I will be in San Diego the middle of next month. Just curious about any showsgoing on at the end of the month.
Here's a good source for stuff happening. I'll look for more local stuff here for you. What dates will you be here? http://www.socalcarculture.com/events.html
Stay out of TJ!!!! To much bad shit happening south of the border. The SanDiego Auto museum is worth seeing. They have a pretty decent swap at Jack Murphy Stadium about once a month. Plent of other shit to do. If nothing else go to Pacific beach and enjoy the eye candy. Todd
Go to Ocean Beach and eat a burger at Hodad's. Go to Chula Vista and eat tacos al pastor at Tacos El Gordo. Go to North Park and eat pizza at Lefty's Pizza. Go to Little Italy and eat lasagna at Filippies. Go to City Heights and eat pho at Saigon. Go to Lemon Grove and eat carnitas at Carnitas Uruapan. Go downtown and eat fish and chips at Karl Strauss. I'm hungry. - Joe
Don't go to Mexico, too much chance for trouble. San Diego has world class beaches, a famous zoo, lots of entertainment downtown, and a vibrant hot rod scene. There are cruise nights and car shows.
I just made ribs... Yeah, unless you have a buddy that is familiar with TJ, don't go. Go to PB and look at boobies. Lot's of cool stuff to do. Live music: The Casbah The Radio Room The Tower Bar Tio Leos I can't think of any car stuff... Although on the 9th there is some cool stuff in LA/ OC - Aces on the 9th - Gasoline is starting a new art show. on the 9th. - Joe
Hey Joe, is the Belly Up in Solana Beach still cooking good blues music? That place used to be a real hoot.
Tugmaster said "The SanDiego Auto museum". He's right; its in Balboa Park. So is the Zoo. Along the waterfront, there is the Maritime Museum (including the Star of India sailing ship) and the USS Midway museum. Be sure to eat at In-and-Out Burger. The Hotel Del Coranado is neat. I love that town; too bad its 2500 miles away. Gary
I never make it up there, but they always get good acts. Look on www.sdreader.com for event stuff... GaryM - those are all cool places, but way touristy. Except In-and-Out, pretty good burgers. If you are in town for burgers, hit Hodad's and The Malt Shop. - Joe
These are all good, and see Woody's good ol boys calendar linked below. Especially Hodads burgers and Carnitas Urapan...UMMMM deep fried pork http://www.goodoleboyssandiego.com/events.htm Tony
wow, ive lived here all my life, and ive never done half the things /gone to half the places mentioned If you/your car is up to it and you like the twisties, head through rancho santa Fe, some good roads through there You can Also head to barona 1/8th mile strip or Qualcomm Race Legal if you please this thread is making me realize how little i truly know about this city your unlucky, you just missed good guys at Del Mar...
I will be in the area for three weeks. Unfortunately I will be afoot. My ship is going to be down at 32nd street. I will be restricted to the trolley and on foot.
My wife and I were there a few years back and found lots of interesting spots. We got tickets for the "Old Town Trolley Tour" that goes all over the area and you can get on and off anywhere you like. One place we stopped at had old cars and the best model train display I have ever seen. It was fantastic. Hope tou enjoy yourself.
32nd street is pretty close to some cool stuff. Two Roses Tattoo, Coffee and Barbershop is down there, Car Connection is near there.. Hit up Los Cuatros Milpas for tacos... amazing.
You hit the mark Joe....Lefty's, Filippi's and the Tower Bar for sure! Cuise nights up and running in Chula Vista, El Cajon and La Mesa by then i think? Plus get-togethers at Fosters on Thursdays and i hear at the new Sonic in El Caon. Oh yeah...good call on Los Cuatros Milpas. Passed by there at the Chicano Park celebration this weekend and the line was going down the street.
Belly Up is always pretty good Hit Hodads in Ocean Beach for a killer burger and scenery Coyote Cafe in Old Town fun place to hang and eat SD Auto Museum in Balboa Park is cool Surf museums in Imperial Beach and Oceanside are cool Check out the Hang Gliders at Torrey Pines Ride the Coaster at Belmont Park in Mission Beach Barona dragstrip usually has some cool stuff going on Yakitori in Sports Arean area has some killer Japanese food Dick's Last Resort in the Gaslamp district is a blast Cruisin' Grand in Escondido on Friday nights is pretty good
Oh, yeah - hit up Dick's Last Resort! Twice a year they do all you can eat snow crab legs... live music, pretty girls and the wait staff if completely comprised of assholes. I run the myspace for the Fosters cruise night: http://www.myspace.com/antilamesa. I'll have to try Yakitori... I work next door to the sports arena. If you have access to a computer when you are out shoot me a PM. - Joe
Maybe one of the local HAMBers will give a hard working military man a tour of the town. If I still lived in San Diego I would hook you up shipmate. Todd
Well we are anchored off San Diego for tonight and will be pulling into the Navy base in the morning. Hopefully I will get to go around town until next monday when our training starts.
Come by True Line, or call anyway. I'll show you the scene and/or point you in the right directions. Tony 619-417-4224 cell
