Date Night in San Diego

Living in San Diego can lead some of us to
default to the typical tourist attractions or
Gaslamp hotspots but, there are places around
San Diego where you can experience the thrill
of the city, without the bore of familiarity.
Change it up and visit these reader favorites
for your next date night…

Cinema Under The Stars, Mission Hills
At “Cinema Under The Stars” you’ll find nothing short of romance.
Seated under the stars, the cool air and giant screen play blissfully
off the twinkling night sky. The films vary from classics to comedies
and all concessions are only $2. One of the biggest draws to this
theatre is it’s movie selection, as seeing classic films such as
Breakfast at Tiffany’s or The Graduate is a rarity at larger Cin-
eplex’s. You buy tickets ahead of time at the box office for around
$15 each and have the option to reserve yourself a “zero-gravity”
seat for extra comfort. Along with these reclining seats, come cozy
blankets which are perfect for snuggling up close to your sweet-
heart. But a word to the wise, get there early because sell-outs are
frequent.

downtown but, it definitely doesn’t feel like it. Located in the Horton
Plaza Mall next to Nordstrom’s, Madhouse features some of the San Diego
biggest comedy acts in the country, as well as local talent during Woman
the week. With a menu of such delicious treats as “garlic infused
tater-tots” and “pulled pork sliders” you will hardly believe you are
here for the jokes. Tickets start at $10 and even major acts typically 49
