Theater District, San Francisco, California

The Theater District is a neighborhood in San Francisco named for the stage theaters that lie there. The area roughly covers the border between the Union Square shopping district and the Tenderloin neighborhood.

The name "Theater District" is actually only used by those attempting to attract customers into the area, most notably real estate agencies and hotels; tourists; and locals using it sarcastically to refer to the Tenderloin.
