The Comic-Con crowds typically gather within a few blocks of the San Diego Convention Center. As you head north up Fifth Avenue you see fewer and fewer attendees–mostly those walking to and from downtown hotels.
But there are a couple of cool shops on Fifth Avenue on the block just south of Broadway that you might want to check out!
