Staying in North Park Guidebook by Sara France
Food Scene
We love our neighborhood for a lot of reasons, but being able to walk to all these amazing restaurants and bars is one of them! We lived in this house off and on for 20 years so we have tested out most of the local spots and wanted to share our favs with you!
This is a great local sushi spot. Not the nicest place in town but good sushi and walking distance from the house. It is our favorite spot when we are craving sushi. My favorite is the Leo Love you Long Time.

Best Mexican within walking distance. GREAT Tacos but watch out, they are really big. The menu is simple and the Tequila menu is twice the size of the food menu. The Margaritas are fantastic. Really we go there for the Tequila and the food is a bonus. Rough to have kids at this place though. Just and FYI.

Entertainment & Activities
The zoo is great. Sometimes they keep it open late during the summer and that is my favorite time to go. Afternoon and into the evening. Cooler, and the animals seem more active.
