Gaslamp Quarters, San Diego: 

http://www.gaslampquarter.org/

The Gaslamp Quarter is a 16½ block historical neighborhood in downtown San Diego, California. 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. After a period of urban decay, the neighborhood underwent urban renewal in the 1980s and 1990s, and is today an energetic business and entertainment district.

The Gaslamp Quarter, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, extends from Broadway to Harbor Drive, and from 4th to 6th Avenue, covering 16½ blocks. It includes 94 historic buildings, most of which were constructed in the Victorian Era, and are still in use with active tenants including restaurants, shops and nightclubs. (from wikipedia)

we'll meet at the corner of 5th Ave. & L St.

Where to eat: TBD

There are a few nice large sports type bars with good food, which we've been to before. This time around how about Jim Croce's Restaurant & Jazz Bar?
