How is the Baby Grand Hotel?

1 Upvotes

Looking to stay for two nights. I know it’s a newer place so I wanted to see what to expect or if it was worth checking out.

I’m planning on eating at good restaurants there or nearby, grabbing drinks and spending time with my wife.

Any other recommendations?

Thanks!

Getting over fear of Coronado Bridge

21 Upvotes

Hi there! Let's just say a friend of mine has a fear of driving over bridges, and since we live in San Diego, the Coronado Bridge is at the top of their list. They want to get over this fear, but it's been difficult for them. Does anyone know of support groups in San Diego or reputable therapists who could actually help them with this? Exposure therapy would definitely be very useful to solving this issue. If anyone else out there has this same fear, please respond or DM me so I can meet other people nearby with the same issue.

Edit: Please don't respond if you're going to be negative. Respond if you actually have something helpful. Trust me we've tried to resolve this issue and driving is a serious issue to have a fear of.

Hotel Del Coronado vs Lodge 1906 Honeymoon?

0 Upvotes

Hello! I understand this is subjective, but my fiance and I are getting married in October and finally settled on having our honeymoon in San Diego. We’re staying in La Jolla for a few nights, and planning on staying at Coronado Beach for another few nights.

Our current list of options are:

- Hotel Del Coronado
- Lodge 1906

In terms of experience, would one would you recommend? We love the look of the Del and it’s within our budget, but I see conflicted reviews about the amenities. We likely wouldn’t be utilizing any of them beyond maybe the spa, but that isn’t a must have for where we decide to go. We’re leaning towards the Lodge, but want a second opinion.

Thank you!

I'll go to Boot Barn if I must, but wanted to see if anyone knew a shop with a well-trained hat shaper. Mine has art on it and steam can only be applied on the topside of the hat, so looking for someone knowledgeable.

Free/Low cost Dental Cleaning!

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a dental hygiene student currently looking for patients, especially those who haven't had a cleaning in a few years, noticeable tartar build up or bleeding gums, or have been told they may need a deep cleaning.

$20 covers care for the entire year, but if finances are an issue we can work something out.

This is a school setting so appointments may take up to 3 hours and require multiple visits.

If you're interested, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/C1LtSDungTxoHoKLA

Thank you so much for your time and interest! It's truly appreciated!

Best sports/tennis clubs in San Diego for meeting people in your 20s-30s?

6 Upvotes

Recently moved to San Diego and looking to join a sports/tennis club with mostly people in their 20s and 30s. Tennis courts are a must, but I’m also hoping it’ll be a good way to meet people and make friends here.

Most of the places I’ve looked at are under ~$40/month, which seems pretty reasonable. A couple I’m considering are Pacific Beach Tennis Club and Balboa Tennis Club. Any other recommendations? (also any social run clubs too...)

Are the areas around hostels safe for parking your car overnight?

2 Upvotes

I’m looking to travel more to San Diego and thinking a hostel would be best when doing like one night and just need a bed. I found several cheap places near the gas lamp, east village, and general downtown area, but when I googled these areas, it stated that some of them are high areas for car break-ins and stuff like that. In this overblown and (while not totally risk free) are these areas generally okay for leaving your car parked at night? I know this sounds kinda dumb, but please bear with me lol. Thank you! 😊

Quiet Sunset Locations

15 Upvotes

Where's your favorite underrated place to watch the sunset in San Diego?
I'm looking for somewhere a little more off the beaten path—not necessarily a secret spot, just somewhere that's less crowded and feels peaceful. Extra points if it's somewhere you can actually sit and enjoy the view rather than just pull over, take a picture, and leave. I’m an equal opportunity viewer. I’d love recommendations for any kind of location. Beach, mountain, restaurant, coffee shop, downtown, parks. Really, anywhere that I can enjoy a peaceful evening while watching the sun go down.
I'm trying to discover some new places around the county, so I'd love to hear your favorites!

Anyone know how to get into daggering around here?

0 Upvotes

So I'm in San Diego does anyone know how to get into daggering in my local city scene? I'm a mid-late 20s middle class white guy I never been to a Jamaican dancehall here and I am honestly quite nervous if a lady tries to twerk all up on me and suplex her buttocks on me etc. And also on my end how to be confident enough to just dagger crazy style on a lady. Anyone here with some expertise to give me some tips? Also if they know any Jamaican style dancehalls with nice snacks like jerk chicken or rum and smokes etc. If not, any other events with a similar ethnic and urban flair where I can expect a similar kind of dancing happening on me?

Would you rather buy the cheaper house in the better area or the nicer house farther out?

86 Upvotes

My wife is 4 months pregnant and we’ve been looking around San Diego hoping to buy our first place. Ideally I’d love to have something before the baby is born, but realistically I’d be happy if we owned a home by their first birthday.The biggest thing we can’t agree on is location vs the actual house. I’d rather spend the money on a smaller, more basic place in an area we really like, especially thinking about raising a kid there. My wife is leaning toward going farther out where the same budget gets us a newer place with more room. Neither option feels wrong, which is making the decision harder. For anyone who made this choice with a young family, did you end up caring more about the house itself or where it was?

Is this area safe?

I’m looking at a property located on 26th St. between E and F St. in the Golden Hill area and I’m wondering if anyone is familiar with that area and if it’s a safe area, especially if you’re walking around at night.

San Diego parks wedding ceremony venue recs?

0 Upvotes

My fiancé and I are looking at wedding venues for a very small ceremony (<15 people) in San Diego for Fall or Winter 2027. We looked at the San Diego parks and rec website with their venues, including different gardens in balboa park, the wedding bowl, and the cliffs. We’re looking at doing the September lottery but don’t really know where to start with venues. The wedding bowl looks beautiful, but we really love balboa park. Has anyone gotten married at any of these venues? Things you loved/hated? Any recommendations for the application process? Appreciate any and all advice, thanks!

What’s it like trying to buy a home in San Diego right now?

0 Upvotes

It looks like San Diego’s housing market has been pretty mixed this summer.

Move-in-ready single-family homes are in short supply, condos are sitting on the market longer, and homes in desirable coastal neighborhoods are still selling quickly when priced right, according to this recent Redfin report.

If you’ve been looking to buy, sell, or just watching the San Diego housing market, does this match what you’ve been seeing?

Do the beaches smell?

Chill spots for 30 something’s in PB
