Tenderloin, Downtown neighborhood between Union Square and Civic Center in San Francisco, US.
The Tenderloin spans 50 blocks bounded by Geary Street, Mason Street, Market Street, and Van Ness Avenue in downtown San Francisco.
The district gained its name from a police captain who referenced his ability to upgrade from chuck steak to tenderloin cuts after receiving bribes.
The neighborhood witnessed the 1966 Compton's Cafeteria uprising, marking one of the first recorded protests for LGBTQ+ rights in American history.
Multiple social service organizations operate in the Tenderloin, providing meals, shelter, and support programs for residents facing economic challenges.
Southeast Asian refugees established a community in the Tenderloin following the Vietnam War, creating a multicultural residential enclave in downtown San Francisco.
