Food scene

For your foodie heart to go wild and enjoy the local grub.
A neighborhood eatery that has farm to fork. All of their ingredients make every plate of food spectacular. Open for breakfast + lunch + dinner. Though they are famous for their Bloody Mary’s, on a warm evening I love their blackberry basil lemonade.

Trader Joe's is my go-to for all the best snacks and healthy choices on food. They have a grab-and-go selection of salads and sandwiches, and some great frozen foods. They have a great selection of dressings and sauces, like their BBQ sauces and yellow curry. Their frozen desserts are amazing, like their cookie ice cream sandwiches, or their cheese cake variety pack.

If you are really up for a challenge and love to hike, start early and go late in the day hitting all 5 peaks in the 5 peak challenge. This is the spot for hiking, biking, rock climbing, or simply take a relaxing stroll. There is a Visitor Center which is fun to get information on the park and the animals that live there.

Walk or bike along the water. Swimming, water sports, fishing, or a picnic. Scenic and relaxing. Local tip is head to the bay side where the Catamaran is and rent a paddle board or pedal boat to get out and play on the Mission Bay waters. Weekends get crowded so get there early to reserve a boat.
