There are so many great reasons to live in the Little Italy neighborhood of San Diego, but one of the best has to be the ArtWalk.  We were there last weekend and had a great time.  We started out with brunch (and a London's Burning cocktail) at PrepKitchen and then headed down to all the great artist displays along the streets of Little Italy.   This is one of our favorite neighborhoods in one of our favorite cities.  We can't wait until next year!
