"Tin Leaf and Beach Plum are definitely successes in their own right, but don’t forget that Grant Gottesman’s history is at Karl Strauss — the guy knows how to serve great food and drinks in a bar. And that’s the premise of Black Rail Kitchen + Bar — it’s the only one of the places in the El Camino/Aviara complex that’s open late in the evening, and that means that Black Rail gets to take the company’s philosophy of excellent, fresh food, and apply it to a real dinner and drinks menu. You can break out a mushroom and fig flatbread, try a half-pound burger with pancetta, havarti, and black garlic aioli, or dig in on a steak or a full half chicken (dressed with salsa verde)."

"The buzz:Some of the best in California cuisine with a Mediterranean flair. The food: Black Rail’s take on modern Californian fare captures hints of Mediterranean influence, including pasta made from scratch and a serious emphasis on fresh seafood. Shareable starters like tuna tartare and charred octopus can sub for a light entree with a fresh salad or rib-sticking white bean and kale soup."

"If you thought you could only find go-karts at some amusement parks, think again. By heading into K1 Speed of Carlsbad you can hop into a go-kart and race your way through their track in no time. It’s thrilling, it’s exciting, and when all is said and done you can enjoy their authentic racing memorabilia and snacks before you head out."

"Founded in 2003, K1 Speed provides indoor karting services featuring professionally-designed tracks, modern safety barriers, private function rooms, arcades, and an onsite restaurant. Co-founded by Boris Said, an American racing driver and Susan Danglard, the company now owns more than 40 locations worldwide."

"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."

"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)"

"A historical fort established on May 14, 1769, the Presidio was the first permanent European settlement on the Pacific Coast."

"Cans of beer on the production line at Modern Times brewery in San Diego. Credit: Courtesy of Modern Times Beer. This fairly experimental company is famous for its delicious hybrids, or what they call “Island-of-Doctor-Moreau-style mash-ups.” The entirely employee-owned company is named after a utopian community from the 1800s (now known as Brentwood, Long Island)."

"Despite having only opened its doors for the first time in 2013, Modern Times has swiftly become one of San Diego’s preeminent beer hot spots. With distribution in seven states and tasting rooms up and down the West Coast, they’re clearly doing a lot of things right. Chief among them: the beer."

"Modern Times' newly opened Far West Lounge has got you covered. Located on Highway 101 in the heart of downtown Encinitas, this retro-styled coastal den offers a mouthwatering and diverse selection of plant based grub alongside its staggering list of craft beers."

"The Barrio Logan distillery is open Tuesday - Sunday for dine-in and take out. Order online here for pickup or delivery for their food, wine, and spirits."

"This brewery is located in the north end of North Park, and it’s big, which means you can plan a tasting with friends without having to worry about seating. There are usually 15+ beers on tap, and 3-ounce tasting glasses will run you about $2. The bartenders know what they’re talking about and are happy to recommend brews for a flight."

"Beers are named after punk rock songs with merch for sale blending album covers with their popular beers. The Fall Brewing Company invites you to enjoy Euro-style brews in a laid back atmosphere. Fans of punk rock will love the outdoor mural featuring music icons like Iggy Pop, Joe Strummer, and Joey Ramone."

"This parakeet wall-covered cafe is located in the seaside town of La Jolla. It's a cute little cafe with an all-day breakfast menu and a ton of healthy food options. We really enjoyed their turmeric latte and gluten-free matcha waffles."

"There seems to be a trend in San Diego to have cute tropical shops decorated in pink and green!. The Parakeet seems to follow this trend, but they have added parakeets into their decor!. Again, this is a super cute spot!"

"Parakeet Cafe has a few different locations, each with a slightly different aesthetic. Another vegan-friendly location, there is something for everyone to eat here."

"CarlsbadRichard Blais, Bravo’s first Top Chef All Star winner and founding chef of Juniper and Ivy in Little Italy, as well as the Crack Shack empire, continues to delight San Diegans with his latest venture, Ember & Rye at Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa in Carlsbad. The newly-imagined steakhouse specializes in hefty vintage steaks and fresh seafood in a classic California setting, while also offering unexpected, whimsical takes like a lobster knuckle sandwich, white chocolate-dipped radishes, Scotch eggs with maple, and caviar service, complete with little fish-shaped blini. How to book: Reservations are recommended and can be made online via OpenTable."

"With two weeks of 100 reservations per night booked even before the restaurant officially opened, it’s safe to say that San Diegans are curious about the latest restaurant from celebrity chef and ‘Top Chef’ veteran Richard Blais. Part of the Park Hyatt Aviara, it’s a steakhouse, of sorts, fueled by a wood-fired grill on the patio, but also houses a tasting bar where chefs plate playful snacks like white chocolate-covered radishes and caviar with fish-shaped pancakes."

"Top Chef winner Richard Blais is thrilled to announce the opening of his new restaurant at the Park Hyatt Aviara in March of 2021. The menu will specialize in vintage steaks, fresh seafood, and a California feel. Stay tuned for the official announcement of the grand opening here."
