when we first started dating jordan lived in a really cute little bungalow in north park. for the first few months i would take the train south every friday night and come back on sunday night. we'd spend our weekends trying out little cafe's where we could drink iced coffees and play card or try some little restaurant. we'd usually end our nights meeting up with some friends and one of the many watering holes in the area...
here are a few of our favorites around north park and downtown:
sushi deli - always a wait, but so worth it. try the sweet potato roll!
inn at the park - super cute joint right across the street from balboa park and in walking distance of hillcrest. our studio room had a full kitchen too!
twiggs coffee shop - the best almond croissant!
bronx pizza - real NY style pizza in hillcrest (great for a quick lunch mid shopping)
pokez - with vegan options (like potato flautas) you can't go wrong!
the linkery - they cure their own meats, they have a killer beer selection and it's right across the street from bar pink!
guru tattoo - go see Tom and let him zap you, you won't be sorry!
cherry bomb - super cheap drinks, great punk and metal jukebox, and quarter games of pool
whistle stop - cash only, but always a great time and an inside/outside smoking area for those of you who still partake.
livewire - our favorite, we had a our first unofficial date here!
rudfords - it's late, you're a little buzzed and know you don't want to wake up with a hangover, go to rudfords and get some late night breakfast
bar pink - you may have stepped into dumbo's bubble bath. nice stiff, cheap drinks and usually some kind of live band on the weekends you can't go wrong.
starlite lounge - need a spot for a date? or maybe you gotta get out of the dog house? take her here. she'll love it.
