Nude, Lewd, and Crude chronicles the famous (and infamous) nightlife of North Beach from the '50s to the '70s, and the broader historical context of the City that allowed these elements—exotic dancers, bohemian poets, and social satirists—to come together.

While this tour is not vulgar, it does contain one image of nudity and takes place in an area with strip clubs and their clientele.
