Great Hong-Kong Chinese at both "Jasmine" and "Emerald" on Convoy Blvd.

The best hamburger & Greek chicken is at Western Steakburger on University
in North Park. Good, cheap eats.

The only real deli's in town are DZ Akins in La Mesa, and Herschel's in
Encinitas. Milton's in Del Mar is very good, too.

Have lived here for over 25 years, & STILL struggle to offer good
suggestions to anybody who asks. LOTS of mediocrity prevails. By all
means, avoid the Gaslamp district, Downtown for anything but lunch & a nice
walk.
