H&M and Urban Outfitters... need I say more? Think trendy hipster... kind of reminds me of Otay Ranch in Chula Vista. For healthy eats & grocery shopping definitely hit up Jimbos. Out with the family? Try Bucca di Beppo. Craving a burger? Hit up the Counter. Good Mexican food? Try Casa de Bandini, although a little on the pricier side. Love that they have a Lululemon athletica & M.A.C. I got a facial before my wedding at Rejeuviné MedSpa and the staff was very friendly and helpful. This place has everything. Definitely a place to go if you're in the North County area.

If you want a cup of coffee, visit the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. When you need to cool off after shopping under the California sun, stop by Coldstone. My favorites are All Lovin' No Oven, Cookie Doughn't You Want Some, and Birthday Cake Remix.

If you do not want to shop but need to get out, The Forum is a nice place to walk around. The architecture is aesthetically pleasing and there are wooden benches throughout the plaza. My kids favorites are the water fountain and the coy pond.

It can get busy and with that, parking can be hard to find or in some cases, hard to do. It is still worth checking out.

Nice little outdoor mall with boutiques, specialty shops, a grocery store and restaurants.

I come here for VS, BB&B, Apple and the restaurants when it is a convenient time or a special occasion. Otherwise, I stay away.

Parking is terrible, esp on weekends and holidays. The drivers can be a little crazy in this pretentious area - So watch
