Romance, music and a dash of history all prove to be the ingredients of the perfect romantic evening when you visit Gaslamp Quarter. Aside from being an obviously hip, lively collection of restaurants, clubs and bars that are part of the district's top-drawer nightlife, it's also a great vantage point to do some fun people-watching.
The Horton Grand Hotel, one of Gaslamp Quarter's most recognized buildings, was built in the late 19th century and is one of the many highlights over the course of this sixteen-and-a-half block quarter. If the two of you want to cool your heels but still be a part of the scene, hail a pedi-cab and let your romantic adventure continue well into the night.
