Don't be the one who said "I should have gone there" !! Other than incredible Chicago style pizza try their Chicago style hot dogs, char broiled burgers and one of my favorites... Al Capone's favorite pasta... plus get an ice cold brew while you wait for your food

Best BBQ in San Diego hands down! Ribs are so buttery... Make sure you check their hours, better go there at lunch time, nights are more crowded and if they sell out you are out of luck.

One of San Diego's new gems! VEGAN but you wouldn't know it... ask for the bbq sandwich, the fried pickles and cauliflower (it's like biting a cloud) and the decor is AWESOME! Think of kitty cats and heavy metal, so cool! Not too crazy about their drinks, I always order their beer.

Tobey's is one of our to go restaurants, think of it as an old school diner, great prices, always on the spot comfort food, super great for breakfast or lunch and it has one of the best views of downtown, order the chorizo plate and ask for their home made salsa.

Sightseeing

Best view of San Diego. The drive up to the light house is incredible, once there views are superb. There's an entrance fee since it's a National Monument, but it's very affordable. Also drive down on the coast side and visit the tide pools.

Entertainment & Activities

If you are not from California, but want to feel like you are in California, taking a walk, bike ride on the boardwalk is a must. Get an ice cram cone, a beer, check out the beach, ride on the rollercoaster while listening to the red hot chili peppers. Do it.
