Things To Do

San Diego is where we've spent most of our relationship and where we got engaged. Here's a list of our favorite restaurants, bars, and things to do whenever we get a chance to visit. Whether you're staying for the weekend or for a longer trip, we're sure you'll find something worthwhile.

Ballast Point Brewing

9045 Carroll Way, San Diego, CA 92121
, (858) 790-6901

This is one of the most popular breweries in San Diego. We love coming here with a group of friends to hang out and enjoy their delicious beer on tap. Celina loves their Grapefruit Sculpin.

Cutwater Spirits

9750 Distribution Ave, San Diego, CA 92121
, (858) 672-3848

Cutwater's canned cocktails are very popular throughout California, and they distill their spirits at this very location. Celina's favorites are the White Russian and Rum Mint Mojito. Eric is a huge fan of the Cucumber Vodka Soda.

Din Tai Fung

4301 La Jolla Village Drive, San Diego, CA 92122
, (858) 375-5988

This is a world-renowned restaurant originating in Taiwan that specializes in soup dumplings and noodles. Eric really knows his way around the menu thanks to his mom who grew up in Taiwan!

El Prez

4190 Mission Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92109
, (858) 750-2512

This bar is known for its rooftop view overlooking the beach, but we liked to come here right when it opened for the delicious chorizo queso, before the day got super crazy.

Bahn Thai

4646 Park Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92116
, (619) 299-6363

Just a 10 minute walk from our North Park apartment, we came here at least weekly and miss it every day. Eric once asked the chef for the spiciest Massaman Curry they could make him. That was a mistake. He prefers it just "Thai Spicy" now.

West Coast Tavern

2895 University Avenue, San Diego, CA 92104
, (619) 881-1400

We've spent way too many brunches here enjoying their bottomless mimosas, chicken wings, and waffle fries. They also have a fantastic DJ playing funk music all throughout brunch!

SOICHI

2121 Adams Avenue, San Diego, CA 92116
, (619) 677-2220

A Valentine's Day favorite of ours, this sushi restaurant specializes in Omakase. Everything is prepared super fresh, right in front of you, with a custom menu.

Stella Jean’s Ice Cream

4404 Park Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92116
, (619) 501-8252

We absolutely LOVE Stella Jean's. Our favorite flavor is their S'mores, as the batter perfectly captures the smokiness and stretch of toasted marshmallows. Other popular flavors are Ube & Pandesal Toffee.

The Friendly

4592 30th Street, San Diego, CA 92116
, (619) 892-7840

This is a pizza spot, but has the best smash burger we've have ever tried. It's only $5 and is so incredible that it's our first stop every time we visit San Diego.

Belmont Park

3146 Mission Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92109
, (858) 488-1549

We once thought it'd be a fun idea to go laser tagging here but then promptly felt weird when it was just us with a bunch of kids. It's got rollercoasters, arcade games, and all that you could want from a fair!

Coronado Island

Coronado, CA 92118

We took Celina's parents on the beautiful ferry ride from the Gaslamp Quarter over the San Diego Bay to Coronado, a resort city spanning the peninsula. The Coronado Ferry Landing has shops, restaurants and a small beach. Nearby, Centennial Park offers San Diego skyline views.

Gaslamp Quarter

San Diego, CA 92101

The Gaslamp Quarter in Downtown San Diego has lots of restaurants, bars, shopping, and beautiful views of the San Diego Bay. It's a fun place to spend a date night as there's plenty of places to hop around!

San Diego Zoo

2920 Zoo Drive, San Diego, CA 92101
, (619) 231-1515

We've never actually been here despite it being just two miles from our old apartment, but it's a popular tourist destination so here it is!

La Jolla Shores Beach

San Diego, CA 92037

This is where Eric got down on one knee! You can enjoy watching the seals and sea lions sunbathe while marveling in the breathtaking ocean views.
