Most vendors and restaurants still in full swing. Enjoy shopping, drinking and eating. Penn Mac is a great Italian grocer that has everything you need and more to cook any Italian dish. Pho Van is another Strip District must-stop for us. Excellent Vietnamese food offering indoor dining. There is also a new Wine Cellar in the basement of Reyna's Market, if you're in need of an adult beverage.

Such excellent Thai food. I've been to Thailand twice and this is the best quality I have found in the area, other than Pusadee's Garden who hasn't re-opened. Try Dancing Crab's Khao Soi noodle dish, you'll thank me later ;)
