LUNCH: The pozole rojo at El Comal has the most beautiful flavor and warmth– it's tough to describe. El Comal is a Mexican comfort food spot, family-owned and operated. Urban Solace, right around the corner, makes a mean Burger served with Sweet Potato Fries. Also, the Arugula, Endive n' Radicchio Salad is an amazing start to any meal. Urban Solace has a dedicated and welcoming crew who make every visit special.  

DINNER: Where farm-to-table meets urban living, The Linkery has given us hope that San Diego can be a sophisticated, enviro conscious city. The great food, simple design and open air corner spot on 30th Street make it a draw for many. My favorite combo is whatever seasonal salad is on the menu with a daily spicy link. Beers are always delish. Jayne's Gastropub is a great date destination, the atmosphere is beyond charming. The Fish & Chips and Braised Beef Short Ribs are my top recommendations, but the menu is packed with superb culinary decisions. Everything is fabulous! 

BAR: Toronado for great beer & Bar Pink for great music. Depends on whose playing and what kind of mood we're in.
