Want to relive Cory and Sterling's first date? Grab a taco, margarita, and some queso fundido at the spot the newlyweds first met.
How about Cory and Sterling's second date? Maybe you've noticed a theme; we love Del Mar and know you'll enjoy throwing down a towel on the beach or walking the beautiful cliffs at sunset.
Want to enjoy craft beer and local cuisine at America's best ballpark? Our favorite summer date night is catching a Padres game at Petco park. There are home games every day the week of the wedding!
Our local dive! One of the best ways to end a summer day is with a drink in hand on the deck of the Shanty in Cardiff. Make sure to order Sterling's favorite (vodka water + extra lemon/limes).
How could we not mention our favorite breakfast place? Birthday mornings start here and every time we feel like brunch its Claire's on Cedros. Walk the Cedros Design district and pop in for the best Lemon Ricotta pancakes you've ever tried alongside the green scramble (our favorite dish).
Because we love breakfast:
2nd place - Pipes cafe for their breakfast burritos
3rd place - Cafe Topes for their dirty cinnamon roll
Prepare to wait in a line out the door, but you will not be disappointed if you grab a bite at the Taco Stand! Walk the 101 in Encinitas and make sure stop in for their carne asada and spicy shrimp tacos.
If you have a sweet tooth and are looking for something delicious to cool you down, check out Cali Cream in Encinitas! Salty Oreo is our go-to flavor, but with a menu of about 652 flavors you cannot go wrong.
Walk our weekly morning and sunset route! Park across the street from Cicciotti's Trattoria Italiana & Seafood to start the walk, head north on the trail until you cross under the train tracks to the 101 about a mile up. Walk the 101 back south, cross the street at Chesterfield and round out the loop!
