Food Scene
Five blocks away. It's basically Hawaiian style raw fish on top of rice that comes with all kinds of condiments. It's fresh. It's fast. It's hip. It's yummy. I often walk out right under $10.

Five blocks away. It's yummy and different than the typical tacos, but sometimes it has a wait and not enough seating. If that's the case and you like raw fish (sushi), then just go next door to Poki One N Half. (It has vegetarian taco.)

A lot to do here. For one, it has several museums, and each Tuesday one of the museums has free admission. San Diego Zoo is in here, and there are some nice hiking trails that not too many people know about.
