I'll try the place tanatastic recommend tomorrow, and probably go to Indigo another day. I went to Old Town last year (really cool place) great food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,164 Posted March 22, 2017 Yep I'll be at the convention center all week. I know where the Gaslamp district is... any particular place I should try? I'm not an expert but last week I stayed down there at the Ramada Inn which was the former St. James Hotel; built in 1913 I think and hasn't been upgraded since. Seriously, it had a lot of Deco "charm" but the room was tiny and the place had a Shining vibe (second time I said that tonight!). The exercise room was the size of a closet and had a bike and a treadmill. I ate at a place called Osteria Panevino on 5th Ave between F and G. I chose it after walking around a while because it had a 4.5 rating on Google and I could sit and eat at the bar. I had Veal Osso Bucco which was OK, not great. I mean it was really good as such a dish is, but it didn't stand out, for the money it cost. So I would try somewhere else. Seemed like a lot of steak and seafood places, but maybe I tuned out the Mexican places because I have those in Phoenix. I'm actually heading back to SD tomorrow but staying in Del Mar near our office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted March 22, 2017 Other reccomendations for dif kinds of food nearby where you are roughly and surrounding neighborhoods. Vietnamese- Have to go to Pho on 5th in hillcrest. Best Vietnamese hands down. Indian- Urban India downtown. Pizza- Buona Forcheta in south park, Napolitano crust, amazing. This is authentic style. If you want an alternative, Pizzeria Luigi is a great choice, in north park. Beach- Belmont park in ocean beach. The place with the roller coaster and Boardwalk. Go to the sandbar, get a Long Island. Best LI Iv had for some reason. Burger- you'll prob just go to in n out or five guys and that's fine. Mexican- old town Mexican cafe in old town. Strip clubs- Eh not the best choices compared to TJ which has AMAZING strip clubs. But if you aren't going to Mexico just go to cheetahs and have a drink next door at the bullpen.
