Chinatown Kite Shop, San Francisco, Calif.

Anyone who thinks that kites are boring (and terribly passé) should visit this specialty toy store on Grant Street in the heart of Chinatown. Sure, they’ve got old-fashioned diamond and box kites. But the inventory also includes fantastical fliers of every shape and color—giant pink “Floyd” flamingo kites, dueling Red Baron and Sopwith Camel kites, shark and dolphin kites, and speedy competition stunt kites.
