Jul 20, 2015 | Contributor: Marissa StempienSummer is finally here, and we figured now is the best time to celebrate the opening of a new ice cream parlor in our own backyard. iDessert, a café by master pastry chef Jean-Philippe Maury, has just opened in San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood. ...

Jul 13, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoIt’s the Monday after Comic-Con, and for the most part, San Diego seems back to its usual relaxed self. But for the past five days, our seaside city was anything but relaxing and had a distinctly Times Square feel to it. Huge billboards dotted our skyline, public transit donned full body branding images and interactive zones invited non-ticket holders to participate in unique TV and film experiences. ... Read More | 
Jul 13, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichEvery year, networks and studios have to really do their best to wow fans and cosplayers at Comic-Con, and they certainly outdid themselves this time—just maybe not in the way you assumed. Though some of 2015’s most anticipated panels were worth the wait (holy moly, Star Wars), others failed to deliver anything new (like the contractually-silenced Game of Thrones cast). ...

Jun 30, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoWhen friends and family visit San Diego, they usually ask me about the best hotels in the area. And after having lived here for over five years now, I definitely have my favorites. Recently, I spent a weekend at La Valencia (aka The Pink Lady) in La Jolla for a mini-staycation to see what it had to offer. At the end of the trip, it was added to my list of SD hotel suggestions for many reasons, including its location, suites and dining options. ... Read More | 
Jun 26, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoIf there’s one thing that San Diegans absolutely love, it’s al fresco dining. And, if our outdoor table includes ocean views, then forget it, we’ll be there for hours. Which is exactly what happened to me when I visited JRDN at Tower23 one evening for dinner. Three hours later, and we were still sitting there, people-watching and sipping on French press coffee. ... Read More | 
Jun 22, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichWhen it comes to commenting on the current state of rock 'n’ roll, there’s really no band more qualified than The Doobie Brothers. They helped create the now-iconic California sound of the '70s, after all. Since first starting up back in 1970, the American rock group has sold over 40 million records and have gone through some incredibly distinct sounds. ... Read More | 
Jun 12, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoOne thing we’ve been saying for awhile now, is that San Diego needs a Ritz-Carlton. Our beautiful city is a prime location for the luxury brand. Well, this week, we came across Cisterra Developments’ current project list which includes a new Ritz at 7th and Market downtown. ... Read More | 
Jun 3, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichUnless you have a private driver taking you around 24/7, you’ve probably had to deal with finding a parking spot at some point—which is pretty stressful if you have a pressing engagement to attend. Valet isn’t offered as often as we would like, and while there are designated lots and garages that you can pay for, they aren’t exactly ideal for when you want to simply pull up to your destination and be done with it. ...

Jun 2, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoLa Valencia hotel already has some pretty cool bragging rights. Sitting cliffside in La Jolla, the San Diego luxury property has been a local staple since 1926 and has played host to many celebrities, politicians and other notable guests. Now they have even more to boast about with the creation of their new penthouse offering known as the Sky Suite. ... Read More | 
May 22, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichFirehouse American Eatery + Lounge in San Diego’s Pacific Beach officially reopened for business earlier this month after being closed for a $1 million renovation. The restaurant, which first debuted nearly a decade ago, brings some serious class to the beach with its new look, which includes Japanese-inspired wall treatments, mirror installations, and panoramic views of the ocean. ...

May 6, 2015 | Contributor: Merilee KernIf you're someone who seeks to exclusively or primarily eat foods that are locally produced or sourced within close proximity to your home, then it is official, you’re a “locavore!” The movement has been rapidly growing due to a greater interest in sustainability and eco-conscious dining. Nowadays there are quite a few restaurants catering to guests with this specialized mindset. ... Read More | 
Apr 30, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoLast night, we were among the first people to step foot into the completed Omnia San Diego during its private pre-opening party. And, although it was a Wednesday night, invited patrons came dressed to the nines in everything from full suits to (tiny) cocktail dresses and full-on Vegas-style wear. In a city known for its love of casual attire, this in itself was impressive (especially mid-week). ... Read More | 
Apr 24, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoWhen you’re always on the move and used to staying in hotels, they can sometimes begin to lose their WOW factor. Or, you may find yourself opting for the same properties you always go for—which is great, but not all that adventurous. ... Read More | 
Apr 16, 2015 | Contributor: Nicolle MonicoSan Diego is in for a serious treat come May. The James Beard Foundation has chosen The Lodge at Torrey Pines to host three days of culinary experiences overseen by celebrity chefs. Partially benefiting the foundation, the weekend’s chefs will include Food Network Star Beau MacMillan, JBF Award Winner Carrie Nahabedian and Executive Chef Jeff Jackson. ... Read More | 
Apr 7, 2015 | Contributor: Mila PantovichNo matter the season, San Diego beaches are relentlessly sunny, which makes them a great spot for any family vacation. If you’re looking for somewhere to escape to (even if it’s just a staycation), the Beach Village at The Del is offering a fantastic “Seas the Day” getaway package that comes with a luxe car rental and a catamaran cruise. ...
