Hillcrest

The gayborhood of San Diego, Hillcrest is a good time all the time and one of the liveliest neighborhoods in the city. Borders Balboa Park to the north so easily accessible after a day in the park.

Walkability: Decent

Parking: Bad

Getting there: Car, bike, bus

Breakfast sandwiches, cinnamon rolls, and smiles.
We have found it. The best carrot cake in San Diego (and possibly the world).
Come for the cheap beer, stay for the poor customer service
