San Diego?

[micropolitan guy]

There's a place on El Cajon Blvd. (I think) near SDSU called Smashburger. No need to go to In n Out.

Over on Coronado at Sunset Park you can park your car and walk over to North Beach Dog Park and you are directly under the flight path of the arriving fighters and usually can watch SEALS training.

Appreciating the tips. We’re doing San Diego next year for vacation.

Ok first meal was a dud.

I was up at 1:30 EST this morning and got to SD at 11 am local time. Got an early check in and was desperate for lunch.

Right by my hotel is apparently the place where they shot the Top Gun scene when Goose is playing Great Balls of Fire.

Avoid. Holy cow avoid.


I mean come on alleged BBQ people. You guys know that ribs cooked in an oven are easy to detect, right? or is this some sort of California thing where they make BBQ but impart absolutely zero smoke flavor?

You got to San Diego, 10 minutes from the border, and headed straight for BBQ? I'll chalk this up to being sleep deprived.

I denounce myself, and I deserve public shaming.

For the record: The Midway might be my new favorite museum ever.

I had about three hours to spend there yesterday before they closed; I could spend all day in that place.

Oh yeah, it's aerogeek nirvana.

It’s worse than that.

Because of my particular tasking at work, I have a ton of interest just sitting in CDC staring at tactical consoles.

It’s fascinating to see how they’ve evolved.

The Yorktown in Charleston, S.C. is equally impressive. Intrepid in NYC is cool because it has the space shuttle Enterprise as part of the collection...But Midway was the coolest. They did it right.

It is definitely overpriced but the bar and restaurants at the Pendry are fantastic. Lionfish was a great meal.

while crossing a big bridge there, hurl half-eaten burrito out car window at biker. watch your dog get punted over a rail.

Only been to San Diego once, but hit Don Bravo for tacos while I was there and it was the ****.

So ... extra beans?
