Sorry, I'm NOT from the Nederlands but I did vacation there.

Bronx Pizza, I'm from Pennsylvania, it's just a short drive to the real Bronx.

The Black, HODAD's, now you're talking..... do you know me?
Thanks and keep the recommendations coming.

Now TastyKakes, those I could deliver.

There is so much to do and eat and very hard to narrow things down. It all depends on what you and your wife are into. Party, beach, relaxing, site seeing. SD got it all.

Good list of eateries though.

Phil' BBQ, just about any restaurant downtown in the Gaslamp, Little Italy or Seaport. Blacks Beach, Cheetah's has a great lunch menu.

Ah, Cheetahs is out, although I would like to get my wife to a strip club, but Blacks Beach is a strong possibility. We'e been to clothing optional beaches in the past.

Thanks!!

Just got back less than 24 hours ago.

Coronado Island, wow, beautiful island, beautiful homes. Mission Beach had that nice beach town vibe and I got a complete education on vaporizers. La Jolla, did that, saw the seals, ate at Whisknladle, good stuff. Had a cupcake at Cups and was underwhelmed but the chocolate milkshake made up for it. Ocean Beach, kinda gritty but had a great vibe to it and Hodads!!, best burger EVER. Got to witness two young girls get caught shoplifting at South Shore Beach Shop, workers didn't call the cops but did call their Mothers. Visited the Surf Museum at Oceanside, kool place if you've never been there, lots of history there on both surfing and skateboarding.

Drove to the Mexican border, wife was scared and wouldn't bring our passports , from there drove up through Imperial Beach, small town but the waves by the pier look killer.

Ate at Nobu, never again, blah. Broken Yolk Cafe was decent, it's breakfast. Cafe 222 had a killer breakfast though, cute servers to boot. Phils BBQ, blah, Salt Lick in Texas was WAY BETTER. Lucha Libre, OMG, where else can you get a burrito like that for under $5, nowhere.

Meal of the trip goes to searsucker in the Gaslamp District. Absolutely fantastic. On the bottom of their menu read, "May Grays go away, come again another day" I couldn't agree more. Again, if you like good food and are a foodie not afraid to try new stuff, searsucker is for you. Hint: Duck Fat Fries!!!!!


Great trip, will return someday, the classic cars, the beaches, the architecture.............I'm jealous.

phils BBQ is weak compared to BBQ house across the street from hodads in ob. hodads is amazing, Bronx pizza is good. I'm not a fan of Lucha libre, and broken yolk is a franchised place.

stone brewery, Escondido. beaches. hodads. BBQ house. are my votes of best in sd.

Then lets check out the BBQ house across the street from Hodads? Never been to Hodad's either. I feel like I'm missing out now.
