A luxurious Valentines Day in San Diego
Cafe 21 is the perfect way to start off your day of love. Homemade, homegrown ingredients make for exactly the sustenance youll need for the adventure-for-two ahead. Our pick? Share fresh fare from the Farmers Market plate or try the savory shrimp corn cake and rhubarb pancakes washed down with a signature drink, the Gingermosa.
Linger by the pier
Stroll on down towards Seaport Village and let the sun warm your back. Yes, its February but youre also in Southern California! Peruse the boutiques and novelty shops at the newest downtown addition, The Headquarters at Seaport District. Visit Simply Local Emporium and surprise each other with love tokens from the array of goods designed by local San Diego artists. For more to see, continue onto Seaport Village and walk along the harbor to meet a view of picturesque sailboats. More meandering and you could find yourselves in Little Italy, home of the citys largest Farmers Market (open on Saturdays) and where you will find the best Italian cuisine.
A unique boating experience for two
Time for a break? Head to Loews Coronado Bay and treat yourselves to the ultimate couples experience – the Signature Voga Voyage. The two of you set off on a romantic gondola ride through the cays and are treated to 40-minute massages, complimentary Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. So, rejuvenate and revel in each others company as the sun sets low on the Pacific.
Dine and dance
A lofty 22 stories above the city, ALTITUDE Sky Lounge and its newest addition City Sights, opened at the start of this year, offer sweeping views of the San Diego skyline from a posh and romantic setting. The harbor, Petco Park (home of the San Diego Padres) and the citys Gaslamp Quarter all sparkle from below. Have delicious cocktails and bites, enjoyed from what feels like the top of the world more than appropriate for a couple on cloud nine!
