A ’hood that’s too-cool-for-school surrenders to more parks, fewer parking spaces
Looking for green space in North Park? The neighborhood with all the beer is soon to be the place with all the parks, thanks in part to a joint-use field design that’s underway for a corner lot adjacent to McKinley Elementary School. Planners haven’t finished mapping out what the park on Felton Street will look like, but community members are hoping to turn it into another grassy go-to for families. Also on the books is a plan for the city’s first parklet, which planners are hoping to install in front of Caffe Calabria on 30th Street. That means drivers may have to say goodbye to a few parking spaces but hello to a little slice of peaceful green space. — HP
Shelter Island
The New Little Italy?
Because we can’t have just one cool area to eat, drink, and stroll around
With the new promenade finally finished, residents can now walk, bike, or stroll from Shelter Island Drive and Red Sails Inn all the way over to Intrepid Landing and Pizza Nova. The second-floor deck at Point Loma Seafoods is hopping on weekends, and there is more undeveloped restaurant space, primed for someone to come build a big outdoor deck with views of the downtown skyline. There’s also Fathom Bistro Bait and Tackle not too far down the road. What embracing its authentic Italian history did for Little Italy’s retail and restaurant hub, Shelter Island hopes to do with its fishing and sailing culture, new public spaces, and watering holes. Here’s to another desirable local hotspot to hang out in—or move to.

Clairemont Mesa & Kearny Mesa
A Dual-Mesa Makeover
They brake for bike lanes and improved sports fields
Starting this month, Clairemont Mesa will become more pedestrian- and bike-friendly, when councilmember Lorie Zapf puts to use $3.3 million the city has reserved to improve Balboa Avenue. “With Balboa being the gateway to our community, it needs to be safer,” she says of the busy thoroughfare. Stop bars, crosswalk markings, contiguous sidewalks, bike lanes, and bike sensors at stoplights will be added throughout the corridor. Hickman Fields in Kearny Mesa is also getting a face-lift. The plan—available for review by the public this March—will reconfigure the existing baseball and soccer fields to make room for permanent restrooms (no more Port-A-Potties!), paved parking, night lights, and a community pool. An initial $4 million in park funds is being used to develop the plan; the need for additional money will be determined after a plan is adopted. “I’m excited to represent a district so ripe for revitalization,” says Zapf. — CP
Bay Park/Morena/North PB
Where the Dots Start to Connect
Soon the trolley will get you closer to the beach than ever
A desire to live close to the coast and major public transit has never really been an option in San Diego, until now. As the plan progresses to expand the trolley system north to UCSD, the first new stop that will be built after Old Town is right at the base of Bay Park off Morena Boulevard. As the crow flies, that’s just a football field or so away from Mission Bay. A major transit hub, and ocean breezes with a median home price hovering below $500,000? Yeah, that’s hot. And in case you haven’t wandered the ’hood lately, cocktails are flowing at the new Luce Bar + Kitchen, and Bay Park Coffee is the neighborhood gathering place on weekend mornings. Morena Boulevard: It’s not just for Jerome’s anymore.

Encinitas
Encinitas
A Surf Town Grows Up
Defining the new urban village
There’s a lot of new in Encinitas lately, and yet it’s the comfy, mature feel of the ’hood that’s remarkable. First, the new: Said Space pop-up gallery that rotates in artists every so often is causing nearly as much buzz as Native Foods, the long-awaited vegan cafe on El Camino Real. The so on-trend urban winery Solterra is quietly opening soon, while Seaweed and Gravel couldn’t get any more hip with its stock of vintage motorcycle and surf gear. The coffee shop/café scene is growing, too, with Café Ipe (don’t miss live jazz music on Fridays) and the new Lofty Coffee on the 101. But even with all this development, the village vibe along the
101 and the familiar suburban sprawl along El Camino don’t feel compromised.
Oldies-but-goodies like Vigilucci’s and Hansen’s surf shop are thriving, and a
welcome balance to an ever more popular ’burb.
City Heights
Health Check!
The fresh food gospel reaches more citizens
In City Heights, residents are combating two big problems just by keeping their eyes peeled and their feet on the ground: food availability and healthcare. The Monroe Clark Middle School Health & Wellness Center launched late last year, and its model has been cited as an example for the rest of the country to combat childhood and family illnesses. The clinic is open to students and their families, meaning an all-around healthier school experience. Bonus: better attendance (meaning more school funding) and classroom focus. Eat City Heights also focuses on family health, by delivering $15 bags of fresh fruits and vegetables from small farms throughout the neighborhood to low-income households. Who says City Heights has to be a food desert? — HP
Little Italy
Ever More Cool
Just when you think the hip quotient can’t get any higher, this ‘hood edges Northward
Bottlecraft
Bottlecraft
It’s like the gift that keeps on giving… Just when we thought Little Italy couldn’t cram in any more good stuff, our favorite resto, Bencotto, opens a little brother spot next door (Monello!); the popular Mercato moves one street over so it can accommodate even more vendors every Saturday; and an entire new section of the neighborhood launched its own identity: Little Italy North. It’s edgier, more eclectic, and artsy, with galleries, a beer tasting room, a live music venue, and of course, the flagship Harley Davidson store on Kettner.
La Mesa
If You Build It, They Will Come
A new urban winery is about to put the “in” in Inland
The “Jewel of the Hills” just celebrated its 100th birthday last year, and it’s ready to shake things up (and shake things off, like some outdated laws). Enter Mike and Linda McWilliams, who will open La Mesa’s first winery this summer. San Pasqual Winery, now based in Pacific Beach but with a tasting room on La Mesa Boulevard, will move the entire operation to the Jewel of the Hills. The McWilliamses had to appeal to Mayor Madrid, and a whole council, and get an ordinance for zoning laws prohibiting alcohol production, just to allow this winery. (They won’t be growing grapes—they make vintages from grapes harvested in SD County and Baja’s Valle de Guadalupe.) With pioneers like the McWilliamses—and a little help from the mayor—La Mesa can toast to another century, this time with a glass of locally made Chardonnay.

Mission Beach
Mission Beach
On the Boardwalk
A coastal stretch gets a brow-lift
The 88-year-old Mission Beach seawall and boardwalk will finally get some much-needed love with the help of a $700,000 state grant secured by councilman Kevin Faulconer’s office. The money will close a funding gap that has kept the city from being able to make full repairs to the deteriorating landmark. In the same nature-related vein, residents who live near Rose Creek have secured a pledge from their councilman that open space from Marian Bear Memorial Park to Mission Bay Park will stay open. That means more
park-like areas for residents and less fear that the wetlands will be paved to
expand freeways. Green space and an exciting new boardwalk?
You’re looking good, Mission Beach. — HP
La Jolla
Safety First!
A flaw in the jewel will soon be fixed
Lifeguard tower in La Jolla
Lifeguard tower in La Jolla
San Diego has a lot of lifeguard towers. But La Jolla has that Lifeguard Tower: the old one at the Children’s Pool that’s falling apart and has gone unused for five years since it was abandoned. A lack of money has kept it out of operation, leaving it to deteriorate and embarrass many La Jolla locals, who see it as a scourge on their perfect view of the Pacific. Until—they hope—this summer. Demolition of the tower will likely start in June, according to councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s office. The city is still awaiting a few permits but if they come through, a new lifeguard tower should be standing by December 2014. That means residents and the multitudes of La Jolla visitors will finally have their view back. Now if someone could only promise an end to the smelly bird waste on the rocks at La Jolla Cove. — HP
Mission Valley
Mission Valley
Santee to Ocean Beach via Mission Valley
A River Runs Through It
Developers “stream”line plans for Mission Valley
Thanks to the San Diego River Park Master Plan draft, the dream of hiking and biking along the river on one continuous trail from Santee to OB through Mission Valley is materializing. Existing trails will be connected, transforming the river into an SD attraction. “Right now in Mission Valley, it’s hard to see the river unless you’re driving on a bridge,” says Rob Hutsel of the San Diego River Park Foundation. With the economy picking up, he believes interest to develop along the river will re-emerge. If adopted this summer, the plan will ensure developers treat the waterway as an amenity. The city will also be able to apply for local, state, and national funding to design parks along the river and improve existing open spaces, according to councilmember Scott Sherman’s office. “Ideally there’ll be synergy between the river, the wildlife, and the people,” says Hutsel. “Each supports each other. That’s our ultimate goal.” — CP

San Diego Public Market
San Diego Public Market
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve already heard about the Public Market in Barrio Logan. If you keep paying attention, you’ll start hearing even more about the Bread and Salt Factory in Logan Heights. Even before the San Diego Public Market opened on National Avenue late last year, it had community support. A Kickstarter campaign to launch the project helped raise nearly $147,000—a massive jump from the initial $92,000 goal. The operation, spearheaded by Catt White and Dale Steele, is still adding to its vendor list while coming up with new ways to get Barrio Logan residents, as well as those from across the city, through the doors. Despite its name, the Bread and Salt Factory is all about arts and culture. Public Architecture and Planning bought the property on Julian Avenue last year and has set its sights on turning it into the in place to be for arts, crafts, and lovers of both throughout 2013. — HP

Coronado
Coronado
The Creative Class Hideout
The peninsula that feels like an island is churning out some serious talent
Diversity isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when most people think of Coronado, but when you look at the potpourri of creative juices coming out of that island paradise these days, we’d say the populace is downright eclectic. Now, it’s no North Park, but consider that Mrs. Lilien—the cocktail shaker recipe maker and lifestyle guru whom everyone wants to befriend—resides on the island with her hubby and two kids. And then those Orange & Park posters you’re seeing in all the neat neighborhood boutiques, the ones with the beach community graphics printed along the coastal map? They’re the genius of David Klinker and John McCauley, also ’Nado boys. Watch for their new Baja print coming soon. And our favorite might just be the URT squad, with its clever sea lion logo, tide chart t-shirts, and popular series of community events. Oh yeah, Melissa D’Arabian, Food Network star? She lives there, too. And to think it all started with L. Frank Baum, creator of The Wizard of Oz. (Maybe the Del was a model for Emerald City?)

Rancho Bernardo
A Push for Anti-Bullying
Teens make an effort on the local level
“The level of camaraderie that exists among our neighbors is extraordinary,” says councilmember Mark Kersey of District 5. Take the 3V Movement, a nonprofit based in Rancho Bernardo, for example. With Black Mountain and Lake Hodges nearby and access to high schools that outperform state standards in English and science, it might be easy for families in the district to look past the fact that one in five American teens surveyed by the CDC in 2010 were bullied. So, to bring this truth about bullying to light, brothers Alex, 17, and Michael Bulkin, 15, started 3V in 2011 with their friend Dimitar Gougov, 15. Their tenets—Vigilance, Valor, Victory—encourage peers to stand up for, and with, the bullied. “Instead of saying ‘Don’t be a bully,’ we say, ‘Being a bully isn’t cool,’” explains Gougov of their outreach approach. They currently oversee 3V clubs in 15 schools around the county. — CP
Mira Mesa is popping up on more and more Top 10 lists these days, and has an increasing number of people looking its way. Redfin.com recently named Mira Mesa the best place to buy a house in San Diego (based on where the best values and potential benefits are), and San Diego Unified School District’s superintendent recently called out the area as a model for the neighborhood school. About 86 percent of students who live in Mira Mesa attend their neighborhood school, and he says that’s a key reason why the schools there perform so well. Mira Mesa High School has one of the highest API scores in the entire San Diego Unified School District.

“Does great for my chronic pain.”
CBD gummies are easy to take and do not bother my acid reflux. I find that if I space out taking the gummies regularly (like every 4-5 hours), then my chronic pain is helped. Give it a try. I was convinced only THC would help with my pain, but I didn’t like the euphoria. I tried CBDNorth gummies, and they worked just as well for me. Less pain plus a clearer brain equals a happier me.

CBD gummies are a popular and convenient way to consume cannabidiol (CBD), a compound derived from the cannabis plant. Unlike its more well-known counterpart, THC, CBD does not produce a “high” feeling. Instead, it is believed to offer various potential health benefits without the psychoactive effects associated with marijuana.
These gummies are infused with CBD oil extracted from hemp plants. Hemp is a variety of cannabis with low THC levels, making it legal in many places. The CBD in the gummies interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, a complex network of receptors that regulate various physiological processes.
CBD gummies come in multiple flavors, shapes, and concentrations, making them a tasty and discreet option for those seeking to incorporate CBD into their wellness routine.

How to Consume CBD gummies?
Consuming CBD gummies is a simple and enjoyable way to incorporate CBD into your daily routine. Here’s a guide on consuming CBD gummies effectively:
1. Start with Dosage: Determine the appropriate dosage based on your needs and tolerance. Begin with a small dosage, such as one gummy, and slowly increase as needed until you find the optimal dose for your desired effects.
2. Chew Thoroughly: When consuming CBD gummies, chew them thoroughly before swallowing. This helps to break down the gummy and allows for better absorption of the CBD into your bloodstream.
3. Consistent Timing: Incorporate CBD gummies into your daily routine at a consistent time each day. Whether it’s in the morning to kickstart your day or in the evening for relaxation, consistency is key to experiencing the full benefits.
4. Hydration: Drink water before and after consuming CBD gummies. Hydration aids in digestion and can enhance the absorption of CBD into your system, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
5. Observe Effects: Pay attention to how your body responds to CBD gummies. Keep a journal to track any changes in your mood, energy levels, or symptoms. Adjust your dosage or timing as needed to achieve the desired effects.
6. Consultation: If you’re unsure about dosage or usage, consult a healthcare professional or CBD specialist for personalized recommendations. They can provide guidance based on your individual needs and health conditions.
Potential Benefits of CBD Gummies
From relieving pain and anxiety to improving sleep quality and supporting heart health, CBD gummies boast many potential health benefits. Let’s explore these benefits to understand how incorporating CBD gummies into your daily routine can contribute to a happier, healthier lifestyle.
Pain Relief
CBD gummies are renowned for their analgesic properties, making them an effective natural remedy for alleviating various types of pain, including chronic pain conditions like arthritis, migraines, and neuropathic pain.
Anxiety and Stress Reduction
Many users turn to CBD gummies to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress. The calming properties of CBD promote relaxation without the intoxicating effects of THC, making it a safe and effective option for managing stress and anxiety.
Improved Sleep Quality
CBD gummies may offer relief by promoting relaxation and regulating sleep patterns. By interacting with receptors in the brain involved in sleep-wake cycles, CBD can help improve sleep quality and duration.
Anti-inflammatory Effects
Chronic inflammation is linked to various health issues, including autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, and chronic pain conditions. CBD gummies have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce swelling and related symptoms.
Mood Regulation
CBD gummies can positively impact mood and emotional well-being by interacting with neurotransmitter systems involved in mood regulation, such as serotonin and dopamine. By promoting feelings of relaxation and happiness, CBD can help maintain emotional balance and mental clarity.
Skin Health
The topical application of CBD gummies may benefit skin health by reducing inflammation, regulating oil production, and promoting cell turnover. CBD has been shown to help skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis, making it a promising ingredient in skincare products.
Digestive Support
CBD can help regulate digestion and promote gastrointestinal health by interacting with receptors in the gut. CBD gummies may also help with digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and promote overall digestive wellness.
Incorporating CBD gummies into your wellness routine allows you to experience these diverse health benefits and naturally support your overall well-being.
Factors to Consider Before Buying CBD Gummies in Canada
When selecting the best CBD gummies Canada, we recommend you look into the factors mentioned below.
Quality and Source
Opt for CBD gummies derived from organically grown hemp sourced from reputable farms. The quality of the hemp directly influences the potency and effectiveness of the CBD extract used in the gummies. Choose brands prioritizing sustainable farming practices and using clean extraction methods for a pure and potent CBD product.
Potency
The potency of CBD gummies’ potency is significant in determining their effectiveness. Beginners may prefer lower potency options to gauge their tolerance levels, while experienced users may opt for higher concentrations. Finding a balance that matches your needs and desired outcomes is crucial.
Ingredients
Carefully examine the ingredient list of CBD gummies to ensure they contain natural and high-quality components. Avoid products that contain artificial additives, preservatives, or unnecessary fillers. Instead, prioritize brands that use organic ingredients and natural flavors for a healthier and more enjoyable experience.
Third-party Testing
Only purchase CBD gummies from brands that conduct comprehensive third-party testing on their products. These tests should verify the potency, purity, and safety of the CBD extract, assuring that it meets regulatory standards and is free from harmful contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and residual solvents.
Customer Service
Consider the level of customer service the CBD company offers before making a purchase. Look for brands that prioritize customer satisfaction and provide responsive support channels to promptly address inquiries or concerns. A reputable company values its customers’ feedback and strives to deliver exceptional service throughout the purchasing process.
By carefully evaluating these factors, you can make an informed decision and select CBD gummies that meet your expectations regarding quality, potency, and overall satisfaction.
How Do CBD Gummies Work in the System?
Once ingested, CBD gummies pass through the stomach and are broken down by enzymes in the liver. During this process, CBD is released into the bloodstream, interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS).
The ECS is crucial in regulating various functions, including mood, sleep, appetite, pain sensation, and immune response.
CBD can regulate processes such as pain perception, inflammation, and mood. Additionally, CBD has been shown to enhance the body’s natural production of endocannabinoids, further contributing to its therapeutic effects.
Furthermore, CBD is known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anxiolytic, and neuroprotective properties, making it a versatile compound for promoting overall health and well-being. The effects of CBD gummies may take longer to show up as compared to other methods of consumption, as they must first be digested and metabolized before entering the bloodstream. However, once absorbed, the effects can last for several hours, providing long-lasting relief and support.
In short, CBD gummies deliver CBD into the body, where it interacts with the ECS to regulate various physiological functions and promote balance and homeostasis.
Why Should You Try CBD Gummies?
Now that we’ve explored how CBD gummies work in the system let’s delve into why you should consider incorporating them into your wellness routine.
Convenient and Discreet
CBD gummies offer a convenient and discreet way to enjoy the benefits of CBD anytime, anywhere. Whether at home, at work, or on the go, you can simply pop a gummy and experience the calming effects of CBD without drawing attention.
Precise Dosage
With CBD gummies, you can easily control your dosage and tailor it to your specific needs. Each gummy is infused with a precise amount of CBD, allowing for accurate dosing without the guesswork.
Delicious Flavors
Unlike other CBD products that may have a strong hemp taste, CBD gummies come in a variety of delicious flavors. From fruity to sour to sweet, there’s a gummy flavor to suit every palate.
Long-lasting Effects
CBD gummies are ingested orally, allowing for gradual absorption and long-lasting effects. Unlike vaping or sublingual administration, which provide rapid but short-lived effects, CBD gummies provide sustained relief that can last for several hours.
Non-psychotropic
CBD gummies contain negligible amounts of THC, the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. As a result, they won’t produce any intoxicating effects or make you feel “high,” making them suitable for daily use without any issues in regular functioning.
What’s the Difference Between CBD Gummies and CBD Oil?
When comparing CBD gummies to CBD oil, it’s essential to understand the key differences between these two popular forms of CBD consumption.
Firstly, in terms of form, CBD gummies are edible treats infused with CBD oil, while CBD oil is a liquid extract typically administered sublingually using a dropper. This difference impacts factors such as dosage. With gummies, each piece contains a pre-measured amount of CBD, while oil allows for adjustable dosages based on individual needs.
Taste is another differentiating factor. Gummies come in a variety of flavors, masking the earthy taste of CBD oil, which some consumers may not like. We also love gummies for convenience –a discreet and straightforward way to consume CBD on the go, whereas oil requires more careful administration.
Additionally, the onset of effects differs. Gummies may take longer to kick in due to the digestive process, while CBD oil returns faster results.
Finally, potency varies between the two. While gummies provide a consistent dosage per serving, CBD oil may offer higher concentrations of CBD per dose.

The onset of effects from CBD gummies can vary based on factors like metabolism and dosage. Typically, it may take 30 minutes to 2 hours to feel the effects, as the gummies need to be digested before the CBD is absorbed into the bloodstream.
Q4. How Many CBD Gummies Should You Take In A Day?
The ideal dosage of CBD gummies varies based on body weight, tolerance, and desired effects. It’s recommended to start with a smaller dose, such as one gummy, and increase slowly as needed while monitoring the effects and consulting with a medical professional.
Q5. Are CBD Gummies Safe For Everyone?
While CBD gummies are typically said to be safe for most adults, individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking medications should consult with a doctor or medical professional before using them. Additionally, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid CBD products altogether due to potential risks to the fetus or infant.
Q6. What Is The Most Popular Way To Consume CBD?
CBD gummies are among the most popular methods of consuming CBD due to their convenience, discreetness, and ease of use. They offer a tasty and enjoyable way to incorporate CBD into one’s daily wellness routine without the need for specialized equipment or measuring tools.
Conclusion
In conclusion, CBD gummies offer a convenient and enjoyable way to experience the potential benefits of CBD. With their delicious flavors and precise dosages from brands like CBDNorth, consumers can easily incorporate CBD into their wellness routine.
From promoting relaxation and stress relief to helping you manage pain and support overall well-being, CBD gummies have become immensely popular among consumers.
However, it’s essential to choose quality CBD gummies in Canada from reputable brands and consult with a healthcare professional when necessary. If you’re ready to get started with CBD, pick the best from our range, and enjoy the benefits.

Eat With Your Hands At Villa Manila’s Kamayan Dinners
After Covid, I’m still a little squeamish about hitting a buffet with a hundred sneezing strangers, but I’m definitely ready for the resurgence of kamayan Thursday nights at National City’s Villa Manila (which is, naturally, in a strip mall).

After Covid, I’m still a little squeamish about hitting a buffet with a hundred sneezing strangers, but I’m definitely ready for the resurgence of kamayan Thursday nights at National City’s Villa Manila (which is, naturally, in a strip mall). Kayaman, a precolonial Filipino method of eating with your hands, “is a great experience because it promotes community and togetherness,” says James Camanyag, PR marketing director at Villa Manila. Large banana leaves line the table, upon which communal dishes are dumped and devoured without utensils or pretension. It’s not a public buffet—just a way to eat favorites like adobo, daing na bangus (fried milkfish),
lumpia, lechon kawali (pork belly), and more with friends and family. I like to make small rice balls with my right hand, add a bite of tender meat to it with my left, nom, and repeat. That’s the beauty of kamayan: there’s no wrong way to dig in.
Understandably, the practice took a significant hit during the pandemic, but that’s not the first time kamayan has come under attack. “The practice was tolerated during the Spanish period, but it was suppressed during the American Colonial Period when American dining etiquette and the use of spoons and
forks were aggressively promoted,” explains Camanyag. Today, Villa Manila’s kamayan experience is the only one in San Diego that’s regularly available with a reservation. The food is always amazing, but there’s just something about eating with your hands that makes it taste that much better.
Camanyag says first-timers are always welcome, recommending dishes like the spicy bicol express (stewed pork in coconut milk and shrimp paste with jalapeno), kare-kare (a thick peanut stew cooked with oxtail, tripe, beef shank, and more), Shanghai lumpia (Chinese- Filipino fusion pork egg rolls), or the “Sizzling Sisig” (crunchy pork belly and pork ears served on a sizzling plate, fajita-style). Come with clean hands, an empty belly, and a few friends.

Stake Chophouse & Bar isn’t your average steakhouse. Blue Bridge Hospitality’s Coronado outpost is a modern interpretation of a big-city steakhouse nestled in the heart of the small coastal community. The team at Stake has reimagined the whole steakhouse experience. By prioritizing a seasonal farm-to-table sourcing philosophy, a personalized guest experience, and unique service touches, like a formal steak presentation and a bespoke knife selection process, Stake distinguishes itself in a sea of steakhouses.
Exceptional steaks, including Wagyu from Japan, Australia, and the U.S., and fresh seafood flown in daily form the core of Stake’s culinary identity. The menu features a five-course omakase-style steak experience highlighting house favorites, plus an array of cuts, and classic steakhouse staples—think a wedge salad, baked potato, or pasta carbonara—refined for a contemporary palate without losing their traditional appeal. Stake focuses on seasonal sourcing from the region’s best family farms and specialty purveyors, and incorporates intentionally unexpected touches to create something truly unique.
“I challenge our chefs and myself to take it a step further in sourcing,” says Chef Ronnie Schwandt. “It’s important to us to highlight different farms, unique one-off farms—whether it’s cattle, strawberries, a local fisherman or from anywhere in the United States, we’re always trying to find that niche.”
Beyond the menu, Stake emphasizes outstanding service, says Vinny Spatafore, Director of Hospitality Operations. Staff maintains detailed notes, allowing them to remember guests by name, recall previous orders such as a favorite martini (also memorable for the customer since it’s served in an extra tall, distinctly-shaped glass), and celebrate special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries.
“When you have those points of topic that you remember about a guest, they appreciate that,” he says. “Our servers are really good with that—we have a couple servers who have been here since the beginning and they’ll remember somebody from years ago, their name, their kids’ names, where they live. I’m really thankful to have a great front of house staff.”
Award-winning wines, rare whiskeys, special events, and a complementary black car service that provides transportation for guests throughout Coronado add to Stake’s appeal.
Schwandt stresses that Stake offers more than a meal; they aim to give patrons something unforgettable.
“It starts when you walk up the stairs and are greeted by the hostess—that sets the tone for the night. Then you’re greeted by a server, who may know you by name, and can guide you through the menu and curate as they get to know you,” says Schwandt. “Most people leave kind of blown away; they leave feeling like they just had an experience. That’s the goal, right? Whether you’re serving smash burgers or high-end steak, you want somebody to leave thinking, Wow, that was awesome.”

While glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agents have been used to treat Type 2 diabetes for more than 20 years, their recent emergence as weight-loss wonder drugs marked a new frontier in medicine. But their effectiveness has left some patients wondering what to do once they’ve reached their goal. Stopping the medication could mean regaining some, if not all, of the weight. A Scripps Clinic internal medicine physician recently conducted a small study of whether GLP-1 patients who had reached their goal weight could maintain that weight by taking their regularly prescribed injection every other week instead of weekly. Spoiler alert: 30 of 34 patients did. Read more about the study here and what that may mean as pharmaceutical companies roll out oral GLP-1s.
