Let us know your favorite San Diego hangouts!

Wiki MarkupFood! There's a Vons (full service) Grocery about 3 miles from the Sheraton. Here's a \[http://tinyurl.com/cjszw map\] of the route. If you walk, stay on the south side of N. Harbor until you come to the foot bridge, then cross and make your way up Nimitz. We took a taxi back for $5.

There are a couple of parks just west and within a mile or so of the Sheraton on N. Harbor including the Cancer Survivors Park.
