I honestly don't understand the appeal of this place. We came here on a weekday and there was still a wait! Okay, I get the shock factor. Bring your friends from out of town and hear them exclaim "OH MY GOD! THE PORTIONS ARE RIDICULOUS!" as you all…More »
We were running late to the SD Yelp Elite event at the House of Blues. It was a toss up between paying $18 to park across the street from the HOB, continuing to drive around in circles through the maze of one-way streets in the Gaslamp, or parking at…More »
Sushi 4 You is not 4 me. I felt some trepidation when we decided to check this place out. It's in a strip mall, but sometimes you can really strike gold in unexpected places, so I decided to keep an open mind. The sushi chef greeted us in Japanese,…More »
When I was a GW student in residence, we didn't have a Trader Joe's within walking distance. *awww* I had to walk in the snow for 12 miles to the Trader Joe's in Rockville. I kid. But really, life was hard! Back in the day, I resorted to buying food…More »
The food at San Filippo's, in my opinion, is just shy of okay. Most recently, I had an eggplant parm sandwich for lunch and it was pretty tasteless. I've eaten here other times, but again, the food was pretty unmemorable.
The thing I remember most…More »
Mine was not your typical encounter with a pub. I found myself at Princess Pub for breakfast and it wasn't even because I am so hardcore that I drink my breakfast. No, it was just that my wife and I needed a place to grab some grub early on a weekend…More »
I wanted to like you, Hangers. You are, after all, the environmentally friendly dry cleaners. Perhaps my mistake was to try to move beyond dry cleaning with you into the realm of alterations. When I brought my pants in on Monday and was told that…More »

Humphrey's is a great venue to see a show. One way to get around the price of tickets is to invest in a canoe or raft early on in the season. Seriously, dozens of these things pull up to enjoy the show for free. I mean, it's one thing to enjoy a show…More »
Wow, now that was some crappy customer service! We walked in for dinner and were sneered at by the hostess like we were the new girls trying to join her clique. Look, all we want is a table! We were seated quickly and when we sat down there were…More »

Dear Green Temple,
You are the best vegetarian restaurant that I have ever met. Please go forth and multiply! If you weren't 30 minutes out of the way from my family in L.A. or over 2 hours away from where I live, I'd come over all the time.…More »

If you want luggage rammed down your throat, step into San Diego Luggage. A salesperson will quickly attach himself to your hip and follow you around the store trying to make a sale. Furthermore, he will not read any of your social cues as you subtly…More »
I mostly love the new Albertsons. The store is huge. There is a great selection of health food. In fact, there is a whole aisle with stuff like whole grain bread mix, vegetarian soup stock, Terra chips, organic cereal, etc. There's a wonderful…More »

1. Eat a snack
2. Go to Toshi's and put your name on the waiting list.
3. Wait a really long time. Maybe bring cards or a book to keep you occupied. If you come hungry, you are screwed and may…More »

I really had high hopes for Spud. Supporting local farmers by purchasing local produce? Yes, please. Lots of organic options? Great! Delivered to my door? Fantastic! But then...dum dum dum...the first delivery was a disaster. We placed our order for…More »
