FeedWeekly Staff Picks: From Sushi to the Circus
We've been all around the city to bring you this week's picks. Check out a North County bakery, Pacific Beach brunch, and the best downtown parking spot!
Sushi
Solana Beach’s Station Sushi is “radicalness,” according to our staffer. The local standby is located (as the name suggests) near the train station, and across the highway from the always-cool Cedros Avenue. Station has another location in Bird Rock.
125 North Highway 101, Solana Beach
858-481-9800

Brunch
Gringo’s Cantina’s champagne brunch takes place every Sunday. For $19.95 it’s all-you-can-eat, and the champagne flows freely from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (two-hour time limit)
4474 Mission Boulevard, Pacific Beach
858-490-2877

Parking
Park-It-on-Market is the best, most convenient parking in downtown San Diego. In the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, this parking garage features affordable hourly and overnight parking, plenty of open spaces, and a super friendly staff. Note, though, that Part-It-on-Market only accepts cash.
Sixth Avenue and Market Street, downtown
