Chow worthy near Birch Aquarium

Looking for dining options before or after a concert at Birch aquarium. The catch is it will probably need to be early (4 pm) or late (after 9pm) on a Wednesday.

Cuisine not so important. Any thoughts?

Kensington Grill closing

East Coast vs. West Coast seafood. Sounds intriguing though I am not sure which is the heart and which is the soul.

Well this is sad news: El Take It Easy to shutter on April 22

Will there be any optiion for this type of food in SD? I guess Romesco's but felt like that place was having a serious indentity crisis the one time I was there.

sad news indeed.

Kensington - Breakfast

Doesn't serve breakast but I think we wil do the Easter Brunch instead.

I am mostly curious because I am moving to the neighborhood soon. Is Kensington Cafe (the think that's the name) the only option for Breakfast?

Favorite (independent) coffee shop?

Toma Del Sol in Mission Hills is good, although in their infintite wisdom they are now turning it into a Sports Bar. Ugh.

Birthday Cake

I need to obtain a birthday cake and just realized most bakeries need a couple of day advance notice for something custom. Is there a good place to get a pre made cake?

Thanks in advance!

Best Michelada

El Take it easy sounds like a place I would like to check out, although maybe, as much as I like Avery, a bit sacreligioius to use a microbrew in a Micheleda?

El Camino it is!

Thanks!

pre wedding dinner with family - recomendations: North County coastal

much appreciated! I will look into these suggestions.

pre wedding dinner with family - recomendations: North County coastal

Hi,

I am looking for recommendations for a site to have a pre-wedding dinner with families of bride and groom, kind of like a rehearsal dinner without the rehearsal.

I would prefer something that provides something of a San Diego experience as both families are flying in from the midwest-south. Saying that, guests are not very adventurous eaters so some meat and potatoes staples will be necessary.

I would prefer north county - coastal as the wedding will be in Encinitas but am willing to look at other areas. A private room would be nice but not a deal breaker.

Thanks in advance for all of you help,
S

Downtown LA Italian/Pasta

Going to be in LA for the marathon next month, looking for a recommendation for mid range Italian or someplace nice that has some pasta selections on the menu.

We will be staying at the LA live Marriot, so around that area or a short cab ride away would be best.

Thanks so much!

Fresh Hearts of Palm in San Diego

maybe fresh is not in the cards, seems to only be available where they are produced (Florida, Brazil, Costa Rica)

I think this might be my best bet
