Things to know about visiting San Francisco

I’m a 25 year old female college student who is majoring in history. I’m currently working on a Harvey Milk project that I hope to showcase at my college this year so I want to visit Castro Street to get a feel for it and to do research. What are some things to know before I plan my trip?

I do live on the East coast and I’ll be going on this trip by myself so there’s that information

Thank you everyone!
