Food Scene

Excellent corner location with an outdoor patio and comfortable seating. Great for people-watching. The coffee is...well...it's Starbuck's.

Gourmet burgers from grass-fed beef. Burger Lounge caters to "health conscious diners, vegetarians, salad lovers and diners simply "hankering for a great hamburger."

A French bistro that's a little on the pricey side, but stop by for a basil martini if nothing else. Great moules et frites!

American-style Mexican food. This place is loud and always crowded but you if you need an enchilada and a couple of margaritas and want to walk home, this is the place.

Our favorite taco shop, much better (and cheaper and quieter) than Ponce's, though the decor is just that: taco shop. Great place for a breakfast burrito before you start your busy day. Killer salsa.

You want tequila? They got tequila (over 200). Plus mezcals. From blanco to anejo. Eat first though. We recommend the homemade mole on Tuesdays and Fridays. And the shrimp tacos with pineapple.

Essentials

Get your beer here. And your wine. And your spirits. Anything in a bottle except nitroglycerin. I also understand they'll be opening a new beer-tasting counter soon.

Acupuncture, massage and skin care all just half a block up the street. They have a really nice dog that hangs out in front that Bruno likes.

My friend, Ann Duren, teaches yoga classes here. I designed her logo for her, so of course you should go see her. She is patient and gentle, for those of us who can't bend the way we used to.

We thought this was worth mentioning, Just in case you brought your epee with you. San Diego's oldest "and best" fencing club. Not everybody surfs, after all.

Arts & Culture

Probably the best movie house in town. Foreign and independent films only. The seats could use a little updating though.

Shopping

"...over 60,000 videos and dvds," Family-owned. They live on the next block. If you don't find what you're looking for in-store, they'll run back to their house and get it for you.

Drinks & Nightlife

"We are one of San Diego's oldest bar's serving cocktails since 1935." They also have some of San Diego's oldest patrons, who you'll bump into on your morning walk.

Our favorite wine bar, bar none. they know their stuff. Tiny little place (seats 18) open every day from 4:30 til 1:00. Order the shrimp chili relleno ($11) with your bottle of Zin. It's a meal.
