Things to Do in La Jolla: A San Diego Guide
"Enjoy a classic Italian dinner at our onsite restaurant, Manhattan of La Jolla that offers a wide-ranging menu of pastas, steaks, and seafood in a romantic setting. Savor a delicious Caesar salad made tableside, homemade eggplant parmigiana, or just relax with a glass of fine wine. Don't feel like eating out?"
"Sugar and Scribe serves up freshly made pastries each day along with custom cakes, artisanal bread and more. Food Network Champion Chef Maeve launched the bakery to fame, going on to win awards like 2017 Best Bakery. Nibble on the scrumptious petit fours to feel like a certified Francophile."
"From biscuits and gravy to fresh Benedicts, this place has everything you could want to start your day off the right way."
"Founded in 2011, this coffee shop and bakery has several locations in San Diego county. Each location is different from the rest, giving coffee lovers a unique and wonderful experience. Some of the popular locations include the Little Italy bakery where all their baked goods are created and the Coast Highway location where coffee lovers can enjoy artistic roasts."
"A photo posted by Lofty Coffee Co (@loftycoffeeco) on Nov 22, 2016 at 9:13am PST. Lofty Coffee Co. in North County has two Encinitas locations and one Solana Beach location in the Cedros Design District and according to the company website, they are opening a Little Italy Cafe complete with scratch-baking kitchen sometime in late 2016 or early 2017."
"What is it: The average gaslamp restaurant has nothing on Searsucker, where dramatic interiors, New American fare and a flirty bar scene are all on offer. Why go: An airy dining room with tufted leather banquettes and massive pendants sets the stage for proper sit-down dinners of tomahawk ribeyes and whole grilled branzino. A spirited after-work and weekend crowd clusters around plush couches in the expansive lounge for cocktails and noshable bites including duck fat fries and Philly meatballs."
"A warm, comfortable San Diego breakfast restaurant with a stylish atmosphere, serving share plates. Breakfast and brunch items are served on weekends only, but it’s worth the wait. You’ll savor pork belly hash, house-made banana bread, bottomless mimosas, and even a short rib breakfast poutine!"
"Taco lovers can revel in something new at all City Tacos locations!. The taqueria has introduced two new styles of tacos, Caseros Homestyle Tacos and Tacos Dorados, to its core menu with the return of outdoor dining. Caseros Homestyle Taco selections include Costilla de Res en Salsa Verde and Cochinita Pibil—slow cooked pulled pork in a traditional Mayan achiote sauce, pickled onions, served with a semi-spicy serrano habanero creamy green salsa."
"Located in trendy North Park, City Tacos is definitely the best hipster street taco spot!. This place is extremely innovative with their menu. You’ll end up ordering way too much food under the pretense of, “I just want to try it”."
"I’ve long lost track of the number of hours I’ve spent working from here. Located in a converted home, this casual coffee shop is loved by people who have some work or studying to do. Although it can get quite crowded downstairs, you’ll normally be able to find a quiet spot upstairs."
"Grab a couple of gourmet tacos at City Tacos, a great first stop before exploring the local beer scene. Start at North Park Beer Co., then walk around the corner to visit Toronado."
"Ash St., Suite 100 (between India Street and Kettner Boulevard) in Little Italy, it's the highest-rated Italian restaurant in San Diego, boasting four stars out of 330 reviews on Yelp. Its offerings include pasta, pizza and desserts."
"Family owned and operated, Petrini’s Restaurant serves Italian peasant cuisine and “Pizza to Die For” in a bright and inviting atmosphere."
"Seen as the entrance point for control of the west by Europeans, Presidio Park remains a place of history amidst the city of San Diego. Interpreting the entire site for guests is the Junipero Serra Museum which houses many artifacts dealing with Spanish and Mexican heritage, colonization, the beginnings of customs within California and showcasing the lives of those who began it all. The presidio, first built to protect colonists from attack, later took on roles as military headquarters and a central outdoor space to remember history."
"You will find grassy greenfields, attractive architecture plus columns. There is also a wooded hilltop overlooking the San Diego Bay from that perfect angle where you can catch the sun setting about everything. What a gorgeous place to have your landscape photography!"
"This historic park overlooks Old Town San Diego and is the location of the original mission Presidio. None of the original buildings remain, but the 40-acre park is home to panoramic views over the city, walking trails, and many places to picnic. (Location: Old Town)"
"The Whaley House is a museum and California Historical Landmark, situated in the Old Town, San Diego, California. It is administered by the Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO). The Whaley House was the home of Thomas Whaley and his family."
"The Whaley House, rumored as one of the most haunted houses in America. In fact, Michigan houses a museum about the historic home. San Diego, however, offers tours for the beautiful two-story mansion."
"Leo Carrillo Leo Carrillo Ranch Historic Park is a municipal park that sits in a 27-acre canyon and one of the best things to do in Carlsbad, California. Opened in 2003 and designated as a Historic National Landmark, the park is a former working ranch that was at one time owned by actor Leo Carrillo. In addition to the beautiful natural landscape, the park includes a reflecting pool, old windmills, adobe buildings, and other historic buildings."
"Wander through the historical ranch and former home of Hollywood actor Leo Carrillo. On weekends a well-informed guide will show you around, sharing the history of the estate and the area. The tours are the only way to get inside the buildings but if you prefer a self-guided walk there is plenty to see as you roam the well-maintained land."
"History meets adventure at Leo Carrillo Ranch Historical Park. This space, a fully functioning ranch named Rancho de Los Kiotes, is now a 27-acre (11-ha) manicured paradise, one that boasts aesthetic beauty and educational value. Much of the ranch is perfectly preserved history, amidst a mystifying natural landscape."
"The Carlsbad Danish Bakery isn’t technically one of the best Carlsbad coffee shops, but is an amazing bakery!. And since coffee and pastries go together- I figured I would add it in. You must stop by and try one of the danish custard cinnamon rolls and grab a basic cup of coffee while you are at it."
