Urban Turban: Swinging India Hits Downtown
Was heading down 4th Avenue when I noticed something had changed. Joey’s BBQ had become Urban India (1041 4th Avenue, 619-238-8380). This was about eight at night and I just needed a snack. Ho-kay. Why not an Indian snack? http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/apr/27/23566/ …

Caroline's Seaside Cafe
There are few things more pleasant in life than sitting by the ocean with your partner and enjoying an impromptu meal. And the view at Caroline’s Seaside Café in La Jolla couldn’t be more beautiful. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/apr/25/23512/ Located on the UCSD …
Fast Food? Fast Pho-ward!
Just come from a Big 5, Southland Plaza, Palm City. Got me a pair of $18 shoes. Can’t beat ’em. Ten minutes to catch the 933. Promised Carla I'd bring home a meal. This is eight at night. Humping back …
Scoreboard: Pigs Do Fly...In IB
Pigs’ wings? In the real world, fuggedaboutit. But we’re here in IB, where anything is possible. So Joe the owner is standing behind the blue bar counter, and Pia the waitress is leaning on the stool beside me, waiting for …
A Cool Beer Event Learned About at a Cool Beer Event
This weekend, while taking in Stone Brewing Co.’s annual ode to rare wood-aged brews, Oakquinox, I ran into a well-known figure in San Diego beer enthusiast circles. Her name is Vicki Davis and her visibility in the local scene has …
Sweet-Filled Asian Confections Beckon You at Pangea Bakery Cafe
I tried acupuncture for the time recently. I was told that it would alleviate pain and help make me as relaxed as a wet noodle. Yeah, not so much. Unless, that is, you call relaxation 30 minutes of jolting pain …
Coming Attractions: Hillcrest Brewing Company
It’s getting to the point where seeing a San Diego neighborhood without a brewery is an oddity akin to finding one without a taco shop. Such glaring voids are being filled at a rapid clip. One community that’s about to …
Kathy’s Place: How to Blow a Perfectly Cheap Meal
“Should we?” This is Carla. We’re standing outside the doors of Kathy’s Place, the in-house cafeteria at Sharp Coronado Hospital (sometimes called Sharp Coronado Cafe, 250 Prospect Place, 619-522-3600). Carla’s here to get a check on that elbow she twisted …

Koon Thai Kitchen
Koon Thai Kitchen is a fairly recent addition to the Convoy Street scene, taking over the space vacated by the old Curry House. The sleek new look is contemporary and inviting. Blond wood tables play warmly off the dark walls …
Monkey Paw Pub: Yes You Can Can
What’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Perhaps a can of Monkey Paw beer. Hard to know at this point, since that beer is currently only available at the East Village’s Monkey Paw Pub and Brewery and a small …
Town’s Unfriendliest Patio?
The patio guard rail reminds you of the old bumper sticker: “Welcome to California. Now Go Home.” This arty rusty Stalag-13-style “fence” looks like it’s made to keep people in, rather than keep the rest of us out. http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/apr/23/23359/ Actually …
