Have ya been there for their Mardi Gras? Cheese and crackers and holy home grown chit!!! This town can party!!
I've stayed at the Hanalei for years, when I can't afford Humphrey's. I like it-it's peaceful (well, it won't be when we get there!!)and will surprise you!
There's a lot of tiki to see. Kobey's swap meet at the Sports Arena usually has some cool stuff (tiki motel swizzle stick collection-$10.00) Right across from the is TikiLand. Most interesting!! Most all the antique/thrift stores have at least some tiki stuff (I found an old Bali Hi mug a few years back at Cracker Barrel) And a lot of supply places like Solai Bamboo, Palapa Papa's, Tropical Shade, Tropical Thatch (actually over in carlsbad).
Check out roadsidepeek.com and there's a story on tiki in san diego.
In other words, there's more than what you see. It's fun to explore and find the hidden gems! So many yards have tikis hidden in ancient growth. We found one peeking out from a tangle of nasturtiums once and commented to the elderly lady watering how much we liked it. She was shocked- never knew it was there! That was cool!
All in all, SD is TC friendly.
And Cajun friendly (try Mardi Gras, 2/28/06) It'll give you a taste of this towns party abilities and blow your mind!!
And Mexican friendly- Cinco De Mayo- Do they like tiki? I hope so, cuz we're gonna have to share! They'll be at Mexican Cafe and all in Old Town. But check out some of the chiminia tiki's in TJ and Rosarito! They LOVE tiki!!
San Diego gives great party.
