Everyone knows the big, touristy things to do in San Diego, but I've been discovering amazing locally-owned eateries, bars, venues, shops, things to do, all within walking or biking distance from this listing. I'd rather my money go to locally owned shops than giant chains, especially when they need it the most in these tough times. Here are a few of my favs!

Food scene

Missing authentic southern Italian cuisine? I HIGHLY recommend not passing this one over. Best wood-oven Margherita pizza, with real buffalo mozzarella, prosciutto, basil, it's to die for. But my favs are the Burrata E Carciofi, and the Gnocchi Alla Sorrentina! Local tip... Ask for the owner Flavio, tell him Gabe sent you. There might be a free dessert or a sampling of limoncello in it for you!
