San Diego Attractions
Top Breakfast Spots
There are many in San Diego; I cannot positively explain, but my guess -- we are a city of early risers, thanks to great weather and scenic streets in our neighborhoods during the early hours of Sun rise. In addition, no one wants to travel too far after waking up.

Top Dinner Spots
San Diego has many notable, award winning restaurants. This is a list of my personal favorites.
I enjoy this place for the small plates and plates to share. If the plan is a light dinner, this place is not expensive. Nothing wrong to enjoy an Italian sandwich or pizza in Little Italy during sunset, then walk to Juniper and Ivy for tapas + drinks.

Traditional served sushi. I recommend the Chirashi bowl to try various cuts of fish. More experience sushi eaters order omakase (chef’s choice), which ideally when you are seated at the sushi bar with reservations. Hane Sushi in Banker’s Hill (near Balboa Park) is Ota’s sister restaurant, but has a different menu.

Heard of a California burrito or the carne asada fries? This is a nearby, small Mexican/taco shop. For dinner or early morning, I recommend their beans and carne asada fries. I order the fries with salsa fresca and sour cream on the side. Your beverage option is a horchata or jamaica x-large. Eat it on the spot for crunchy fries. You need a lot of red + green hot sauce.
