HISTORIC GASLAMP DISTRICT
Sidewalk cafes and open air restaurants, jazz clubs, late night dancing, resident artists, distinctive hotels and micro breweries all contribute to the festive spirit of the Gaslamp Quarter. San Diego’s legendary historic district! The Gaslamp Quarter is a 16½ block his- torical neighborhood in downtown San Diego. The name “Gaslamp Quarter” is a reference to the gas lamps that were common in San Di- ego in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The area is listed as a his- toric district on the National Register of Historic Places and includes 94 historic buildings. Its main period of development began in 1867, when Alonzo Horton bought the land in hopes of creating a new city center closer to the bay, and chose 5th Avenue as its main street. The area now boasts over 200 restaurants, bars, nightclubs and lounges, and countless boutiques, art galleries and shops. The Gaslamp has def- initely established itself both as the playground of hip, eclectic San Di- egans and as an elite urban destination. Mass Transit routes # 3, 11, 120. OrangeTrolley line.
STROLL LITTLE ITALY Historically, Little Italy was the home to Italian fishermen and their
families. Many Italians moved to San Diego from San Francisco af- ter the 1906 San Francisco earthquake in search of tuna and other deep-sea sport and commercial fishing. Today, you will still find au- thentic Italian culture in Little Italy. Located in the northwest area of downtown San Diego, the Little Italy street sign, which spans across India Street between Date and Fir, welcomes visitors to this pictur- esque neighborhood. A fairly easy walk of over 48 square blocks, stroll through this delightful neighborhood and enjoy delicious Ital- ian cuisine, coffee shops with a European feel, and streets lined with boutiques and art galleries.
