My favorite neighborhood. In my opinion the home to the best food in San Diego and it's super family friendly and fun. Saturdays they have a popping Farmers Market that's so fun and always packed. We like to visit the Farmers Market, get coffee nearby, and then walk along the Harbor for a morning activity. This neighborhood is also our date night go to for dinner then desserts and a fun walk.
