San Diego is a city in southern California. I think I’ve been twice: Once in high school for a college tour, and once in the summer of 2024. It’s a nice city.
Places
Places I checked out during my 2024 visit.
- Balboa Park, especially the Spanish Village Art Center (map) was fun. The zoo’s around there, though we didn’t go.
- Old Town seems interesting historically.
- Coronado Beach (map) was a nice beach, lotta people. I need to add photos of burying my body except for my head.
- Tacos El Gordo (map) is a really good taco place. Maybe one of my favorites. Definitely get the al pastor tacos. Also, first time having a “mula” which is like a quesadilla, but more stuff inside.
- The Taco Stand (map) also has good tacos.
- Lola 55 (map) has elevated tacos, though I’d probably get one of the previous two.
- Donut Bar had really good donuts.
- Monello in Little Italy (map) had cheese wheel pasta.
- James Coffee (map) was a unique coffee spot.
- False Idol (map) is a speakeasy tiki bar. Definitely should get reservations, as we only were able to stand.
Places to Check Out
Recommendations from other people, or places I want to check out myself.
- Multiple people recommended The Convoy (rough map, I think it’s the street) as having good Asian food.
- Salk Institute (map) looks like it has interesting architecture.
- Bar Kamon (map) is a Japanese speakeasy. Definitely need to get a reservation.
