United Nations Plaza
- Address: Fulton St. between Hyde and Market Sts., Civic Center, San Francisco, CA | Map It
- Category: Squares
- Location: Civic Center
Fodor's Review:
Locals know this plaza for two things: its Wednesday and Sunday farmers' market -- cheap and earthy to the Ferry Building's pricey and beautiful -- and its homeless population, which seems to return no matter how many times the city tries to shunt them aside. Brick pillars listing various nations and the dates of their admittance into the United Nations line the plaza, and its floor is inscribed with the goals and philosophy of the United Nations charter, which was signed at the War Memorial Opera House in 1945.
