Food Scene
This is a little known local hangout with very good value for German bratwurst and sausages. The Big John breakfast is such a good value ( with free sausage refills) is a must try before 11am. You will have to get through a German grocery to get there but it is worth it.

This is one of my favorite, great ambience and still family friendly and the food is insanely appetizing. There are several Vigilucci in Carlsbad and Encinitas, this is still my favorite. If you want a more classy set-up, go to the one in Tamarack.

If you arrive during Strawberry season, this is a great place to sample the best tasting strawberries of your life! Go early before it gets hot, check the website for prices but bring some bottled water to clean the strawberries that you can sample in the field.

The little town of Carlsbad, just off Carlsbad Village Drive on the 5, is a great way to roam and walk around. If you are lucky, there may be the annual Village Faire ( timing changes from year to year) but parking can be a problem.
