One of the best breakfasts you'll ever eat. I first ate at Snooze in Denver and when they opened up a few restaurants in San Diego, I was very excited! Long lines on Saturdays and Sundays if you don't get there before 8:00am

Locally owned. NOT IHOP! Best buttermilk pancakes ever (except for Snooze who puts white chocolate syrup, etc on theirs). Basic eggs and bacon diner as well. Very long waits if you don't get there by 8am on the weekends.

My favorite hike in all of the United States. A bit of a work out if you hike all the way to the beach and back. A lovely stroll overlooking the cliffs if you want to stay on the top level. A lot of people park just north of Torrey Pines on the street along the ocean and walk up the road inside the paid parking area to get to the hiking trails (Saves you $10-15 I can't recall), and then hike down to the beach and back to your car. Takes 1-2 hours depending on how fast you are.

Arts & Culture
This is the most visited museum in all of the U.S. if you can believe it. I was surprised to hear this. It is a WWII aircraft carrier that has a lot of history and wonderful docents.
