A locally owned and operated cafe, Lofty roasts its own coffee beans."

"Lofty Coffee designed this cafe to take full advantage of the temperate San Diego weather with a wide-open and fluid, indoor to outdoor patio vibe. Nestled on a sun-kissed corner of Little Italy, there’s no better way to enjoy the elements with your cup of joe. Tagged with:Coffee, Coffee Shops, San Diego, Top 10"

His New American cuisine puts new twists on classic favorites. Specialties include buttermilk fried chicken, bone-in tomahawk ribeye, and locally sourced seafood specialties like Maine scallops."

"A warm, comfortable San Diego breakfast restaurant with a stylish atmosphere, serving share plates. Breakfast and brunch items are served on weekends only, but it’s worth the wait. You’ll savor pork belly hash, house-made banana bread, bottomless mimosas, and even a short rib breakfast poutine!"

"The USS Midway aircraft carrier, which served from 1945-1992, offers a fascinating glimpse into life aboard a giant ship. Self-guided audio tours are included with admission and are narrated by former Midway sailors. Docents, some of whom served on the ship while it was active, are on board every day to answer questions and can occasionally be persuaded to relate a funny or interesting story or two."

"Ocean Beach has its own unique vibe, and that same spirit can be felt at theOcean Beach Farmers Market!. This funky and hippy-happy beachside community creates a fun atmosphere with tasty meals, homemade arts and crafts, and live music. It’s probably the most unique farmers market I’ve ever been to (and that’s saying something!) So trust me, you won’t be disappointed."

"The second mid-week treat on our list, the Ocean Beach market is another San Diego favorite. Here you can find fresh produce, spreads, baked goods, honey, etc. With many pre-packaged and to-go dishes available, it’s a great spot to grab a bite to eat for dinner after picking up your favorite local goods."

"Smaller than the other markets but with the added bonus of being near the beach, the Ocean Beach Farmers’ Market takes place every Wednesday from 4 p.m."

"Partake in the traditional Churrasco without boarding a plane to Brazil. Skewers of meat are slow-roasted over a mesquite flame after being marinated in simple seasonings. The meat waiter will slice it freshly off the skewer until you throw in the towel."
