If you and your friends find yourselves in Gaslamp Quarter and want to find a place that is the perfect balance of the classy and the casual, stop in to The Tipsy Crow.

A hidden treasure in itself, Balboa Park is San Diego's ever-changing, always amazing 1,200-acre backyard and is worthy of a visit as much as an attraction. Start exploring arts & culture, must-see landmarks, engage in guided tours, shop for unexpected treasures, or simply eat your way through the Park. Walk, run, or relax among lush landscapes, sweeping architecture and natural wonders. The park is expansive, with its lush grass and scenery perfect for laying out on a blanket or just sitting on a bench and people watching as the afternoon unfolds. If you need to take a breather, there's no better place than Balboa Park!

Belmont Park truly has a little something for everyone. It has the distinction of being the only beach-side amusement park in southern California and its biggest draw is the Giant Dipper which is an original wooden rollercoaster. Another popular attraction is the Plunge, a 175-foot-deep indoor heated pool, the largest in the state. There's also Pirate's Cove which is literally a 7,000-square-foot indoor playground. Plenty of places to shop and dine can be found here, too, so make plans to head to Belmont Park and leave happy.
