Cafe De La Presse

I love this place!  Friendly staff (mostly -- see below), good food, and Chimay on tap.  It has an authentic French cafe vibe.  If you're in search of a foreign newspaper, this place has a huge selection of daily papers from around the globe.

The service is, well, French.  If you want to get someone's attention you should let them know.  French servers will typically leave you alone unless you need something.  And they're paid to be efficient, not friendly.  I expect that here and it doesn't bother me at all (hence five stars).  If you want someones nearly-full-time attention, sit at the bar.

I find it interesting that there seem to be a lot of French-speaking clients, too.  To me that seems like looking for a TGI Friday's in Paris. :)

A great, simple, no-frills place to get your hair cut and not pay a fortune for it.  I've been twice now and I've been happy both times.

Tip: No shampooing here (no frills!), so wash the gunk out of your hair before you go.

Happened to be in the area and stopped in for a sandwich.  Great food, good prices, friendly owner.

Very cute little cafe.  I recommend the Toscano. =)

Great place for a fun Friday afternoon lunch or happy hour!  Fantastic food, beer, and lots of space out back to sit around with friends.  Parking seems to be a bit tricky, but there are plenty of side streets.

Kiyo's Japanese Restaurant  

Category: Japanese
Neighborhood: Gaslamp

One of the best Sushi restaurants in San Diego for atmosphere and great food.  Kiyo-san himself is working behind the bar and keeping his guests entertained.

Kiyo's is located on F Street near 6th, across from the Martini Ranch.  Its location makes it a great opener to a night on the town.

Moderately priced and always excellent.  I highly recommend it!
