Guidebook for San Diego
Food Scene
This is one of San Diego's best craft beer bars - anything by Lagunitas, or Stone! Also eat one of their hotdogs. The sausages are all local. I like the spicy lamb with onions and peppers the best!

This is San Diego's longest line for breakfast. It's fun if you want a pancake the size of your head, but I don't really think it's worth it. Rather go to Papalleco for coffee and breakfast!
