lssg Posted September 1, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I just booked the holiday inn san diego on the bay and was wondering if there is a store or grocery store close by to buy wine before we go on our cruise? Is there any good bakery or coffee shop within walking distance? Has anyone eaten breakfast at this hotel? any help you can provide is greatly appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted September 2, 2011 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Breakfast there is OK, not great. If you want to take a walk, or a pedicab, you could go to Cafe 222 in the Gaslamp Quarter (great breakfasts), Brian's 24, or Richard Walker's from there. You are fairly easy walking distance to Little Italy where there are several great bakeries, including Extraordinary Desserts (which I believe has breakfast too). Lots of good places to eat all along India Street in that area. There is a RiteAide drug store about 2 blocks from the hotel on Ash. It is the closest drug store and sells wine, liquor, water and sodas. A better selection of wine is at Trader Joe's in the Liberty Station complex, but that would require a cab ride or taking the city bus. There are also several good places for wine in the Gaslamp Quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted September 2, 2011 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2011 There is also a large Ralphs Supermarket at 101 G Street in the gaslamp area. Our supermarkets and pharmacies all carry both wine and hard liquor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are staying at this same hotel. I was trying to figure out the best way to get to Ralph's. I had no idea that Rite-Aid also carried liquor. One question - I would like to purchase Pineapple juice to take with us on the cruise - does Rite-Aid also carry this? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
