You Must Dine on the Waterfront in San Diego
"No dish says more about Nine-Ten Restaurant than its Jamaican jerk pork belly appetizer. This centerpiece pays homage to Executive Chef Jason Knibb’s Jamaican heritage, albeit in elevated form, and the pairing with baby carrots, swiss chard, plantains, and black-eyed peas with sweet potato purée gives it a California feel. It’s a variation on a theme repeated throughout the menu: flavor combinations that make sense, offered in surprising and refined ways."
"Located in the Grande Colonial Hotel on (910) Prospect Street, NINE-TEN is definitely one of the best restaurants in La Jolla for a menu determined by what is in season while still keeping some guest favorites on the menu. It’s perfect for a night out, whether it’s a celebration or just date night. The veteran Executive Chef, Jason Knibb, has been at the helm for the past decade and trained under highly-respected names like Wolfgang Puck."

"Given the lines you’ll almost inevitably find at the original Puesto—an authentic taqueria so beloved, it’s expanding into a small SoCal empire—you may well be discouraged. But don’t be: Simply put your name down, walk the two blocks to the beach..."
"Two clubs in one, Onyx Room and Thin occupy two floors of the same space, with Thin at street level and Onyx below. Both are trendy spots that draw the ultra-cool who want to party with inventive cocktails in hand and plenty of eye candy located throughout the room. Different nights feature different music styles, from jazz to hip-hop and old-school."
"Onyx Nightclub invites club-goers for them to see the reason why the nightclub is a preferred choice of San Diegans. The nightclub has a setlist of a variety of genres and multiple rooms appealing to all types of guests. It has been representing the downtown San Diego nightlife for years hosting local and international talents."

Expect filet mignon, lamb chicken, fish garlic, onion, vegetables, nuts, pomegranate, herbs, saffron, lime and other flavors that compliment a healthy eating lifestyle. The portions are quite large with a variety of options suitable for vegetarians."
"550 J StSan Diego, CA 92101 Head to the Pendry Hotel Downtown for the city’s newest rooftop lounge. During the day the third-floor space is reserved for hotel guests, but from 5pm-9pm the general public is invited to the hotel’s daily rooftop social, with specials on drinks, light bites, and bottle service. We love the $1 oysters, available during the 5pm-6pm Happy Hour."
"For a night of guaranteed laughs purchase The Comedy Store – La Jolla tickets from TicketSmarter. The Comedy Store – La Jolla is the sister venue of the legendary stand-up venue, The Comedy Store in Los Angles. The San Diego location opened on Memorial Day in 1976 on the Pacific Beach."
"The ice cream parlour itself is one of the prettiest you will ever walk into, and that is before you’ve even had a lick of the product. Stella Jean’s ice creams are handmade in small batches and they also have lots of vegan-friendly options. The sort of place where there is something for everybody."
"University Heights’ small-batch parlor wows with signature flavors like earl grey citrus tea cake and ube pandesal toffee. The shop creates thoughtful plant-based coconut milk ice cream options too, including mango enchilado and strawberry oat crumble. Request sprinkles if you want, they’re free."
"This University Heights’ ice creamery is offering pints of ice cream for pickup or delivery. Customers are limited one party at a time in the shop. Curbside delivery is also available."
"I often point out that a perk of staying in the beachfront La Jolla hotels is access to the adjacent Kellogg Park. It’s steps from the sand of La Jolla Shores Beach but also has a large grassy area for picnics, yoga, pocket kites, and some outdoor park fun. It will soon be even more interesting when “The Map of the Grand Canyons of La Jolla Educational Plaza” (a.k.a “The Map”) is finished."
"This is a little park lining the back of La Jolla Shores Beach. It’s very family-friendly due to its vast green space, playground and restroom & shower facilities. The playground is quite new, with one area geared towards babies and toddlers and another part made for older children."
"If you’re searching for free kid-friendly things to do in La Jolla, you’d be surprised at what’s in store for you in Kellogg Park!"
"Owned and operated by Sicilian chef Vincenzo Lo Verso, Osteria Panevino is located in the historic Gaslamp District. The breakfast menu offers egg dishes, waffles, pancakes, and a unique breakfast pizza, while soups, salads, sandwiches, and a selection of entrees are available for lunch. Dinner brings even more options, including appetizers, risotto, pizza, and pasta with gluten-free alternatives."
"Osteria Panevino is the oldest Italian restaurant in San Diego’s Gaslamp district and offers authentic Tuscan food themes – including fresh bread, pasta, and desserts. Relish the delectable ossobuco, stuffed Portobello caprese sandwich, or the spinach and cheese ravioli. They also serve an award-winning collection of domestic and Italian wines."
"Cordiano Winery is the most Instagrammable place in San Diego to me!. It has by far the best views in all of San Diego, as it transports you to the Italian countryside!. Better yet, the food and wine here are spectacular, so you can enjoy them as well as the view!"
"Rosa and Gerardo Cordiano moved from Italy to San Diego in the early 1990s. They opened several Italian restaurants here but their first love was actually winemaking. Eventually, they sold the restaurants and Cordiano Winery was born."
