Adventures in San Diego

Let's do happy hour at Cucina Enoteca!

Located in Flower Hill Promenade, Cucina Enoteca has a large bar area, happy hour menu, and should be fine for parking at 4p on a Tuesday. Every time we come here, it's a big hit! I love their food here, their pizzas and salads and pasta are all delicious, and the staff is fantastic.

Note they do not take reservations for the bar area, it is first come first served.

Looking forward to seeing you soon. Let's have some fun!

BIG GAY PICNIC: The Gay Outdoors!
Spring has officially sprung, and we’re ready to get hot, sweaty, and just a little dirty — outdoors, of course. This May, Big Gay Picnic is celebrating the season of sun, skin, and mouthwatering sportswear with our most rugged and risqué event yet.
We’re teaming up with the San Diego Armada Rugby Club and the camping cuties from Pride in My Pines to bring you a day of thigh-slapping scrums, tent-pitching flirtation, and nature-themed nonsense. But you don’t have to be a camper or a player to get in on the action — just bring your best spring energy and a taste for mischief.
Expect shirtless sunbathers sprawled across picnic blankets, suspiciously long "hikes" to the trees, and more buns than the grill can handle. There’ll be lawn games that might involve some strategic bending, music that turns the park into a dance floor, and enough spring fever to make even the shyest daffodil bloom.
Whether you're into sports bras or short shorts, eyeing the hottie in hiking boots or the one pitching a tent with suspiciously practiced ease, there’s something here for everyone under the rainbow. Come for the sunshine and stay for the glances, the games, the flirtation, and the fabulous queer chaos that only spring in the park can bring.
🍑 When: Sunday, May 18, 2025, from 11 AM to 3 PM
🍑 Where: Cypress Grove Picnic Area, Balboa Park (aka Gay Beach)
🍑 What to Bring: Your picnic setup, a snack to share, and a fan — because it's about to get HOT.
All are welcome — this is about fun, flirtation, and celebrating the joy of queer bodies, community, and connection. Don’t forget to hydrate... and maybe bring an extra towel
