Geary Boulevard

Central Richmond has plenty of restaurants within walking distance for residents to enjoy, mostly along Geary Boulevard. The strip has cuisines that span the globe, with everything from Moroccan to Japanese food. People hug the shade from African Fern Pines and California Buckeye trees as they make their way between restaurants like Aziza, Boiling Hot Pot and Volcano Curry.
