Running is my Happy Hour...

...but I also really like happy hours with booze involved too. And, the happy hour week begins tomorrow.

My favorite one of the moment is C Level Lounge in Island Prime Restaurant on Harbor Island Drive. The patio is literally on the water (you can practically touch the huge yachts and sail boats that glide by) and the view includes the downtown skyline -- with all it's embarcaderoness, the Coronado bridge and military base -- directly across the water, and all the way over to the lighthouse on the tip of Point Loma. The view is good, but the happy hour menu is what keeps me coming back (...even though I'm on summer break and don't really have an excuse for happy hours).

All food and drinks on the happy hour menu are $5 each. These are my favorites:

Fried Calamari: They're almost too cute to eat sometimes... but they're too good not to.


Sangria*: Housemade sangria with blackberry brandy & grand marnier. omg.

The Scallywag*: Plymouth gin, lemongrass extract, fresh lime & soda. omg. omg. omg.

*Be careful with these. You'll drink them like soda and then end up napping for hours when you get home. No more than two per person if you want to function afterward.
