Cozy fireside restaurants!
Lamont Street Grill -- tucked-away little spot in PB, right off Lamont St and Grand Ave (hidden behind a green hedge) -- such a cute fireplace inside, plus a roaring one outside on the patio. Very romantic and date-worth or good for special occassion.
Thee Bungalow -- Feelslike eating in an old California Bungalow. Known for great duck, extensive wine list and cozy ambiance. Very quiant and very old-school, fancy restaurant!
Baci Ristorante -- hidden little Italian restaurant off Morena Blvd -- authentic Pasta and seafood dishes, romantic, old-world atmosphere, cozy, glow-y!

Panini Guy at the Little Italy Mercato -- the line is about 20-30 minutes every saturday, but the fresh paninis are worth the wait!http://littleitalysd.com/mercato/home.asp
The Churro Guy -- best warm, fried fresh churros from a street vendor! A lot of controversy surrounding this cart -- used to be at university ave and 35th street, but now has been forced to move down to 25th/imperial ave, due to crowds. Find it! it's worth it!Posted at 07:53 AM | Permalink | Comments (0) | TrackBack (0)
