Shops & Eats: Retail Therapy + Food

Welcome to Shops & Eats—Your New Favorite Hangout Series!
I am so excited to launch this new series where we’ll explore different shopping hubs and food scenes all over San Diego. These outings are super laid-back; our schedule is totally flexible, so we can keep the party going or wrap it up whenever the group feels like it.
Our first adventure takes us to Fashion Valley to visit the Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar! You might know them for their breezy beach clothes, but their restaurant game is next level. It’s the perfect spot to grab a happy hour drink, grab a bite, and do a little shopping afterward.

Have a suggestion? I want to hear it! If there’s a specific restaurant, style of food, or neighborhood you want to explore next, let me know. 📞 For any questions or details, text me anytime at 760-420-1025.
