Universal CityWalk

This is a really fun area for nighttime with plenty of quality restaurants and bars. Lots of cool shops too but most of them are pretty overpriced as your still paying 'theme parks’ prices so often do a lot of looking and not a lot of buying in them. Jimmy Buffets is one of the funnest places to eat around. Make sure to try the nachos if you go there, their something else.

Universal CityWalk is a really fun area - with lovely restaurants, including the Hard Rock Cafe, shops and entertainment venues. It is great any time of the day or night. There are some great Universal souvenir shops, clothes shops, a great sweet shop and lots of cafes. It makes a nice break from the theme parks. You have to pass through it to get to Islands of Adventure or Universal Studios.

We recently spent an evening visiting Universal Citywalk. It is a fun place to be, with lots of people watching. A decent array of restaurants and shops. Some close earlier than others, so if you really want to visit one over another, make sure to get it done, or inquire of their closing times. Again, it was the people watching that entertained me. Lots of local kids apparently like to hang here, since parking is free after 6PM.
