"It is not only delicious food and fantastic views that are waiting for you at Trilogy Sanctuary; it is named that way due to the wellness programs they offer, to advocate balance, harmony, and holistic healthy living.

Trilogy Sanctuary is located just by the beach where you can hear the gentle crashes of the waves."

"Kindred may be a vegan spot, but it certainly doesn't pull your average hippie shtick—in fact, it'll probably subvert everything you might have thought about non-meat eaters. For starters, it's loud—heavy metal is blasting—and the decor is punk rock-meets-French gothic, with a few feminine touches. Creative cocktails use funky ingredients ranging from rose water to green chili vodka and cold brew coffee; the $14 Chromostring, to wit, is crafted with three types of rum, coconut, cinnamon dust, charcoal, and various fruit juices."

"You’ll never see a more heavy-metal, exclusively vegan restaurant, and that’s not just because of the Black Sabbath and Misfits playing over the sound system. The decor blends the aesthetic of a 1920s Parisian cocktail bar with that of European comic magazines like Heavy Metal and 2000 AD right down to a custom cocktail menu where the drinks sport names derived from mythology, horror, and science fiction. It also has some of the most unique and delicious food you’ll ever eat."

"You’ll happily go vegan for a day at cocktail bar/restaurant KINDRED. This South Park eatery serves both awesome vegan cuisine and creative drinks—all in a beautiful, funky space. KINDRED offers dinner and drinks daily and brunch on weekends."

"One of the most famous vegan restaurants in San Diego, some say Donna Jean has become too hyped up, but I think it’s worth visiting at least once for some tasty home-cooked vegan food. It has became hyped up for a reason, after all (hint: the food is all kinds of gooey delicious). Donna Jean serves up plant-based vegan homestyle comfort food, so they’re not the healthiest vegan spot on this list."

"Opened in 2017, Donna Jean serves creative vegan comfort foods. Dishes include handmade pastas, entrees such as mac and cheese and risotto, and award-winning pizzas; they’re also open for brunch on Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant was opened by chef Roy Elam in honor of his mother, Donna Jean, who passed away from breast cancer."

"Sibling co-owners Napatr Chayodom and Katiya Hendricks borrowed inspiration from the brewery-centric University Heights and North Park neighborhood when planning out their business. Grains’ craft beer selection complements a versatile menu of Asian-meets-bar food.

The garden was built to represent the friendship between San Diego and its sister city in Japan, Yokohama, and provides a unique and chilled out experience for visitors. Besides its zen atmosphere and impressive garden and architecture designs, the Japanese Friendship Garden hosts regular events throughout the year, such as yoga classes, meditation sessions, and the San Diego Sake Day."

"There is an extra fee to enter the Japanese Friendship Garden, which is an expression of friendship between San Diego and its sister city, Yokohama. There’s an upper and lower strolling path where you can see koi pond, landscaped gardens and a Zen garden viewing deck. It’s a very tranquil space."

"The Garden originated as a teahouse during the 1915–16 Panama-California Exposition and now lies on two acres near the Spreckels Organ Pavilion."

The decommissioned aircraft carrier is one of the most popular attractions in San Diego. Visitors can get a taste of navy life by visiting the plane-packed flight deck, sprawling hangar bay, mess hall, and berthing."

"Stroll up the Embarcadero and visit the Maritime Museum of San Diego and USS Midway Museum. After gazing at ships both antique and modern, walk north to Little Italy, where you can sample more local beers at Bottlecraft before dining at one of the neighborhood’s fantastic restaurants, such as Herb & Wood."
