Guidebook for San Diego
Food Scene
Really great Mexican food (Take out or Eat in). The fish tacos (grilled or fried) are very reasonably priced -- as is all of their food. I especially like their smoky Chipotle sauce (spicy!) from the condiments bar in the dining area.
They close at midnight. If you're really hungry, call ahead (619-692-1652) and it will be ready when you get there walking from here (10 minutes).

Beautiful ambiance, amazing Thai vegan food, reasonably priced. I usually order the mock crispy duck as my protein source and order the chili basil stir fry accompanied with brown rice. There's a dessert with banana and caramel and ice cream that's out of this world!

Great take out. Limited seating. Popular Thai restaurant. I suggest you go on the lighter side of spicy. I like spicy and a "medium" to them is "very spicy" for my palate. So, say 2 not 3 on a 5-point spicy scale if you like spicy. Closes at 10p. Menu at bahnthai.net

Open 24 hours a day. Popular study place with air conditioning in the back room. Friendly, unpretentious service, good eats and fun atmosphere. Their self-serve regular coffees from thermos are varied and tasty. I like the mild Kona.

Go for the cocktails and atmosphere. The food is adequate to accompany your fancy drinks. A bit upscale for the 'hood.

"Innovative pizzas, gluten-free pasta and craft beers on tap." Google says. It's warm inside, and cool in the seating area of the breezeway and out back. So, take a layer.

Popular brunch place which also serves dinner. Open 8a until 2p (2:30p on weekends) and 5p until 9:30p (10p on Friday-Saturday).
Good portions, popular neighborhood place. If you want a good hand-cut russet French fry ... this is your place! There's usually a line for brunch on weekends.
The hearth room on a chilly day is welcoming. Sit outside on a sunny, San Diego day.
Portions are generous. I often have a little to take away after eating to my fill.

San Diego's newest addition to the LGBTQ scene. You'll swear you're in Miami's South Beach or LaLaLand.
If you decide to brave the ramp (which looks like something from the set of RuPaul's Drag Race) watch the little metal edges. You definitely don't want to do a face plant in this location -- regardless of your footwear choice!

Drinks & Nightlife
The closest thing to a neighborhood pub I've found in America. An AMAZING array of microbrewery offerings served up in a crowded unpretentious setting. The food is typical pub-grub. The place is usually packed; it really IS a small bar!

Gay dance bar. If you go just before 10p, the cover is less (or free). Expect a line on weekends. I have ear plugs should you want to have your hearing by the time you're my age! haha

Stand & model. See and be seen. Video and sometimes karaoke bar. How does that Beach Boys song go: "Wish they all could beat California...BOYS?" ;^)
