San Diego trip...?

[Bella_mezzo]

DH and I are going to San Diego for a wedding at the end of March. We will only be there for a few days, and most of that time will be spent doing wedding stuff, but I think we''ll have most of Saturday free and Monday morning.

Suggestions?

Where to go, eat, play...

We''re staying outside of La Jolla and the wedding is in Scripps Park.

YAY!!! I was hoping you would see this! Thanks so much. We''ve never been so we''re really excited, but clearly our time will be limited

What''s the parking situation in La Jolla?

Do you know what area of San Diego you will be staying (are you looking more for stuff to do downtown, beach etc)?

Island Prime is a fun place to eat for lunch. It''s across from the airport, right on the water, has a great view, and the food is really good!

Ha! You said the location you were staying! La Jolla is so beautiful! You can find some nice restaurant options (George's on the Cove) on Prospect Ave while looking at the scenery (the sea lions are around that location) and there's plenty of shopping.

If you wanna go to something extra special, there's "The Marine Room" which is constantly voted the most romantic restaurant. The view is so fantastic that they have been closed a couple of times for flooding in it's history(it's safe though).

thanks everyone! We're staying at some chain hotel just outside of La Jolla (I think a Holiday Inn express) b/c that's where the wedding party is staying, but the wedding is in Scripps Park and the reception is at Georges at the Cove.

These are great suggestions, and we'll make sure to keep everything with us (we live in NYC and had a car for several years that we parked on the street so we're used to this

I think we'll go to Island Prime on Monday for lunch before our flight

THANKS AGAIN!

you''ve gotten some great suggestions

just want to throw the Gaslamp Quarter in there for some nighttime fun!
Cafe Sevilla is one of my favorites. the food can be hit or miss, but the ambiance/music is terrific.

oh yeah, Brockton Villa in La Jolla is a great spot

I asked this very same question last summer and got some really good suggestions. Try a search and the thread should come up easily.

SDL rooted for Phil's BBQ all the way, and I'm super glad we went there. The onion rings were so amazingly crunchy, we actually went there twice on our short trip! I still crave them, LOL. Thanks SDL!

La Jolla is very pretty, with lots of shopping and good food. Hope you have fun, Bella!

ETA: Oh, I believe the GIA museum @ Carlsbad is nearby!

If you''re looking for a nice dinner out in La Jolla I''d go to Nine-Ten http://nine-ten.com/

I''d have lunch at El Pescador http://www.elpescadorfishmarket.com/home.htm. It''s a hole in the wall but the fish couldn''t be fresher/better.
