Parks & Nature

Beautiful way to spend a day. Love the Museum of Photographic Arts. Right next to the Rail Road Museum. There are always street style performances going on and yes they hope you put a dollar in the hat. Always something interesting going on. Scenic. Some unpaved trails and some paved. Museums large and small. Some art galleries. Some free some a nominal fee and some offer memberships. Enjoy a beer in the Sculpture Garden and or a lunch or dinner at the casual Panama 66. Check Panama 66's web site before hand as sometimes they have private events that close down the venue. Also El Prado restaurant is lovely. You can order alacart in the bar area or enjoy more of an upscale dining experience in the main restaurant. Balboa Park truly has something for everybody. Check the park website www.balboapark.org for information. Including the Free Tuesdays schedule. The park is right next to the San Diego Zoo and right in the middle of downtown.

It's a neighborhood just about a mile from here. And they have everything from a mini-Target to local craft breweries, coffee shops, a yarn store, ice-cream and chocolate shops, a mechanic, restaurants both upscale and cheap eats, a wine bar, independent gym, vets, a dog park and more. Cute area to walk around or bike and enjoy the quirky local scene. South park is for a "chill" evening. Or a sunny afternoon. Stroll the streets holding hands and paying attention to nothing but the little shop fronts and each other. Or socialize in the wine bar, or make friends at The Station. Your options are open. A mile or so walk. Thorn then Right on Redwood, Left on 30th street and walk about a mile or less. And there it is. Small but with so much to offer.

Not really a restaurant but you can bring your food in Modern Times Flavordom is how its listed on Yelp. Hoppy IPAs or a smooth tasting Stout, Modern Times is 3 minute drive or 1/2 mile walk. Start there then head North to University Avenue where the action is. Or stay in our quieter but still happening 30th and Upas area eat at Underbelly and after the Brewery closes hop across the street to our local neighborhood dive bar to meet the people who provide the local character. Walk home happy and exhausted as the buzz wears off or take a $5 cab ride if you wore your heels and your feet are done for the night.
