Film’s Cool
Movies and cocktails—that’s the ticket
The adults-only theaters at Cinépolis lavish customers with plush reclining lounge chairs and in-seat cocktail and food service. Stefanie Holmes sees a piece of the action. She also sees the tear-jerkers, chick flicks and comedies.
Branch Manager
Historic horticulturist plants one on San Diego
To new transplants, Kate Sessions’ name is most associated with the Pacific Beach park that bears her name, but this pioneering horticulturalist’s legacy is much more fertile.
Frozen In Time
The history of the blended margarita
One of the nation’s most popular drinks, the frozen margarita, was invented right here in San Diego. Cheers to Albert Hernandez, who created the gringo favorite in 1947, at La Plaza restaurant in La Jolla.
Feeling hot, hot, haute
Get ready for a scorching summer
Is it spicy-hot or hot-hot? Actually, it’s both…and then some. For your dining enjoyment—and to put a little fire in your belly—this roadmap to Finest City dining makes three stops on the road to culinary heat: Hot, as in spicy; Hot, as in trending (i.e., “OMG, That’s hot!”); and Haute, as in fine-dining (i.e., “You’re using the wrong fork.”)
Creature Comforts
Meet the animals that call San Diego home
Wild parrots, leopard sharks and mountain lions—beyond the confines of Sea World and one of the world’s
most celebrated zoos, these are just a few of the animals that comprise San Diego’s dazzling array of wildlife.
And whether they fly, run, slither or swim, all of our hometown creatures help make life here a little more wild.
Boy Story
Not the same old song and dance
Having had about half an hour to get acquainted in the car, Brandon and Megan are now seated at Lips. They’re talking over drinks as the house lights go down, the music goes up and the emcee announces that a cast of “chicks with dicks” (her words) are about to wow the audience with their unique style of choreographed dance moves and lip sync-ing glamourosity.
Big Breaks
Surfing on the big screen in a quonset hut
Writing a new chapter in surfing history, the inaugural San Diego Surf Film Festival takes place May 11 to 13 at Bird’s Surf Shed, a Quonset hut in Bay Park stuffed with historically significant surfboards and artifacts. Nearly 15 features and 30 shorts will be screened during the three-day festival.
Louis vs. Lipo
To gain L.V.S or lose LBS., that is the question
Dr. Scott Miller says trading in two or three designer handbags can indeed get you the body you want. And these days you can freeze your fat away during your lunch break with a cool-sculpting procedure called Zeltiq
Hoofing it
Horsing around America's finest
From romantic rides through the Temecula vineyards to polo lessons at the San Diego Polo Club, San Diego offers many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors from the back of a horse that don’t require the skills of an accomplished equestrian.
Hawaiian Shirt
No man is an island but I kinda created one
I grabbed my fanny pack, camera and souvenirs, retrieved my shirt out of the hamper and made my way out of there, Michael Corleone-style—you know, after you shoot the guy, walk out fast, but not too fast. Don’t look anybody directly in the eye, but don’t look away, either.
Road Tripping
Adam Carolla Returns to San Diego
Adam Carolla will be making his way from L.A. to San Diego’s Spreckels Theater to do a two-man show with radio personality Dennis Prager. It seems like an odd combination: Prager is an orthodox Jew. Carolla is an unrepentant atheist. But the odd couple approach has worked for Carolla before.
Blinding You With Science
Chula Vista native has the winning formula
Named Playboy’s Miss April 2012, Raquel Pomplun posed with Grammy-nominee Bruno Mars and is one of just a handful of Playmates to appear on the cover with a celebrity. On July 27, she’ll be hosting the San Diego Playboy Scramble, a one-day golf tournament at the Maderas Country Club in Poway.
Editor’s Note: Get Me Outta Here!
Wild'n out with PacificSD's Editor-in-Chief, David Perloff

Big Brother was watching when PacificSD commissioned artist MADSTEEZ to paint a street art project on the stairwell of Vin de Syrah in the Gaslamp. See what went into making the art come to life.
