This is where we went for our first date! In the spring and summer, it is full of flowery nature brought to life by the rain. It's a great place to go birding too! —M&A
Enjoy a mellow walk along the beach in La Jolla, one of my favorite places from living in San Diego. Come at low tide to look at crabs, anemone, and other marine critters, or just enjoy the soothing waves. —A
A forever favorite coffee shop in the cutest yellow building. —M
A popular hike spot that is not overhyped. There are a few trails of varying difficulties, combining the eponymous pines, classic scrubland environment I love so much, and beautiful views of the Pacific. —A
We have been on countless dates here! We still talk about their Tonkotsu ramen. Yum. —M
One of our favorite bars in San Diego. The "Casual Encounter" was A's favorite drink! The atmosphere is intimate and unique with an apothecary theme. —M&A
This coffee shop was a block away from A's first apartment in the city. I love the rose vanilla latte and overpriced avocado toast. No really, I do. —M
We've been here a ridiculous amount of times. Great, creative pizza and a fun atmosphere! Tucked right in North Park, it's the perfect lunch or dinner spot after browsing Verbatim Books or Pigment. —M
The donuts here are great, but it's the Montreal-style bagels that I really love (and miss every day). —A
A vegan restaurant that blew my mind. Go with an open mind! It is insanely delicious and their cocktails are awesome. —M
Native Poppy made me want to be a florist. I loved their bright, playful arrangements and it's still one of my favorite flower shops! —M
A bookstore that we loved when we lived in San Diego! We still visit it every time we return. Old and used books, plus some fun rare ones and local art. Grab a coffee at Dark Horse and browse their extensive collection. —M&A
