San Diego Restaurant Week EXTENDED!!!

Categories: Activities and Events, Communities, Community Events, Community Favorites

YEA!!!!  I LOVE San Diego Restaurant Week!  Mike and I always grab at least one other couple and go do a restaurant that we would normally never try for a non-special occasion!  Last year, we tried The Butcher Shop in Kearny Mesa and Firefly in Encinitas for the first time – and loved them both.  Who ever would have guessed that The Butcher Shop would become one of our absolute favorite San Diego restaurants?

This year, we met up with some friends, and went down to Flemings in La Jolla at the Aventine.  It was FABULOUS!  The food was wonderful, and the ambiance was heavenly.

San Diego Restaurant Week started a few years ago as a once a year event designed to bring extra traffic in during the slowest times of the year for restaurants.  It has now expanded to a three times a year event – with many restaurants now making it Restaurant (Two) Weeks.  The next San Diego Restaurant Week continues through Friday, January 27th.

For those of you who have never tried it – I can’t recommend it enough. Select San Diego restaurants create a special three course menu – with their meal being either $20, $30, or $40 for your appetizer, entree, and dessert.  You always end up overeating – but you try so many things you might not have otherwise!

For a complete list, visit the San Diego Restaurant Week website.  Reservations are strongly encouraged, as many restaurants are full well in advance – especially some of the San Diego premier restaurants such as Mille Fleurs, Marine Room, and Bertrand at Mister A’s!

The 3rd Annual La Costa Oaks Food Drive is Tomorrow!

Categories: Carlsbad, Communities, Community Events, La Costa, La Costa Oaks

Every year at this time the La Costa Oaks community pitches in to help those less fortunate and this year is no exception.

The Mewborn Team has been delivering boxes for the past few weeks to neighbors who are interested in contributing on behalf of the San Diego Food Bank. They then simply leave them on their front porch/courtyard and we will come by around noon ( weather permitting ) pick them up and deliver all of the canned/boxed/unperishable goods to the Food Bank.

It is so nice to live in a community that is willing to reach out and help their less fortunate neighbors during the holiday season.

Mike & Amy

Want Some San Diego Christmas Spirit? Try Ice Skating!

Categories: Activities and Events, Community Events

Having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit? When our weather is 70 and sunny, sometimes it is just hard to really believe that it is December and that Christmas is right around the corner. One of the things I used to do as a child in Indiana winters was to go ice skating. I remember on my first Christmas in San Diego, it was 2001, and warm! It wasn’t until going down to Horton Plaza one Friday night in December, and seeing the decorations and ice skaters, that it started to actually feel like Christmas!

If this is something you would enjoy doing this holiday season, there are a couple of great San Diego options: Read the rest of this entry »
