Little Italy (dashed) is the exception, which the city doesn’t map: its outline is approximate and follows the commonly cited boundaries of Pacific Street, Center Street, South 10th Street and the river. Each dot is a place, colored by neighborhood; tap one, or a card below, to see that neighborhood’s places.
