13:00
Grab a sandwich at Di Rienzo. This little deli is a local secret famous for its fresh deli sandwiches for $5. If you arrive right when it opens or early in the afternoon, you can avoid the weekday lineup that stretches outside the place.
13:15
Walk over to GigSpace. This intimate jazz and blues venue is away from Downtown's beaten path. Arrive before the music starts to find a good seat and get oriented in the space.
14:45
End the night with a beer at Pub Italia. While other places in Little Italy have better food, you are going here for the beer. The pub features hundreds of bottled beers listed in its 'Beer Bible', especially Belgian varieties.
