Try a Taste of Your Neighborhood

Take a walk on a self-guided culinary adventure

Have you wandered around your neighborhood lately and thought to yourself, “Why haven’t I tried that little Italian place around the corner? Or eaten at the diner across the street?”

It can be tough to sample all the scrumptious dining spots in your ‘hood, especially when San Diego’s restaurant scene is blossoming. And besides, who has the time, or the money, to constantly dine out?

Well thanks to “Taste of” events, it’s now relatively easy to try a handful of eateries at once. The best part? The cost of one ticket to sample a variety of foods costs about one the price of one meal. Sweet.
