San Diego and the Fish Taco – A Perfect Pair

There are two things that are sure to get San Diegans talking (other than sports); Which beach is the best, and where to eat the best fish tacos. While the fish taco officially started somewhere in Baja, San Diego has adopted it as its signature dish.

Bring Your Crew to Avenue Q

Avenue Q is a  lot like Sesame Street, except puppets solve much more adult problems, learn about racism, and sing songs about the dark side of the internet. And […]
