Philippines. But San Francisco is where I grew up and usually walking around Clement Street to find a good place to have food and desserts. I will be back there soon! Thanks for your story about this place they called "The 2nd Chinatown".
Aaahh when I went to Roosevelt Middle School (which is at the end of Clement) me, some of my classmates and one of our young teachers did a shopping trip down clement St every week after school. We'd go to Burma Superstar 7:38, Taco Bell, 6th Ave Aquarium 8:09, Mr and Mrs Tea House 3:23, New Lein Hing Supermarket, May Wah market 0:35, D and A cafe, Toy Boat dessert cafe 2:45, Smart and Final. There was also this mini-market that had ice cream and egg waffles and those little toy machines that I can't remember the name of, and we spent so much time just hanging out there. God I must have spent $80 by the end of my 6th grade year. 3:52 I bought one of those from that shop and I still have it right next to me. This video is so nostalgic for me. :_) I actually started sobbing (Edit: I actually looked back through the video and the mini-market that I couldn't name is either the one with the green awning shown in the background at 7:33, or the one with the red awning at 8:29. It actually doesn't show up on google maps so that's why I couldn't find the name.)
Does anyone else remember the “parakeet lady”. Who sold birds around 10th avenue and Clauds Beauty Salon near second street? Or the Glamourette beauty salon on ninth Avenue next to the Bank
Thanks so much for this video. Im a native San Franciscan and Clement Street holds many great memories for me from way back in the day to the present time. I did subscribe and look forward to more of your videos. Check out Grain d'Or next to Busvan. They make some scrumptious sandwiches.
This is a charming video and as a local, I actually discovered 1-2 new places to try. The presentation is amazing and reminds me there are still nice things in SF....
You’re doing so great Joey! Thanks so much! Super lovingly and well done! I live in Bernal but my son went to Star of the Sea from ‘08-‘14 turning me on to Inner Clement. I became such a regular @ Good Luck Dim Sum, the staff (the 2 ladies) would set a table for me with my faves as I eventually went from a trekking pole, to a walker, then a wheelchair. I had my first Jook there💕after a friend described his annual Clement Jook Crawl every New Years Day from Arguello to the last place that sells it. Thanks too for showing me the inside of Halu. I’ll try to figure some way to get in. I’m one happy and appreciative subscriber!
I had the pleasure of going to Halu with my friends. We were doing family-style dining, and ordered a corn on a cob appetizer. Friend asked the waitress if we can have the corn cut in half so we can share easily, rather than have each of us chew half and pass the cob to the other. Waitress came back with all the corn cut in half and the other half the corn was still on the cob. Technically, it is half.
Thank you so much for this fantastic content! Just one suggestion - have you ever considered getting a gimbal? It would make your walking selfie shots a lot easier to watch for people who get dizzy from shaky footage.
Nice video about - what's kind of - my neighborhood (I'm Outer Richmond). You mentioned being a third generation San Franciscan, so am I! Where'd you go to school?
Thanks, Joey, for such a wonderful representation of our dear street! It really is a sleeper, local, adult wonderland of fun. Only thing I'd disagree with.. I buy tons of stuff from Tantrum, for me and my friends and none of us are kids or have kids!! I have the shark clock..haha..and so does my adult neighbor. Please keep making these fantastic, spot-on takes of our fair city!
In the mid-1980s, my housemate worked at Green Apple Books. I lived just off Clement and remember Toy Boat. The one word for Clement isn't simple, it's diverse or eclectic.
After 38 years, the owners of Toy Boat have decided to retire. sf.eater.com/2020/6/4/21280416/toy-boat-clement-street-dominique-crenn-osito-berkeley-bowl
good work, i grew up in the excelsior. i talk to two young asian-american like yourself who grew up here. they had never of McLaren Park which is the second largest park in the city. have you been there before? i moved to the sunset in the 10 grade and didn't know anything about the sunset other than the Playland at the beach. i am 63 also. i understand how we sometimes never leave the neighborhoods we grew up in . keep them coming rob
I lived in the inner Sunset district from 1957 thru 1973. Pasquale's pizza on 8th & Irving street was a great place to eat. And Playland at the beach was out at Ocean Beach at the very end of Fulton st to Balboa street on the great highway
That restaurant Halu is unfortunately now closed. My wife & i are visiting in July & wanted to know if you have any recommendations on restaurants similar to that one.. Thanks.
how's 'bout pedroni's incredibe sculpture's at the old busvan? he was a cable car driver with a great artistic bent. Don't know if they're still showing, but if they are, you will flip.
Good video and hella hipster. We OGs have our memories of Clement. We used to kick it at Java and smoke stogs, buy fish and f around at 6th ave. The best beef noodle soup is Taiwan. The most underrated fried chicken is Wing Lee. Try to make A video of top 20 items to eat on clement. Ill give you some pointers lol.
I lived in the inner Sunset district and my parents use to take us to Bills hamburgers out on I think it was around 24th ave and clement. Is that place still there? This was in the 1970's
Thank you so much for this great video Joey! I moved to the Inner Richmond in 2004 and opened my shop Foggy Notion here in 2011. I truly feel like it's the most special neighborhood on the planet and I am so grateful to be a part of this diverse community! Clement Street rules.
Holy shit before I moved I always passed by your shop.
I moved out of San Francisco and The Richmond district 9 years ago. Thank You for taking me home.

This is awesome! What a great love letter to the Inner Richmond stretch of Clement!
I was born and raised in San Francisco. My family owned a Basque restaurant and boarding house on the corner of Stockton and Pacific. I attended school in North Beach at Saint Peter and Paul.
So to sum it up.
White kid whos family ran and lived in a Basque restaurant located in Chinatown attended school in the little italy North Beach.
When I turned nine or ten my family moved to 27th and Anza Street in the Richmond. I think about the city everyday and I am so proud to be born and raised there
The Basque place…my boyfriend, later husband, and I were weekend regulars. Great, affordable place, and a nice cultural experience.
Thank you, I loved it! Grew up in the Inner Richmond, delivered papers between Clement and Fulton in the late 60s/early 70s, and we still drive across the GGB to go shopping at New May Wah practically every weekend. Thanks again!
I used to attend USF, dining at Clement almost daily, thank you for bring back all the memories
I used to work at Clement, and I used my lunch time to explore all the shops around. Cool video.
i grew up off of clement st and arguello, the corner of these two was a chinese dry cleaners, on 2nd ave was a grocery store, on 4th ave was a boat shop and on 5th avenue was a bakery and a grocery store called lincoln...this was during the early 60-70's and on 6th ave towards califorina st was my elementary school called george peabody which was built in 1933. it was a wonderful place to grow up...
im in college right now and this makes me juuust a little home sick. Thanks for making a wonderful video!
I brought my neice from St Petersburg Florida right here to this neighborhood! To visit the famous Green Apple bookstore and eat at Hamburger Haven! She loved that bookstore
I miss the neighborhood and the fog so much, thanks for the walk down memory lane.
What a sight for sore eyes. San Francisco is my second home for this New Jerseyan, now New Yorker. I spent every summer in Richmond District to visit family. Grandma lived off Geary, cousins live off Clement! Due to COVID I won't be visiting this year, sadly. This video was definitely a welcome daydream. Thank you! :)
I love hearing stories about people who visited family in this area in the past. Hope you get to come back to Clement soon!
Awesome video of our neighborhood and Joey is adorable too

the Inner Richmond was my home from 1990-2007. It is secretly the coolest hood in SF...
Joey, what a great video. Perfect music and timing. I live in the neighborhood. See you at the Farmers Market.
I also like Irving St. It's got a fair share of Chinese stores and restaurants.
Irving Street is the third Chinatown. Noriega Street is the fourth.
Man, I lived in the Richmond for 8 years in the 1990's your videos bring back so many good memories, I used to try to go to Clement Street every other week or so, the Asian food in the Richmond is highly under rated! I also miss the fresh Perogies at the Russian stores (sp?)

It's quite fun and the two larger landmark grocers have everything under the sun
love letter to my neighborhood of over 20 years! LOVE LOVE LOVE
Noriega and irving had a nice stretch of excellent food as well
You had me at Nato. Thanks so much for this amazing review of our neighborhood! It is really the best.
Love it. I lived at 811 Clement at 9th avenue in the late 60’s … 2 bedrooms @ $90 a month!!!
Great neighborhood. I love the restaurants and Chinese bakeries.
great video. thanks!
Clement is epic! Personal faves are the Clement Street Aquarium and Eats. Memories :,)
Joey!! Applause!! Applause!! Another brilliant and awesome presentation!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great video. I grew up right on 10th and Clement in the 80s and 90s (and still travel up there sometimes to see my parents). It's strange to think back and remember all the different stores that used to occupy the streets though (Walgreens, Woolworths, whatever the bank was on the corner of 7th).
Bank of America is still there. Wells Fargo was on the other corner, it's now AAA. Hi Randy!
This is really well put together. I know this isn't a 'travel' vlog but it's much more useful and authentic for someone looking to travel than what you usually see. Ncie style :)
Thanks for bringing me home again...will def revisit Clement!
I grew up at 5th and Clement! This brings back so many wonderful memories!!
This video is awesome! Thanks for highlighting our neighborhood! You're very talented and I'm looking forward to more videos!
I am moving to San Francisco next month and thinking about finding an apartment in the Richmond and just wanted to say your videos about the city are so beautiful, thoughtful, and informative. Keep doing what you do!
Thanks Elbert! I know I’m biased but The Richmond is great, and I guarantee you won’t regret living here.
you are doing it well buddy. keep it up. :)
Never thought about how I pronounced "Clement" until after I heard visitors say it differently. Some other ones were Gough and Duboce.
Even Geary (vs "Geery")
Right?! I never really questioned the pronunciation until recently.
Arg-well-o vs ar-goo-yo
Cabrillo, tourist pronounce it like it's a Spanish word "ca-bre-o" but it's actually Portuguese "ca-brill-o"
@@spike555331 Gosh in the 50's thru 1972 when you travel out to Ocean Beach on Cabrillo street at the turn around was Playland at the Beach
I buy my natto at New May Wah too! Also the owners of Tantrum are seriously the nicest folks (Foggy Notion too!).
I love your videos!!! I am glad to see someone who loves the City as much as I do

Brilliant Joey.
Yessss! Love for Clement street, about time.
Hoping you are having a good life in the greater Bay Area. This is a superb series.
Really great video! Make a second one for more places!
Joey, I'm scrolling through all of your videos and I'm LOVING everything. I miss home so much, and your videos are so dang well put together. Bravo!
Thanks so much for this video. Im a native San Franciscan and Clement Street holds many great memories for me from way back in the day to the present time. I did subscribe and look forward to more of your videos. Check out Grain d'Or next to Busvan. They make some scrumptious sandwiches.

keep it up buddy
Definitely stop by Aroma tea shop!

I lived at 12th and Clement in the early 90s. So happy to see Toy Boat is still there. Do they still have the big Pee Wee Herman Doll up on the wall?
I sort of grew up along Clement.
Nice video. What camera did you use to film this?
I shot this on a Sony a6400. It’s a fantastic camera!
@@JoeyYee Oh cool, I have a Sony a6000. What was your lens?
vince710 I mainly used a Sigma 16mm and a 85mm manual focus lens for this. Looking to get something a little more versatile though.
