THRILLIST: The Ultimate Guide to Dining in La Jolla

April 18, 2017 mgardiner

Home to gorgeous beaches, luxury shopping, and Mitt Romney’s infamous five-car garage elevator, La Jolla is a playground for the rich and shameless -- its name even translates to English as "The Jewel." That said, this seaside neighborhood's real jewels might just be its … [Read more...]

THRILLIST: Why You Absolutely Need to Take a Trip Down to Tijuana, Mexico

January 20, 2017 mgardiner

Back in the day, when I went to Tijuana I didn't have a guidebook. I just had a friend I'll call Paco, one of my best high school buddies. His last name happened to match that of Tijuana's mayor at the time, and we all used to take his advice on Tijuana. After all, he was, we'd … [Read more...]

THRILLIST: Why Cleveland’s Food Scene is Low-Key One of the Country’s Best and Only Getting Better

January 19, 2017 mgardiner

The fires on the Cuyahoga River have long since been put out. Not, mind you, before they burned through Cleveland’s psyche and economy, leaving behind a shell of a once-great city with little in the way of hope, and a nation only too happy to laugh about its downfall. What had … [Read more...]

THRILLIST: San Diego’s 10 Best Neighborhoods for Dining Out, Ranked

October 18, 2016 mgardiner

San Diego’s city fathers and mothers (not to mention planners) are keen on telling us that ours is a “City of Neighborhoods.” They lied when they said it, and they lie now. San Diego is not a city of neighborhoods, never was, and cannot be for many reasons: Southern California … [Read more...]
