hey guys,

i'm going to SD this weekend with my gf and was wondering what happenings are there to do there. I'm leaving to SD friday afternoon, are there any happening spots or must see areas? or just the usual Gas Lamp District?

Saturday night we will have dinner at her favorite restaurant in SD, Sambuka.. and after that what else would you guys recommend? some place romantic? etc..

also is there any activities to do on Sunday morning?


we're not interested in the beaches/theme parks

thanks in advance guys

 

San Diego Beer festival is going on Saturday from 11am-5pm find info at www.SDBW.org

Coronado Island is cool to check out. Lots of places to eat and shop. You can take the ferry boat over to seaport village and eat and shop some more there too lol.

 

beer festival sounds fun, gf kinda shut that idea down.. shes not into beer much, more of a wine drinker

- i just texted my gf about coronado island and she google'd it. looks like i'm going there sunday morning lol.

thanks for the great suggestion

 

I'm sad to hear she passed on the beer fest cause it's gonna be awesome haha.

You might also want to check out Balboa park and all the museums around that area too. Have fun and enjoy whatever you guys decide to do.

 

Coronado is definitely one of our gems! That's my favorite part of town... You can catch the ferry to seaport village or go to the beach or even just take a little stroll up and down Orange ave. and enjoy some of the resturaunts they have there...

Downtown(gaslamp) is ok, a bit over rated and overpriced... North Park has a pretty good bar scene as well as Pacific Beach... You can also head out to Mission Beach and stroll the Boardwalk... The Wave house in MB is pretty cool too...

As mentioned, Balboa Park has tons of cool Museums and the SD Zoo is right next door...

Old Town is a pretty neat place to visit, there is a lot of SD history there... Also, You can check out the Cabrillo Nat'l Monument, but I'm not too sure if it's open on the weekends, you might want to check before heading over there... If you want some bomb *** apple pie, Julian is the spot, not to mention a very fun place to drive your car!(But watch out, the Border Patrol has a pretty heavy presence there sometimes)

Those are just somethings to do down here...

If you really wanna have a fun weekend, may I suggest Tijuana, MX??? Honk Kong Gents Club is a popular place and their appetizer menu is out of this world!!! Make sure you try the wings!

 

LMAO! I don't think he wants to take his girl to Hong Kong. He did say a bit romantic

 

 

Go to Barrio Logan, it's beautiful at night..

 

Ocean beach is cool go to hodads.. point loma go to celebro monument is alright i think i spelled it wrong tho lol

 

I'm always down for HK's!!!... We should organize a So-Cal HK meet!

 

LOL I'm half Mexican and I'm scared to cross the border.

 

Coming down with the GF eh? SDZ33 got some good pointers.

I have some suggestions being that MY GF here loves just chillen and walking around San Diego

1) Little Italy near downtown. Super great atmosphere and holds one of THE BEST farmers market in San Diego. It's a pretty big event there, lots to do. Romantic and great food. The vibe overall is awesome. Warning though...you will see hot chicks here.

2) Down Town La Jolla. Super fancy, like blue blood fancy. But us average joes are all all over this place. Has your high end shops to very intricate little weird corner stores. All age ranges and has a killer scenery of the ocean.

3) Convoy in Kearny Mesa. This is my hood. A LOT of imports in this area and has some of the best asian food on one street.

4) Seaport Village. This place is kind of touristy, I usually go here to kill time while I am in Downtown. Has small shops, street performances and boats n ****. lol.

 

the gf and i were googleing all the suggestions given on the the thread last night. I guess you can say gaslamp is over rated since you are local, but since we are technically tourist its nice to go. Tijuanna...




are you going to organize any toys for tots?

i'ma google this right now, thanks bro! how ya been!?

we saw the pictures of ocean beach and point loma.. pretty nice

i'm really scared to cross.. imagine a Filipino guy and Chinese girl crossing the boarder with no directions and very to no little english lol. does GPS work there? wish i had siri, "locate the nearest ban-yo" siri:"everywhere"

damn thanks for the pointers from everyone on this thread

 

Chargers play the Packers on Sunday, you could go and support them

GO BOLTS!!!!!!

 

It's the neighborhood my dad grew up in lol I wouldn't recommend it..

 

..... he must be a G

 

You can also finish up the evening by hiking one of the many mountains.

 

Take her out for a nice dinner or lunch at the Vineyards in Temecula , its about an hour north of where you are. A trip to Julian for apple pie is always good too.

 

good game. too bad we lost =\

 

first off thanks for everyone's input. My girlfriend and i had a great time there, but we wished we had more time and better weather. till next time i guess...

the corronado bridge is steep as heck i keep imagining stalling there and messing up everyones day. lol

heres some pixs taken from my phone.











we went on yelp in search for a quick meal.. right down the street was a liquor store/greek eatery. talk about a combo and the guys were pretty cool





then we got tired and rested at mission bay.. and actually fell asleep






we froze our butts off sleeping there, but we needed a recharge and it seemed like a nice place

and we finally went to Sambuca,

near here
