Food Scene

This is my favourite 24 hour drive-thru Mexican joint. Its located very close to the house, and is very inexpensive. Try the California Burrito or the Fish Taco, which San Diego is known for.

I'm not a vegetarian, but this is STILL the place I take all of my out of town guests. Carefully made Thai food in charming University Heights. Good idea to call and make a quick reservation, as they're always bursting at the seams with diners. The mock crispy duck is amazing, and the overall decor is just lovely.

Parks & Nature

Just a few minutes drive from the house offers a 360 degree view of San Diego (and the ocean). Grab a to-go coffee or tea and head up to watch the sunset. Its spectacular. At night, you can see the glittering city lights for miles and miles.
