Waverly Place
Waverly Place is often called the Street of the Painted Balconies, but it wasn't built for tourists. On this two-block-long street, you'll find a dry cleaner, travel agency, employment agency two funeral businesses and two temples. Amy Tan fans may recall the name Waverly from "Joy Luck Club," and Dashiell Hammett's "Dead Yellow Women" is also set here.
