If you go to Lucha Libre or little italy you should let me know. We can have a quick QBN Drinks right here in my neighborhood. I live within walking distance of both. Little Italy has a bunch of good restaurants as well.

Little Italy area of San Diego has some fun architecture & eats to check out

Downtown is fun, lots of watering holes, check out the Children's Museum - plenty of fun for two adults too.

Munchkin homes of La Jolla - look it up, not real Munchkin homes, but the optical illusion is awesome. Check out La Jolla Shores for other restaurants -- the ones up in La Jolla Village are OK, but there are a few down by the shores that are good. Recommend Piatti. Warwick's is cool - for a time travel back to when we use to design for print and send cards in the snail mail. Balboa park is full of museums - no need to hit the zoo - but there is IMAX, photog museum, botanical garden, etc. - plus The Prado is a decent restaurant in the park.

Alibertos. Or any 'bertos for that matter.
- I went to college in La Jolla and lived in both Pacific Beach and Ocean Beach. Good Mexican food.monospaced

If you like sea life check out Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
George's at the Cove for your expensive dinner. One of those, you gotta do it once kinda places.

Ocean Beach (OB) is pretty laid back, surfer, cool shops, bars are good. HoDad's has some of the best burgers, and down the street check Southbeach. They have the best Mahi - Ono tacos around. Just my opinion..

If you drive over to Pacific Beach (short drive from La Jolla) this place will give you a really "San Diego" experience: http://www.yelp.com/biz/pacific-….
Used to live a few blocks from there and I've missed it terribly since I moved.
- Looks great. Anything specific we should order?CincodeMayo
- I used to live @ Lamont and Reed a handful of blocks away.monospaced

Any unique streets to check out with good grub and fun shops? Been to the Gaslamp and might stop by for some of that mussel bisque at Dobson's, but any other nice strips to check out?
- If you drive north maybe check out Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach. Very nice, but kinda fru-fru/yuppy too.nocomply
- India St. / Little Italy is a nice walk, and near downtown.nocomply
- 5th Ave in Hillcrest (near 5th & University) is cool if you've never been there.nocomply
- India Street in Little Italy has that really cool art store you might enjoy checking outHijoDMaite

Bird Rock Coffee Roasters in La Jolla recently won the award for roaster of the year. Their coffee is really good, worth it to take home a pound of fresh NIcaragua Antigua

park at bottom of the hill (La Jolla Shores Dr.) right by scripps instate and hike on the beach north for about 2 miles. You will see, scripps pier, the mushroom house, blacks beach (nude beach) and finally end up at the glider port where you will see gliders over your head. It's pretty cool.
Scripps Research Pier
La Jolla Mushroom House
Torrey Pines Gliderport
- why you skip the pic of blacks beach?!johnny_wobble

We're staying in La Jolla cause the hotels are super nice and we got an awesome rate. We were hoping to just lay out, get some sun and relax all weekend, but it's looking like it's going to be about 55 and rainy. We'll be driving around, so we're open to suggestions anywhere around La Jolla or SD. I guess we're looking for the kinds of things you can only do in San Diego, unique spots, unique eats, that kinda thing. Didn't know about the MOCA in La Jolla...good to know. We'll probably skip out on the really touristy spots (Sea World, Zoo, Legoland, etc.)

not sure what's in La Jolla besides the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the beach. It's mostly old people there, it's probably nice if you have kids and you want to bring them to the beach, as long as the weather is nice..
What do you guys like to do?
I live here and I have never been to sea world (and turned down the opportunity about 6 times) I've been to the zoo once (I was kinda forced).
