Our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood because they have great food, but also because they treat everyone special. Tell them you are staying at Amy & Eber's airbnb and you will get something special--maybe a free dessert or glass of wine, or...? They will surprise you. But be sure to call for a reservation if you are going on a weekend night.

For Mexican fast food, this place is good, the service friendly. The decor leaves a little to be desired, but it's great for a grab and go.

A great spot to sit and watch the nightlife in our village while enjoying nice wine, a nice dinner of moules frites or chicken dinner. They also have a wonderful sausage burrito for breakfast and more. Coffee to wine. It's indoor/outdoor with lots of space in or out, but you are part of the vibrant South Park experience.

Secret Sister
2215 30th StThe best sourdough! Amazing breakfast, and a wonderful patio.
This is a San Diego landmark. Judy the Beauty's restaurant has been here longer than the sidewalks. The food is all about heading back to the 70s and getting good sandwiches like egg salad and tuna melts. The vibe is a little hippy meets funky. See if you can find your way all the way back to the patio behind the doors behind the cash register. It's a little paradise back there. Also, Whoopie Goldberg used to wash dishes here before she was Hollywood famous. South Park considers this restaurant a landmark. It's only open for breakfast and lunch, and there's live music sometimes on the weekends out front. Plan on smiling while there.

Shopping
Best little shop for all things funky. I buy all my gifts here. Take home souvenirs or buy yourself a great new outfit. They have recently expanded and now include turn-of-the-century furniture and many items for the home. It's fun to walk through and walk down memory lane. Or pick up a rotary phone for your cool home!

This shop is great for gifts, cards, jewelry, furniture, and just fun stuff. It's in the building next to Whistle Stop. Go through the barn doors and find it in the back. Or, if you are at Madeleine's cafe, it's just across the street.
