as far as we’re concerned, big front door stands in the prime location for easy access to all things awesome in san diego. not only are we smack dab in the middle of one of san diego’s hippest neighborhoods, but we’re also adjacent to a number of other incredible neighborhoods that have a ton of cool things going on as well.
north park is one of our faves. in fact, we kinda consider it…ours. you can’t blame us. it’s so close that we often land on lists of restaurants in north park, and a lot of venues in north park land on lists of venues in university heights. and we don’t mind at all. north park feeds our artistic souls. let it feed yours, too. take a look below at some of our favorite things to do in north park.

get artsy at art produce
this gallery is awesome. if you’ve ever tried to walk past without heeding the call of the art beckoning from the large windows, then you understand that resistance is futile.
groove-ify at bird park summer concerts
you can’t beat free outdoor concerts. that’s pretty much the definition of summer, wouldn’t you say? we would.
shop pigment
|
details matter. so when we need rose simple syrup or bourbon cocktails cherries for mixing sexy drinks at home, or when we’re seeking a special piece of jewelry for a birthday gift, or when we’re in dire need of a terrarium for growing pretty things, pigment is our favorite place to go.

dance the night away at queen bee’s
you may be familiar with the art gallery or the spoken word shows at queen bee’s art and cultural center, but did you know you can also get your dance on with salsa and bachata, swing, or cumbia? well, you can. all ages. all levels. pay for the lesson and stay for the party.
party in the pool at hotel lafayette
it goes like this: mid-summer. rent the cabana. invite a few friends. get entertained by the poolside entertainment. jump in. get wet. rock on. period.
frequent the bars. so many bars.

north park is famous for its bars – and for good reason. they are aplenty. and they’re fun bars, with scrumptious drinks, and beautiful people who want something different from the same old, same old that’s offered elsewhere.

jam out at the observatory
the observatory is the music venue every urban neighborhood wishes they had. it’s the kind of place where decades from now, you get to say, “i saw them play the observatory in ’16,” and then rub your fingernails on your leisure suit like a boss because you witnessed history.
and now it’s time to eat!
