EAT, DRINK, AND PLAY!

san diego is a huge place, so we put together a few recommendations.

A FEW OF OUR FAVORITES

eat

Juanita's Taco Shop - Leucadia (North County): get rolled tacos, a California Burrito, spicy carrots, and a calendar

VG Donut & Bakery - Cardiff-by-the-Sea (North County):  get a Maple Old Fashioned and walk to the beach

Loma Bonita - Point Loma:  get a California Burrito and bring a friend

Hector's Mexican & Seafood - Point Loma:  go for Breakfast Burritos and call in your order

Point Loma Seafoods:  get peel and eat shrimp or smoked fish (of any kind), and bring home a loaf of sourdough bread

Con Pane Rustic Breads & Cafe - Point Loma:  there's a line so get there early for the Linguica Brioche (weekends only)

 

DRINK

Pacific Shores - Ocean Beach:  solid dive bar, bring cash, hustle for a booth

Sunshine Company Saloon - Ocean Beach:  get the rolled tacos and a jello shot

Harbor Town Pub - Point Loma:  get a local craft beer (or two) and a fried artichoke taco 

Club Marina - Point Loma:  bring cash here too, but you won't need it for pool

Shakespeare Pub & Grille:  get some English pours along with chips and curry sauce, then catch the trolley to explore Downtown

Ballast Point - Little Italy:  try out one of San Diego's biggest craft breweries at one of their tasting rooms

Waterfront Bar & Grill - Little Italy:  supposedly the oldest tavern in San Diego, open 6am - 2am daily

 

PLAY

Torrey Pines Sate Natural Reserve:  take a little hike around the bluffs and stay for the view (beware - go early, it gets busy!)

Stone Steps Beach - Leucadia (North County):  you're in California!  Go to the beach!  Even in November!  This one is close to our hearts.

Belmont Park - Mission Beach:  whip around on the Giant Dipper (Megan's first roller coaster)

Balboa Park:  bring a picnic!  we love Balboa Park and could spend all day there

San Diego Zoo:  it's World Famous for a reason, check out the "snake-atorium"

Old Town:  go for Margaritas and a little taste of what San Diego used to look like (a really really long time ago).  They call it the birthplace of California.

Hotel del Coronado:  go for brunch or wait and go for a sunset drink on the Sun Deck Bar
