BREAKFAST: Influx Cafe is definitely my favorite morning hideaway. I keep it pretty simple for breakfast; a Cranberry Muffin and an Earl Grey tea pretty much keeps me satisfied until lunch. Their Croissant Melts are good for those Saturday mornings after a long Friday night. Free WiFi and good music to go with your breakfast is always a plus too!

LUNCH: Pokez in the East Village has some of the best Mexican food in town. Their vegetarian/vegan friendly menu gets pretty deep; so your options of finding something you like are pretty good. I highly recommend their ‘Tofu, Potato and Mushroom’ Burrito. Their free chips and salsa starters are also a real treat.

DINNER: Pizzeria Luigi in Golden Hill is by far the best place to get pizza in San Diego. Their slices are almost too good that people sometimes forget that they offer some great pasta dishes as well. If their slices don’t fill you up, their Puttanesca plate definitely will.

BAR: The kind folks from Skull Kontrol put on some really cool shindigs at the Whistle Stop Bar in South Park. If you're in Downtown, you should definitely check out El Dorado and Bar 923.
