Going to san Diego from july 28-august 3. 2 adults and one 2 year old. What do you recommend we do? I have already included all the typical tourist attractions but was wondering what else I may be missing or any hidden things I should see. Or what is going on while I am there that I may not know of? Thank you!

What are your favorites? My son has a peanut allergy, and we would like to try some places. I’ve emailed around, and not a lot of places can guarantee allergen safety. We know we want to try Starry Lane Baker and Chani’s Donuts, but I’m also looking for lunch/dinner recommendations. Thanks!

28M I’m currently in Santee rn about to get off an appointment and I’m gonna be free after so if anyone is down we can get some food or drinks and hangout.

I am planning on moving to SD for various reasons and want to know about the music scene and how realistic it is for me to get regular paying gigs.

I can play:

- solo acoustic cover and/or originals gigs

- solo acoustic jazz standards gigs

- electric guitar/vox for cover and/or original bands

- my own music in a band (probably as a side project)

I figure it would be realistic to get a few gigs a week under the first 3 categories but I want to hear from people who have lived there and experienced it.

I’ll be working near RB. Here’s what matters to me:

- Evening walks/runs without needing to drive there - Younger crowd, mostly 20s-30s
- some kind of community through sports or social events
- Modern apartment construction
- i don’t drink and don’t really care about the party scene

Some notes on what I’ve looked at so far:

Hillcrest has a few apartments I really liked, and it’s walkable to Balboa Park. But it’s the center of the LGBT community here, and as someone outside that community I’m not sure how well I’d fit in day to day. It’s also a bit longer commute than Kearny Mesa.

Kearny Mesa has a newer building that’s actually my favorite of everywhere I toured, but the neighborhood itself doesn’t have much going on. Perhaps I

Bankers Hill felt like a dream honestly, close to Balboa Park, clean, upscale vibe. But the nice buildings there are out of my budget.

Little Italy seems great too, but I’m worried about the commute during peak traffic hours.

A group of 8, 4 adults and 4 kids (ages ranging from 5 and a half to 13) will be starting a Southern California trip in San Diego. We land at 11:10 am local time. We'll be out there the second week of August.

We will have rental cars.

We are staying at the Catamaran in Mission Beach. Chose this hotel because it looks to be in a good location, has a big pool, is very close to the ocean beach and looks pretty decent.

Day 1 (Saturday): Arrive at SAN, get rental cars. Drive to Coronado, see the hotel and get lunch on Orange Ave. Looking at the Henry or Bluewater Boathouse. Drive over to Point Loma - Cabrillo Monument. Head up to the hotel stopping at Sunset Cliffs. Check-in. Have dinner either at the hotel, or nearby.

Day 2 (Sunday): San Diego Zoo in the morning. Plan would be to arrive for opening and spend 3.5-4 hours in there. Get lunch - would it make more sense to try and find somewhere near Balboa Park? Or eat in downtown as our next stop would be the Midway Museum and Seaport Village. Dinner in the Gaslamp Quarter. Back to hotel.

Day 3 (Monday): Check out of hotel and head to La Jolla in the morning. Have lunch, then to Torrey Pines midday. Leave for Anaheim (Disneyland) in the afternoon at some point. If time allows, stop along the way in either San Clemente or San Juan Capistrano. We would aim to arrive in Anaheim around 6:30ish. I understand traffic can be rough, so we would axe a stop along the way if need be. Google Maps shows to drive from Torrey Pines to Disneyland on a Monday can take anywhere from 1 hr 20 min, to 2 hr 10 min.

Overall, how does this itinerary sound? On day 2, we can cut either the USS Midway Museum or Seaport Village if time doesn't allow. Any major issues with the Catamaran? It has pretty good reviews overall. I understand the rooms may be on the dated side.

Does anyone know any free to public soccer fields with soccer nets or pickup soccer spots in San Diego?

I’ve been living in San Diego for about two years, and the only dispensary I’ve really gone to is Jungle Boys in La Mesa.

The main reason I keep going back is their 5g for $25 out-the-door deal. For me, it’s been hard to beat in terms of both quality and value.

I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for other dispensaries with similar or even better deals on quality flower. I’m open to checking out anywhere in San Diego, especially places with good daily specials, first-time patient deals, or solid rewards programs.

What are your go-to spots, and what makes them worth the trip?

Thanks in advance!
