👋 Hey, it's Brandon. Welcome to Area 619, your weekly guide to San Diego's best local events and hidden gems—so you never run out of weekend plans.
Good morning, San Diego. Spring has officially hit her chaotic party phase—there's wine swirling, flowers blooming, and at least one avocado-based contest you didn’t know you needed. Whether you're in it for the vibes, the vino, or the vintage Bowie, this weekend’s got something to make your group chat jealous.
In Area 619 today:
🌮 Hillcrest eats + drinks = stretchy pants required
🎨 Bowie glam meets space vibes on stage
🌸 Coronado’s floral flex goes full garden queen
Let’s get to it.
