<div>Hi,</div> <div> </div> <div>We (being my crew) leave downtown San Diego to go to dinner. The closest we get to the gaslamp district is the Karl Strauss brewery over near the airport! It is far too busy and expensive to try dinner anywhere near the convention center. Plus, we have noticed they "card" everyone, at places where they sell beer and won't let kids in the door for an evening meal. We have not gone to the restaurants behind the convention for a couple of years, but I doubt they are any better! Probably want to leave, and maybe even go toward Hotel Circle or towards Costa Mesa, where we stay, where it will be less impacted by the Convention traffic.
