Also, an excellent Omakase place (Delage) which at $70/pp is a steal. A not-terribly-long walk to Jack London Square, and to Uptown (the other direction). Walk to JLS has a few unsavory blocks. More good food and drink both ways. This is not even to mention that you're on the edge of Chinatown, right across Broadway.
