Food Scene
This is my favorite brunch in San Diego. Only catch is they don't take reservations, so often times on the weekends the line can be an hour or more. However, if you go early or on weekdays you should be fine. They are open 7am-3pm.

Famous historic hotel on the island of Coronado across the Coronado bridge from downtown San Diego. The bridge a sight in itself, and the island is a fun upper class area to explore. The beach in Coronado is pristine white sand and the famous hotel overlooks this beach.

Ocean Beach is not far away but you'll need to drive probably. It has a bit more of a hippie feel, but the beach is beautiful. There is a dog beach here, which if you like dogs is an awesome experience in itself.

This dueling piano bar is my favorite place downtown. You can make a reservation if you want to get a table during peak nightlife hours, otherwise it could be a little bit of a line depending on day/time.
