San Marco
San Marco is the move when you want walkable streets, a proper square, and dinner that isn't a chain. The lions, the fountain, the small-but-real restaurant bench: it reads upscale without trying too hard. Sundays are quiet in a good way, weeknights tilt date-ish. The tradeoffs are honest. Parking around the square gets tight on event nights, rents skew above the city median, and the dating pool is older and more settled than the urban-core average. Bring a plan, not a barhop. If you want polish over volume, San Marco rewards the choice.
