Oh snap, the beef ribs are awesome. Plan on waiting in a line, it's really worth it. Maybe have a small snack before you go so you don't kill anyone while you wait.

Hands down! Best burgers and Onion rings. The malts are also something to get. I'm a pretty big guy and I eat a regular size hamburger. If you get a double, it's about the size of your head, so either be really hungry or able to eat a lot.

If you like seafood this is your place. Everything is so fresh, i check for hooks before I bite into it. This place is super popular with the locals and a real hidden gem. Expect a line when going, but moves quickly.

Theres two places (owned by the same owner) I'm recommending the little take out place next to the restaurant looking place. This place is delicious for rotisserie chicken, oh and don't forget the peanut sauce. This place is great on your stomach but easy on the wallet.

This is a 100% breakfast place. The line here is long, also worth the wait. You might consider sharing a plate or plan on taking home a doggy bag (a big one) the food is tasty and the presentation is out of this world.

Update: Under new owners. Place it OK. It's an old fashion dinner with really friendly staff. This is a local spot and it's non assuming food at a reasonable price.
You can usually get in quickly (short wait) but it's a good place for a cup of Joe and flap jacks.

Never have I ever had a bad meal here. It's French inspired and wow it's fantastic. The parking in this area sucks, however you pay a couple of bucks and the parking structure across the street is a better choice (from driving around or getting a ticket). It's more of a late morning, brunch kinda of place. So this works well if you're going to sleep in.

Really a locals place, due to the parking challenges. It couldn't be in a better place, between the bay and the ocean. Expect a wait (Line) but you should have a good beachey experience.

Poki - my opinion these are the best Poke places in all of San Diego. We do have another place called Pokirrito, which is good but I think the quality of Poki One N Half is better.

My wife and bought a year pass (last year) and really enjoyed spending time at the Zoo. I found that a 3-4 hour visit was perfect, any more and I got a little antsy. I would recommend making the zoo a two day trip to really enjoy your visit.

This is kinda of neat to do, the Kayak Tours of La Jolla is fun, and the scenery is always nice. Check with Groupon to see if they have any specials, they constantly post thoughout the year.

This is great for families or really anyone. You can ride a small rollercoaster and see people surfing at the same time. This is one of the spots my wife and I take people who are visiting and they love this place.

Parks & Nature
Nice park, we have yet to explore the whole park. You can literally spend a few days going here and not see it all. From art, photography, trains, plants, museums and even plays. There are also a lot of hiking trails thought out the park.

We take our dog for walks in the park behind Seaport Village. There is a cool book store there to look and drink coffee. I wouldn't recommend the restaurants they are not good and very pricey (tourist trap stuff). It's worth a quick look.

Downtown San Diego is like Disneyland, it's clean and something is always going on. Downtown has a lot of Touristy stuff to see including Petco Park, but it's mostly bars and Restaurants. Fun to go check out.

One of San Diego's first Touristy spots. Host a bunch of shops and restaurants with a theme of old SD. Good place to walk around and get an ice cream.
