5/5 Stars for the Easy Star All-Stars
Last night I had the chance to see one of my favorite reggae bands, Easy Star All-Stars, at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Known for bringing some of the best reggae acts to San Diego, the Belly Up’s relaxed and intimate atmosphere mixed with superb sound quality is a great pick for seeing […]
Culture and Cocktails
When you hear the word “museum,” do you automatically yawn? Does just reminiscing about grade school field trips to museums remind you of stuffy old buildings filled with paintings? The San Diego Museum of Art’s “Culture and Cocktail” events are meant to bring out the art-lover in everyone by pairing art exhibits with live DJ’s, […]
In Case You Need Reasons to Road Trip
Last weekend, the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register both ran stories that will get you itching to hit the road. The Times wrote about seeking out great craft beer and specifically highlighted brewery tours in San Diego.

Burgers, We Like ‘Em All
Craving a burger in a hurry? You’re in luck because, in San Diego, we’re deep in the heart of In-N-Out country. Zagat just confirmed that the fresh, never-frozen, made-to-order regional icon is tops in the country for drive-through burgers. No surprise here. It’s pretty common for visitors to make a point to stop at In-N-Out. But, San Diego’s bevy of burger […]
Learn to Surf Like a Diva
San Diego’s famed Surf Diva Surf School is the world’s number one surf school for women and I was lucky enough to brave the waters during a one-hour lesson. For me, this was a major step. I know I live in San Diego where surfing is like a form of breathing, but I’m from Nor […]
Living the Good Life
Every smart husband circles two dates on the calendar each year. Not the Super Bowl and your fantasy baseball draft, I’m talking about the smart husbands. Those two dates would be your wedding anniversary & your wife’s birthday, cavemen! I am usually pretty good at lining up great getaways and dinners, but this year I […]
