Neighborhoods To Know And Go: San Diego's North Park

San Diego's beaches get top billing for obvious reasons, but some of the city's best places to hang are offshore, like hipster hub North Park. It used to be a rough place, but then gentrification started and with it came boutiques, cafes and the neighborhood's own restaurant row. North Park gets its hipster cred from its artsy side, with galleries and other cultural institutions calling it home. Centered around University Avenue and 30th Street, the nabe has a central location; it's only 10 minutes away from the beaches and blocks from Balboa Park.

San Diego's Hash House A Go Go Serves A Food Coma With Brunch

Unfortunately, the cell phone isn't included; it's there to show how ginormous the flapjack is.

Head down to San Diego's Hash House a Go Go on a weekend, and you'll see a bunch of starving and hungover folks waiting outside, eager to get in the restaurant for some hearty home-style eats. That's just the way it is and how it will always be at this famous weekend brunch restaurant. Our tip: Avoid the long wait by heading to the Hillcrest eatery during the week. That way you won't have to wait more than an hour to stuff yourself silly with brunch dishes so large you'll have to either share them or risk a food coma for the rest of the day.

Hash House a Go Go, a mix of city and country with metal chairs, old farm photos, and paraphernalia on the walls, churns out food as fun as its name. Of course, you can't go wrong with the namesake house hashes, like the ground turkey with hardwood-smoked bacon, onion and smoked mozzarella or the meatloaf with roasted red peppers, fresh spinach and smoked mozz. But the bigger-than-your-face pancakes are too hard to pass up.
