Food Scene
Just two min away is the best Mexican food gem in downtown. I love the chicken floutas - giant light crispy rolled tacos + pico de gallo + guacamole. If you're vegetarian, this place loves you back.

Like hookah? Well this is the best price in downtown. It's a small artsy place minus the snobbery some places flaunt. Definitely pick up some pistachio macaroons for just a $1 each.

I avoid the bustle of gaslamp as a local. But I can't avoid this place. The orange chicken here is something unique - ultra crispy and strangely herbal. The duck curry was also, well...amazing!

A favorite place. The chicken pad Thai is my addiction. Friendly people in there. And they've got Thai iced tea - cold, creamy, sweet, orange, caffeinated. Add boba (tapioca balls) ofcourse!

Paris is a corner cafe just down the street. A small, intimate place for dinner. This is a very relaxing place if you'd like to skip the rumble of gaslamp. Enjoy French classics and a great wine bar.

Love this place. No strippers sorry, just a lot of strip steak and pinup girls adorning the walls. Chose your cut of meat and grill it yourself with friends while having a drink. Lobster mac'n'cheese!

Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite burger, along with the Umami burger in LA and the Surf & Turf at Sherman's Shack (see map). It's savory like nothing else and sweet with the addition of caramelized onions. AWESOME beer.
