Dining
San Diego’s fresh, farmer- grown produce, hailing from 6,000
farms, shapes the way San Diego chefs slice, simmer and sauté.
They cook seasonally. That is to say, they use the bounty available
to them that day, that hour, that very moment the shutters to the
farmer’s stand are swung open. You can savor this impeccable
taste dining aboard a yacht, sitting seaside at one of many outdoor
cafes and restaurants or sipping wine at sunset. With 6,400 dining
establishments, some of which boast mastermind chefs recognized
by the famed James Beard House, there is more flavor and more variety
here than any spice rack could impersonate. Taste the art of fresh.
Shopping
Attention all shoppers: from sprawling discount outlet centers to
quaint upscale boutiques San Diego’s world-class shopping is
as varied as its weather is ideal. Expect 72-degree perfection,
even in the midst of a “must-have” moment because most
shopping venues are outdoors. Start the spree downtown in the Gaslamp
Quarter and its neighboring architectural wonder, Horton Plaza.
Take your bags to Fashion Valley, Mission Valley or La Jolla for
national department stores as well as stores unique to San Diego.
Carlsbad and Viejas’ outlet centers offer a needed refrain
for wallets. Round out your new collection with a trip to Old Town’s
eclectic, Mexican-flavored boutiques and jewelry stores. It’s
in the bag.
San Diego Art + Sol
San Diego is poised to curb any cultural craving. Spend the day
at lush 1,200-acre Balboa Park, one of the nation’s largest
cultural complexes and home to the largest concentration of museums
west of the Mississippi. Browse the spectacular array of fine art,
science and natural history, aerospace, photography, model railroads,
automobiles and performing arts. Plan a picnic near one of the Park’s
many botanical gardens or arboretums. When the urge strikes for
a little “Big-Apple” fare, there’s always Tony Award-winning
theater and world-class opera. Dance to the rhythm of blues, jazz,
reggae and rock at one of the many clubs, festivals and outdoor
concerts. And don’t miss the old-world Mexican architecture
that shapes many of the charming neighborhoods and shopping districts.
San Diego Zoo, Wild Animal Park, LEGOLAND, SeaWorld
Being home to four theme parks, San Diego is qualified to rinse
away daily humdrum. So bring the family and extend your business
stay for a meeting a pleasure. See animals from around the globe
at the San Diego Zoo. Rub noses with an endangered rhino at the
San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park. Set adventure (and kids)
free at LEGOLAND California, a vibrant interactive experience including
kid-powered rides. Devote a day to counting the teeth on a shark,
at SeaWorld. All proof that no vacation is ever long enough.
Gaming
“America’s Finest City” is home to Vegas-style gaming.
San Diego’s eight state-of-the-art casinos have everything
your gaming heart desires from poker and Pai Gow, to blackjack and
nearly as many slot machines as the destination has grains of sand.
And beyond the shrill of jackpot sirens you’ll find championship
golf courses, deal-laden shopping outlets and award-winning restaurants
woven right into these entertainment complexes.
Mexico/Baja California
For a real taste of Mexico just hop on the San Diego Trolley and
cross the international border. Enter a country so rich in culture
you can taste it before your lips hit the ring of salt. The dance
and deals are alive and well on the streets of Tijuana. Head a little
farther south for a few nights’ stay at one of the amazing
resorts nestled between rock and cove on a white sand beach. Viva
the good life.
Golf
Polish the clubs and prepare to test your handicap on one of 92
golf courses, many of which boast spectacular views and greens so
pristine, your swing may gather some welcomed inspiration. Perhaps
you’ll want to come a little early or stay a bit longer when
San Diego’s legendary course, Torrey Pines, hosts the 2008
U.S. Open. Mark your calendars for the annual Buick Invitational,
also at Torrey Pines and the Accenture Match Play Championship at
the pamper-perfect La Costa Resort & Spa. Fore!
