The 17th annual Taste of Gaslamp presented by Samuel Adams will be held June 26-27, from 1-4pm, on the streets of the historic Gaslamp Quarter downtown. Participating restaurants will showcase their house specialties with a two- to four-ounce sample for each ticketed patron. Each guest will receive a walking map so they can navigate the Gaslamp Quarter establishments on foot at their own pace throughout the day. Tickets are $30 per person per day, and are available for purchase online. (619/233-5227, www.gaslamp.org)   JANE SHIOMI
