Little Italy
Little Italy
Nightlife
Once home to San Diego's flourishing tuna fishing industry and generations of Italian families who made their living on the sea, Little Italy is now a lively neighborhood filled with patio cafés, packed restaurants, craft brew stops, urban wineries, art galleries, sophisticated shops, boutique hotels and the beautiful Amici Park. Today, San Diego's most dynamic food and drink scene is centered in Little Italy. It's a place where the past meets the present, where Top Chef alums have set up shop next to old-school eateries that remain treasured landmarks.

Convention center
1 mi
The convention center offers 615,700 sq ft (57,200 m2) of exhibit space. The center's most distinguishing feature is the Sails Pavilion, a 90,000 sq ft (8,400 m2) exhibit and special event area.[18] The Sails Pavilion's roof consists of distinctive Teflon-coated fiberglass "sails" intended to reflect San Diego's maritime history, as well as to advertise the center's proximity to the San Diego shore.[19] The Pavilion was originally built as an open-air facility under the roof.[20] However, the center found it hard to convince potential users to book an open-air facility, so in 2000 the Pavilion area was enclosed in glass, greatly expanding the usable area of the center.[21] Beginning in December 2016, the Sails Pavilion began a renovation period.[22] Renovations to the Sails Pavilion were completed in late February 2018, with a capability addition of a programmable LED lighting system.[23] Another unusual feature of the convention center is its inclined elevator,[24] which ascends alongside the large exterior staircase
