Head downtown for a big list of our recommended spots. The Embarcadero, near Seaport Village, the Maritime Museum and the Convention Center, is a lovely spot to enjoy a morning walk and coffee, sit by the bay and read a book or take your puppy on a walk. You get a beautiful skyline view of Coronado and the water. There’s shopping and dining, buskers and couples having romantic picnics. It’s a fun combination of locals and tourists, and it’s a good spot for families.

Manières de faire des économises
The Orange Line
Walk less than half a block south of the Airbnb to access San Diego’s convenient Orange Trolley line. They’re fun, they’re cheap and they’re so close. At $2.50 per ride, it’s far less than an Uber (which are also reasonable to most places from the house). Travel west to get to the convention center in less than 10 minutes. It will even take you out to Fashion Valley if you switch to the green line. That’s a bit more ambitious, but have fun! You can do it! We believe in you. By the way, fashionistas will appreciate the mix of high-end stores there like Scotch & Soda, Gucci and Prada. Good luck!

Salt & Straw Ice Cream
This trendy place with several locations in the Southwest is located right in Little Italy. They stock your basic flavors, but they love trying kooky combinations. They make amazing sundaes! They’re always fantastic. After dinner, you can get your ice cream and walk across the street to the piazza, people watch, grab a beer at the Little Italy food hall.

Pop Pie Co.
Who doesn’t love pie?! We sure love it. This place is a staple for us. You can get both savory and sweet pies, coffee and teas (their London Fog is fantastic) and their sister company, Stella Jean’s Ice Cream is their next door neighbor. We love the steak and ale pie.

Bakery on 26th and Imperial
Check out this little place by Tularosa Casa de Arte (our business!). It’s a fantastic locally-owned shop that churns our fresh cookies and other goods every day. We love the bread pudding for less than a dollar and love picking a dessert from the cabinets filled with different types of treats.
