1. Noble Experiment
I have an official announcement: I'm moving to San Diego!
First order of business is to have my mail forwarded to Noble Experiment since I have no real place to live but plan on spending a considerable amount of time there during my indefinite stay in…More »

Just rolled into SD and in the spirit of keepin' San Diego classy we decided to take care of our first order of business- to purchase a toothbrush since I can never manage to remember to pack the damn thing while getting quarters for our meter…More »
3. Mexican Fiesta
Some things you should know about me: I'm not above eating food from a place that looks like it was plucked from a 3rd world shanty town and my '5 second rule' countdown is v. lax in that my 5 might be another person's 30.
Majority of the time, this…More »

Category:
Desserts
Neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Downtown
1300+ yelp reviews surely can't be wrong. So the BF and I decided to join the huddled sweets-loving San Diego masses in tasting some tasty bites from Extraordinary Desserts... and in true Candi G fashion, we started with drinks.
Bev for moi:…More »
5. Basic
San Diego, CA 92101
(619) 531-8869
When I was in 5th grade a slice of Chicago style deep dish pizza tried to choke this B out. I had to be ripped out of a both and given the Heimlich in front of an entire restaurant until I coughed up the gooey cheese wad that was almost my demise. So…More »
6. Birch Aquarium
La Jolla, CA 92037
(858) 534-3474
Which way to the chocolate starfish exhibit? Okay, just kidding. But really, where are the bathrooms? I need to fix my weave.
For realz- this aquarium is A-OK as a non-child bearing adult who just loves to see (sea) animals. A good place to kill and…More »
7. Travelodge
Yes, I stayed here. And after I finish writing this review I'd rather not speak of it again so please respect my shameful wishes.
I first want to put out there that we weren't even going to be in San Diego for 18 hours before we'd have to leave for a…More »

9. Comfort Inn & Suites
The Facts:
-We were in town for a wedding and this is the hotel the wedding block was at.
-I was excited they had a yelp check in offer for a free room upgrade or a souvenir pen. They told us we couldn't get the upgrade and that they were out of…More »
10. Sidelines Sports Bar & Grill
Decent place for the start of a bachelor party to which I was elected the lucky lovely to pick up my boo and all his boyz and take them to a steakhouse nearby. Yay me. (add sarcasm font. I'd much rather have been shopping the nearby Target than…More »
11. Thai Orchid Restaurant
Yummy food, affordable prices, and service so nice you'll leave having made a new friend.
My yelpy GPS gave horrible directions to this place but I called and a man with a very high pitched voice was so helpful in getting me to my desired food…More »
12. Chili's Grill and Bar
First off, I'm from out of town and I DID NOT choose to go here.
Second, I wouldn't EVER go here on my own volition.
Third, I didn't have a bad experience here.
I was in town for a friend of my BFs wedding and while the boys were out for the the…More »
13. Corner Pocket Sports Bar & Grille
When we heard there was a bar open late that recently decided to change it's name due to the amount of stabbings that had previously taken place there, naturally- this was a our first choice in Ladies' Night celebration destinations.
While out with…More »
14. The Mill
Wedding Rehearsal ... (wait for it) ... BRUNCH- Eek!
This could spell BadNewsBears the morning pre-wedding and post- Bachelor party. Normally with a rehearsal dinner you'll get a little more recovery time and it's nice to let all the booze and green…More »
15. Leoness Cellars
Gorgeous! -but if you don't look like you came from paper, they prob won't give you the wine attention you were hoping for.
The grounds are beautiful here- not the best of Temecula, but they're up there and there's lots of great photo-ops or relax…More »

First visit was this past October along with about 8 other wineries and my second visit was about 2 weeks ago. This was the only winery I enjoyed enough to bring people back to.
Well, okay, that's not true- I would've repeated a few of the others but…More »
17. Juice It Up!
Let's keep it simple:
I originally went here because I thought it was another place that looked healthy and had coffee, tea, juice, and juice blends. Unfortunately, like I said, I went to the wrong place.
Juice it up! is basically a Jamba Juice…More »
18. Macy's
First off, why does this listing look like it was made by a 13 year old writing to her friend on AOL messenger? Capital 'M' and 'Y'? My OCD has me needing to balance this a bit, so from here on out (this review only)- no more capital letters.

They have Superman ice cream. I repeat, they have Superman ice cream.

Murrieta, CA 92562
(951) 696-1440
The worst tasting Starbucks beverages I have ever had were made here.

21. Virgin America
Currently writing this review at 36,338 ft, en route from Chicago to San Francisco.

22. Tropisueño
All my life I've dreamed of having pozole... okay, maybe not ALL my life, but defo within the last 2 years when I found out pozole existed.
These past 2 years also coincided with the past 5 years of being vegetarian, just so you can see where this…More »

For under $6 I got a double-wide sized bowl of tofu bibimbop AND got to look at about 8346872557 million other people get served amazing food in the process.
Besides my tofu bibimbop being enough food for 3 people, I also saw one super tempting…More »
24. W San Francisco
I was all alone staying at the W for business, but the crazy comfortable mattress in my cozy corner room with a view made me wish I were in town for biz-nast.
I could imagine some rather magical nights are had on those bad boys and I fully endorse…More »

26. San Francisco International Airport - Terminal 2
Best airport ever. Maybe cleanest, too. Oh, and did you check out the yoga rooms?
Open, airy, and the GD greatest shopping and food option any airport has ever seen. Duty free Kiehl's, pedicures, cupcakes, coffee, wine, crab cakes, locally made…More »

Tears for fears pumping the stereo? I want to go to there.
Actually, when I walked in Phil Collins was on and shortly after Peter Gabriel. Had they flat out played Genesis I would have had to leave my group to seek higher ground and cleaner underwear.…More »
28. Kiehl's
Duty Free Kiehl's? Genius!
I walked by several times while perusing the many shopping, eating, and entertainment options of SFO Terminal 2 and saw no one in the Kiehl's store for my first 3-4 laps. Then I stop in and almost immediately become…More »
29. San Diego Zoo
The San Diego Zoo is the purrr-fect place for someone who's as batty for animals as I lamb, er, am.
Among the highlights of my many, many, many visits to the San Diego Zoo over the past few years are:
- I fed a rhino to the tune of elbow deep in…More »
30. Huntington Park
As a perpetual dog park creeper, I fully approve of Huntington Park.
Along with being able to see about 7834654923 million cutie pie pups in this somewhat small topiary enclosed park, it's got benches, fountains and well kept grounds, and the…More »

Category:
Botanical Gardens
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
Up until yesterday, when I thought of 'tenderloin' images of savory steaks cooked medium rare with the perfect balance of blood and beef came to mind.
After a lone stroll through the Tenderloin of San Fran, I now associate Tenderloin with an unsavory…More »

Never have I ever drank so much…More »
33. Equator Coffees & Teas
Nice soy chai latte, but they don't do 20oz cups...
... and I ordered mine in their largest (16 oz) but was given a measly 12oz cup...
... and the kid behind the counter was more compelled to argue that I had said 'small' than to correct his…More »

I grew up behind a dumpster.
Yes, you read that correctly.
No. I did not live out in the open directly behind the dumpster, but my family's townhouse was the only home situated directly behind the trash canister area for our parking lot. All too…More »

I have very few regrets in life. Surprisingly.
But off the top of my head, I can think of 2 things that stand out the most:
1.) In 2003 I received what appeared to be a piece of spam email sent to my Yahoo inbox (Yes, back in 2003 people had @yahoo.com…More »
36. Tonga Room & Hurricane Bar
All my years of emulating Jean Grey have finally paid off.
Apparently, I tapped into my telepathy at Tonga Room because one minute I was just sitting there, only thinking about ordering a drink (probably purple drink), when one magically appeared in…More »
