Cilantro Live

http://cilantrolive.com

Time to get raw. This spacious cafe serves up delicious raw food. Everything is at least vegetarian, with most items being vegan. Nothing is cooked over 95 degrees which ensures that the nutrients won't be cooked away. There's also reading material at every table for your enjoyment.

Cilantro has four locations (check their website for more details). T went to the Chula Vista location which is conveniently located across the street from the gym. =D

A cool place to show-off to your friends how eco-friendly and healthy you are. ;D

Perfect beach hangout. Grab a sandwich, open your laptop and listen to the waves.

Me had her favorite, the Tuna Sprouter (tuna salad, mayo, melted swiss cheese & sprouts) for $5.99

T enjoyed the Chedder Cheese & Tomato grilled panini on Pita bread for $5.99 as well. Also purchased was a thirst quenching iced soy latte. Perfect to sip as you gaze out onto Ocean Beach.

A San Diego classic. Me & T headed to the Living Room in Point Loma. Casual, homey & there's plenty of seating (inside and outside).

Woodstock's Pizza

Don't want to wait an hour and a half for your pizza to be delivered? Looking for a late night hangout with cheap and yummy food? Woodstock's Pizza is for you.

Me & T split an 8" Pesto Primavera pizza on wheat dough. The pizza is made to order right in front of you. The veggies were fresh and it was nice to have a "healthy" option for the pizza dough. Also sampled: pepperoni.

After 10pm bonuses: Buy one pizza (any size) get a second pizza FREE (no coupon needed) & pizza slices are $1.86 + tax. They're open until 1am Thursday through Saturday (otherwise they're open until midnight).

Overall it's a nice option for late night food/hangout.

Take a closer look at this magical drink

A charming restaurant with great atmosphere and a nice view of University Heights, if you sit in the covered patio like we did. The wait staff was very friendly and left you alone to linger. A perfect place to eat on a sunny day, or any day in fact.
