Best Shopping Malls, Outlet and Places in Lake George Area

"This beautiful museum began in what was once the 1916 Mission-style home of Ellen Browning Scripps, noted San Diego philanthropist. (The Institute of Oceanography and the breathtaking oceanside park are named for Mrs. Scripps.) Expansion to the original building was completed in the mid-1990s. The museum houses an impressive collection of post-1950s contemporary art from famed California artists as well as works by Warhol, Cornell and Stella."

"It’s a rare phenomenon for such a sunny place, but it does happen, and it doesn’t have to be a vacation ruiner. Just visit somewhere like the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD). MCASD houses many different types of art, including paintings, sculptures, scrolls and 3D art installations that jut out from the walls and dangle from invisible strings."

"This museum has a few different exhibits rotating throughout the year and they make plenty of appearances on instagram. These exhibits have already left, but see the ones they have now here."

"One of the former navy buildings at Liberty Station has been adapted for this enticing food destination. Open seven days a week, 11:00 – 19:00, the Liberty Public Market is like an urban central market, showing off the best of the region’s wine, beer, fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, pastries, prepared foods, sauces and arts and crafts. It’s a place for people who are concerned about food provenance to do their food shop, but is also a must for on-the-spot dining, with a dash of pop-up eateries and stands."

"When asking people for recommendations on what to do during a trip to San Diego, they’ll probably mention Liberty Public Market. It runs all day and every day, and it offers a staggering amount of goods from dozens and dozens of vendors. Whether you’re looking for rare books, artisan cheeses, homemade jewelry or cheesy t-shirts saying “I Heart California,” you can find them here."

"This ma n’ pa eatery has mastered the formula for golden-brown fried perfection. The titular entree (fish & chips) is hands-down a popular favorite because the delicate, fresh-caught fish is masterfully coated in a light tempura batter, flawlessly fried, and gently nestled next to a mound of scrummy steak-cut fries. The airy tempura batter is what sets Mr. Fish & Chips apart from other fried fares."

"While the pandemic has put a stop to indoor dining, locals in the Clairemont area still line up at this mom-and-pop shop for fresh fish and chips. Huge pieces of cod get the tempura treatment and come served with coleslaw and thick-cut fries. Two kinds of shrimp, jumbo and popcorn, are also worth a taste."

"Located right above the Fish Market, Top of the Market provides gorgeous views of the San Diego Bay. Here you can enjoy seafood that is fresh and delicious. The restaurant has an intimate ambiance that is perfect for date night."

"The San Diego Union Museum enables visitors to see where the San Diego Union, the first newspaper in the city, got its start. Visitors can tour the recreated editor’s office and the original print room to see how they looked in 1868. The prefabricated wooden building was manufactured on the East Coast, shipped to California and reassembled in 1851."

"The museum showcases the region’s unique, colorful, and diverse history exhibiting artifacts, costumes, textiles, art, and photographs detailing life and development of the local area."

"Start the day in Balboa Park and try to get there early because this park is HUGE (and by huge I mean there is a freeway and several other roads running through it). Balboa park isn’t just green space, its packed with the best of San Diego’s museums and you’ll want to do some pre-planning to decide which museums you want to see in the time available (half a day). I’m a space and science nerd so I made a beeline for the Air and Space Museum."

"San Diego Itinerary Day three: Balboa Park and Point Loma Day three begins in Balboa Park, San Diego’s cultural epicenter and home to over 15 museums. Stroll around and take in the beautiful grounds, gardens, and Spanish architecture, and explore one of the museums if you’re inclined. My favorites are the Natural History Museum and the Museum of Man."

"Balboa Park is one of the most Instagrammable parks in San Diego!. While you’re there, don’t miss the lily pond!. This reflection pool is not your average little lily pond."

"The Chinese Historical Museum displays Chinese-American art, culture and history. Housed in a restored mission-style building, exhibits include miniature models, historic photographs and rare artifacts related to the heritage of San Diego’s Chinese community. *Small donation requested."

"This family-owned North Park restaurant has been serving incredible Cantonese fare since 1931. With that many years of experience, you know you’re in for a treat regardless of what you order but if you need a few suggestions, a few of the staff’s favorites include crispy beef, walnut shrimp and Szechuan tofu."

"Chef Wong, which is located in Carmel Mountain, has only been around for a couple of years but it’s already building a fan base in North County. Try the fried cream cheese wontons for an appetizer and the chow fun noodles or the Xiao Long Bao, a steamed bun with pork."
