The Weather

The temperate averages around 70 degrees all year, and with rarely any weather besides sunshine, nobody has to plan their activities around the weather. Just go outside and enjoy it.

The Food Scene
Los Angeles may be known as a foodie's dream, but San Diego is right up there with it. With a diverse population and a booming culinary scene, San Diego will fill your belly with every type of cuisine you can imagine, and at every price range.
You don't have to go to a four star restaurant in San Diego to get some of the best food of your life. Some of the best meals we've had have come from beachside shacks, dive bars, and food trucks. Street tacos are king in San Diego, whether you're getting them from a stand near the beach or from the actual street. Cheap, delicious Asian cuisine that you may expect from a basement in New York City or a strip mall in Los Angeles can be find all over San Diego as well. Try Phuong Trang for some of the best pho (beef noodle soup) of your life, at well below $10 a bowl, and thank us later.
If you're looking for a full restaurant experience, San Diego has plenty of that as well. There are Michelin Star Restaurants and James Beard chefs galore in San Diego, all waiting to delight your tastebuds.

The Beer Scene
If you're more into drinking than eating, San Diego is still the place to be. With some of the largest craft breweries as well as some of the most inventive, you're guaranteed to find something delicious to cool off with on a summer day. With plenty of taprooms around the city as well as a plethora of beer bars and craft beer at nearly every local watering hole, finding local beer from San Diego is easy and delicious.
With home to over 150 breweries, choosing your favorite might seem impossible. But we'll try to give you a few to start with, and let you explore from there. If you're looking to experience some of America's favorite breweries right from the source, head over to Ballast Point, renowned for their Sculpin series of IPAs as well as a great lineup of other ales. While they now have locations all over California, it all started in San Diego, and their taproom here is still one of the best. The same goes for Modern Times, who have sent their unique sours and hazy IPAs all across the west coast, but still do it best down here in San Diego.
The People
If you're moving to a new city, you're probably going to want to make new friends. It's only natural to want a city with people that are likeminded and friendly. You'll find that in San Diego.

The people of San Diego are also incredibly laid back and easy to get along with. Maybe it's the nonstop sunshine, or the miles and miles of shoreline.
