"Everyone knows that San Diego is BIG but to be honest until the past 10 years the food scene was pretty predictable with mainly big tourist restaurants and unknown and unmemorable neighborhood eateries. However this has changed with celebrity chefs opening up shop and local chefs feeding their neighborhoods. There are plenty to choose from but here are my top picks for the Best of the Rest in San Diego dining."

"Located on Adams Avenue, Jyoti-Bihanga merges different cuisines as well as new vegetarian inventions. One of their signature dishes is the Buddha burger, which they make from soy protein, jack cheese, and a selection of vegetables, all served on a nine-grain bun. Vegans and vegetarians alike will love the vegan salads, but if cheese is an option for you, don’t miss out on the Greek goat cheese salad."

Must-Visit Attractions in San Diego
"This unique geological formation looks like a sliver – hence the Potato Chip name – but is sturdy enough to support the weight of a person or two. The rock is the reward for a challenging hike up Mount Woodson and is a great spot for some Instagram-worthy snaps. If you’re tempted to make the climb, bring lots of water and start early: temperatures can get very high in the area."
