THRIVING SOCIAL SPACES
From picturesque 19th century buildings to modern architectural delights , San Diego ’ s blend of old and new is clear to see throughout its central Downtown area . Neighbourhood district Gaslamp Quarter continues to inspire all those who visit , where restored buildings are complemented by 19th century street lamps lining the streets , and has become home to some of the city ’ s most acclaimed restaurants , bars and theatres .
Nearby , the city ’ s multicultural flair is
showcased in the local neighbourhood , Little Italy . Close to the harbor and influenced by San Diego ’ s earlier fishing industry and marine heritage , Italian families settled in the city in the 1900s and have become a key part of the city ’ s dynamic culture . The area is also renowned as a thriving café and restaurant spot , popular with food lovers and aspiring artists . A multitude of pubs and bars are also on offer , as well as a number of craft breweries , which continue to grow in popularity .
