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.

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!

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.

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.

and we finally went to Sambuca,
