San Diego after dark
San Diego County has over 150 breweries and effectively defined the West Coast IPA, but the best of them sit in Miramar business parks and close by nine because they are zoned industrial. The Gaslamp Quarter is the late club district, Garnet Avenue in Pacific Beach is the college one, and North Park is where locals actually drink. Last call is two.
What to eat in San Diego
Two dishes were invented or perfected here. The Baja-style fish taco, battered and fried with cabbage and crema, came north from Ensenada and is best at the walk-up counters like Oscar's. The California burrito, carne asada with french fries inside, exists nowhere in Mexico and is entirely a San Diego creation. Convoy Street is the Asian dining corridor; Little Italy runs a large Saturday mercato.
What's actually worth your time in San Diego
Balboa Park is 1,200 acres of Spanish Revival buildings from the 1915 exposition, seventeen museums and free gardens, and you can spend a day without paying anything. Cabrillo National Monument on Point Loma costs twenty dollars a vehicle for seven days and is worth timing to low tide for the tidepools. La Jolla Cove's sea lions are free, loud and pungent.
What things cost in San Diego
MTS charges $2.50 a ride and caps at a $6 day pass, paid by PRONTO card, app or contactless, with under-eighteens free. Cabrillo is twenty dollars a vehicle for a week. The zoo is around seventy-two dollars for adults and is the day's big spend. Timken admission is free. A fish taco runs four to six dollars.
San Diego's museums, and which one to pick
Free entirely, the Timken in Balboa Park holds European old masters and a room of Russian icons, which makes it the sharpest hour in the city; the San Diego Museum of Art beside it charges. The Museum of Us occupies the 1915 California Tower, with the tower climb ticketed separately. USS Midway on Navy Pier includes the audio guide and the island tour.
