Things To Do

Welcome to the city where our love story got really good. The places listed here aren’t just recommendations — they’re memory-makers. The coffee shops and burritos that fueled our mornings. The coastal paths where we walked hand-in-hand, slowly but surely falling in love. If you get the chance while you’re in town, explore a few of our favorites. Chase a sunset. Take in the beauty of spring in SD.

Little Joy Coffee Bar

1230 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014

A favorite spot before our beach walks in Del Mar. Also the spot Rishad took Carmel to pick up a vanilla latte moments before the proposal! Walking distance is Board n Brew, a local sandwich spot, and Saffron and Rose, a Persian ice cream joint! Grab a coffee and explore the beautiful Del Mar beach or the cliffs where we had our first date. It's all about the little joys.

Sunset Cliffs Natural Park

Ladera Street, San Diego, CA 92107

From early sunset picnics and our “soft launch” to the spot where we took our engagement photos, Sunset Cliffs is a place we’ve returned to again and again — for long walks, quiet prayers, and soaking in the beauty of our city.

Rose and Cactus Gardens

2125 Park Blvd, San Diego, CA 92104

Balboa Park contains many little worlds. One of our favorite walks takes us through the fragrant roses (find all the fun names) and into the cactus garden for desert vibes. For longer visits to Balboa Park grab a hot drink at Craft Café at Mingei and stroll through the botanical building or check out the cherry blossoms at the Japanese friendship garden (ticket required).

Robert’s Jalapeños

11835 Carmel Mountain Road, San Diego, CA 92128

If you are in North County San Diego, pick yourself up a hefty carne asada burrito. These fueled Rishad's childood and continue to fuel our adulthood!

La Jolla Shores

San Diego, CA 92037

Great place to take a dip and a walk. This is a go to place for us to get some fresh air and enjoy the ocean breeze. Just a short drive away is La Jolla Coves where you can also enjoy the sea lions and a wonderful sunset!
