Go for lunch or dinner - my favorite items are the brisket and pork ribs. Amazing Texas-style BBQ right around the corner, on 32nd Street. If the line is long, they hand out free beer while you wait. Open until 10 pm or sell out, and they usually sell out first. Worth the wait in line! Bring your own beer or wine, or stop at Thorn Street Brewery around the corner to get a growler of beer to enjoy with the BBQ.

Arts & Culture

The city's art museum, in beautiful Balboa Park. Featuring a vast and varied collection of art and eclectic traveling exhibitions. My favorite part is the sculpture garden, which now features a bar, Panama 66, and sometimes live music.
