Take out + alcohol consumption during the time of Covid-19, March - July 2020

Yes, another compilation post...

featuring take out food and snacks as well as alcomahol...

Pips & Bounce, Portland

Even in Portland, we saw a San Diego based brewery,

which was Modern Times. But this post is not about them, it's about Bert's choice of venue for entertainment...

Downtown Chula Vista Pub Crawl - Stops 4 & 5: 3 Punk Ales + Third Ave Alehouse

This was a place that Bert had visited recently...

and I was curious about 3 Punk Ales, one of the newer breweries here...

West Pac Noodle Bar

This post was originally written to go out in late January of this year, however, I decided to wait it out because I wasn't sure if we would revisit...turns out we didn't, for reasons which will be discussed later in this post...

But hey, enjoy this awesome view of the San Diego skyline while crossing the Coronado Bridge...

Bert and I were off to visit my mom...

23rd Anniversary Dinner @ Tribute Pizza

We really like this place and were finally able to bring TC with us

for our anniversary dinner...

Portland Day 3 - Piknik Park Food Carts & Beer Garden (Malaysian Straits + Dive Bar & Vegan Grub), Sellwood

From a hidden serene garden to trying to find a place to eat for breakfast...

We passed by the fairly new Harry Higgins Boiled Bagels next to the Columbia Sportwear Outlet....

Island Brewing Company, Farmer's Market, Robitaille's + Carpinteria Valley Museum of History

Located near the train tracks is a brewery...

which is one of three in Carpinteria...

Date night with Bert @ Tribute Pizza + Holsem Coffee

There were seven minutes left of Happy Hour...

and we made it just in time, heh heh...

Birthday lunch at Himalayan Curry & Grill

There was an interlude after James Coffee on Pacific Highway...

where we ended up going to Fashion Valley...

Lunch @ Rincon Brewery, Carpinteria

There were three breweries in Carp...

During the course of our stay, we managed to do two of them...

Bangkok @12 Thai Restaurant, Sacramento

Fresh from having seen Fuller Poles and Prince mural nearby...

it was time to call it a night but first...

Tropical Star Revisit

Last night TC was enjoying homecoming...

After dropping her off, it was time to do a revisit to Tropical Star!

Revisits - Supannee + Fathom Bistro + some unexpected history from my dad

This past weekend, Bert and I had dinner with my sis and her boyfriend at Supannee...

She hadn't been there since I took her with the kids...

"Where the West is Fun" San Diego Fair 2017 - The Food

It was still quite early, the hustle and bustle in the booths had not yet begun...

Note to selves, hopefully the information booth will have THESE maps available...

because guess what? It wasn't in the program booklet...

Date night in Kensington: Pappalecco + Moosie's

TC was out on a "date"...It was her first in which her boyfriend picked her up (he recently got his license) and took her out. Alone...

After watching his car containing our daughter go up the hill, we headed out ourselves. If she can have date night, why so can we, heh heh.

Our dinner destination was in Kensington...

Not Cucina Sorella, this time but another place a few blocks away...

Return to Tribute Pizza

Believe it or not, TC went to Prom this weekend...

After we took photos of her and her BF (or as Bert called him, the "boy that is a friend"), we decided to make it date night (date afternoon actually)...

Here is the view of some of the eateries on 30th St. from the North Park parking garage.

A few blocks away was our early dinner destination...

The site of the old North Park Post office now turned pizza place...

Mostra Coffee's "Super Saturday" @ The Cork & Craft + a peek at their upcoming store

When I saw this...

I knew we had to go...

It wasn't quite 9 am yet but there was a small line...

Al Reef now defunct...Plan B - Tribute Pizza

This past weekend. we were gifted with nice weather!

(photo taken Summer 2016)

TC had sports practice so we were off on our own again.

I thought we would use this coupon for Al Reef in North Park.

Lagunitas Brewing Company

A few miles away from Shollenberger Park was a brewery that Bert wanted to visit.

Even though we just had light (a light lunch that is), we were here and so off we went...

Tom Ham's Lighthouse + views from Harbor Island

We took the scenic route to Harbor Island from OB...ending up on Talbot Street in Point Loma where you can enjoy these views:

We hadn't been to Harbor Island in quite a while...


Bert suggested our lunch destination at the end of this man made peninsula...
