My GF and I are planning on going to SD this sunday. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on places to go to. Any info will help. Im also looking for those nice but low key places. Not places like the Zoo or sea world. Thanks!

 

Motel 6 baby! J/K bro...

 

Damn, beat me to it, haha.

 

A few of my friends and I went to Gaslamp district several weeks ago. Really fun area if you like bar/club hopping.

 

i was going to say seaworld or the beaches like torrey pines or la jolla

 

Downtown and La Jolla would be your best bet. The other beaches frankly aren't nice, and the rest of SD i just like any other town (in terms of what the city itself has).

 

Any specific places to eat at? Like local favs?

 

If the weather is nice and you fee like a beach day, Mission Beach is fun and there is always some great people watching.

Food -- Old Town Mexican Cafe is awesome (and Old town is a cool in its own right)

 

http://2005.playhouse.clearchannel.c...fsd.html?_show has everything you need to take up a day. Tons of stuff i havent even done yet and i have lived here all my life. Lots of good unordinary places to eat too.

 

if you like ribs, go to Phil's BBQ near the sports arena. if you like sushi, go to Ra in downtown. if you like mexican, go to Old Town Cafe in old town.

 

There's a nude beach nearby.

 

...And just like most nude beaches in the U.S., it's probably full of old people.

 

Food
Pacific beach - EZ Jay's: awesome sandwiches
All over SD - Roberto's, Alberto's, Berto's: great taco shops, get the carne asada fries
Downtown - Sushi Deli: Great sushi, good prices, great sake/beer specials
Convoy - tons of asian food: if you like ramen try out Tajima's
Phils, but someone already mentioned that one

Daytime
to hang out, balboa park is great. not just the zoo but there's a ton of just walking around with tons to see. pacific beach is cool to walk around, lots of small shops and bars. the beach itself is okay. mission beach is cool, kinda crowded but still nice.

Nightlife
Pacific beach: bars/clubs/lounges
Old Town: i never really liked it there but people seem to have fun
Downtown: clubs - there are plenty but i always had fun at Stingary's.

I mentioned PB a lot, mostly that's where i hung out in college. That was kind of the scene when i was there.

 

phil's bbq FOR SURE!! ive never had better ribs OMG. and if you go bring me back some yeah? hahahah.

 

sure richie why not hahahaha.

 

old MEN... I think i saw 2 saggy **** at the beach that was it...

anyways.. watch out for the cops on the 5 and 15... I counted at least 8-9 cars pulled over driving from LA - SD... the officer told me they pull about 50-60cars a day on that route

 

If you can stay the night I would really suggest you do so. Hang out all day at the beaches, etc. and hit up the Gaslamp district at night.

 

Well you could always do out to Julian and get some Freaking awesome apple pie... or if you are Christian there's a great 11' o'clock Sunday service at this little church called RBBC good band stuff like that umm Coronado has some fairly cool registrants umm it not low key but for great food gas lamp is the best bet or little italy.. if your girl friend likes Chocolate there extraordinary deserts downtown which is freaking awesome... oh theres some cools stuff in hill crest just watch out the gays there they bite ... lol
