That’s pretty cool.
I followed Kerouac & Ginsberg in San Francisco, and a lot of those places were where Thompson hung out, like Toscas.
Tosca is a nice place to chill out, if you are in there check out the old jukebox! Also make sure to go across the street to Vesuvio where Kerouac, Neal Cassady and the other Beats liked to drink. I’m sure Hunter had a few in there too.
