Brunch at a classic diner with a charming kitsch ambiance. Food's pretty cheap and not fancy but solid. What you really go for here is the garden patio & lifesize cutout of Jerry Garcia.

Some of the best craft cocktails in San Diego. Barkeeps dress sharp, the art on the walls is old-fashioned meets odd animals. The food is good. Overall, a little pricey, but they do it up right.

Drinks & Nightlife
Excellent steak for $10? Cheap dive bar goodness? Everyone cooks their own steaks in the center of the dining room. It's a rough-around-the-edges throwback kinda joint, a hipster favorite.

Everything Else
Such a cute park, and an awesome loop to go for a run. Lots of niceness for the eyes. Great for a picnic, though it is in the flightline for the airport, so planes pass overhead fairly regularly.
