Menya Ultra Ramen Expanding to Mira Mesa
Kearny Mesa's ultra-popular Menya Ultra Ramen – which has drawn crowds since it opened earlier this year – has announced that it will debut a second location in Mira Mesa. Set to launch by mid-2018, the new branch will feature an expanded menu. Menya hails from Japan and these are the company’s first locations in the United States. The Kearny Mesa location was crowned Eater's Restaurant of the Year. 

Salt & Straw Ice Cream Plans Weekend Pop-Ups
Starting Friday and running through Dec. 18, Portland-based Salt & Straw Ice Cream will be popping up at businesses around San Diego in anticipation of the opening of its storefront in Little Italy. The sweet stops will include Little Italy neighbors James Coffee Co. and Herb & Eatery, as well as Point Loma's Modern Times Beer. The pop-ups will feature the ice cream shop’s most popular flavors. The San Diego location is set to open sometime this month.
