Mission San Diego de Alcala Tour + Exploring Grantville - San Diego Travel Guide

[@momcation9786]

A lot of special occasions and Christmas midnight mass memories with you, your Dad, Gelo, my Mom and Dad in this church. Mission San Diego de Alcala has a very special place in my heart! Thank you for filming the Church!

[@Jaycation]

Really good place!

[@jasonhbush]

If you get time do a video on the Mission in Oceanside. It’s one the best preserved in the state.

[@Jaycation]

Hey Jason! Funny enough, i always skip that Mission until i learned about it a few months back. I plan to visit it for the North County hidden gems video im about to film... any other suggestions for North County gems?

[@Lee-iy6ey]

@jaycation The self realization temple is a great gem in Encinitas, also jeune et Jolie in Carlsbad for French food, the atmosphere and aesthetic of the restaurant, the French soul funk music they play, one of my favorite restaurants in all of sd. They even have an absinthe spout. Also handels ice cream for sure in carlsbad. Try the Graham central station flavor or oreo dough. Sunshine mountain Vineyard for wine in San Marcos, Small cool vineyard in San Marcos, who woulda thought.

[@jasonhbush]

A farmers market tour would be really nice. There are so many with such great food and unique local vendors.

[@Jaycation]

@@jasonhbush good call on the farmers markets!

[@Jaycation]

@@Lee-iy6ey i heard that place has amazing french onion soup... handels is a staple! Self realization gardens are closed right now otherwise id cover it! Hopefully sometime soon!

[@Lee-iy6ey]

Yes Philly franks is the best cheesesteak on the west coast hands down. I've had Jims steaks in Philly, and Max's, and yes both are fire , but I think philly franks is up there with the best of Philly

[@Jaycation]

I'm glad you agree Leroy! I'll do a stand alone video on Philly Franks sometime. They're really nice over there. I'll get all the Philly folks talking about best philly cheesesteaks outside of philly haha!

[@dianeadams353]

Wow, this video was so wonderful because of the personal connection you have to the area! The Church, the cheesesteaks, and the post office were all so sweet! Loved this look at Grantville!💙

[@Jaycation]

Thanks Diane! I didn't realize how much time i spent at Grantville all these years

[@mik31995182]

Thanks for all the cool videos, I’ve been living in SD since July and feel like I’ve missed so much cool stuff! Funny enough I took a seasonal UPS job during the holidays and would deliver in the village apartments lol

[@Jaycation]

Thanks for watching Michael! I still remember when those apartments was called la mirage. Alot of my coworkers lived there. More SD vids to come!

[@LookWhosBlogging]

Oh cool. When we went the outdoor mass just ended. Hey, we went to that Philly Cheesesteaks place too afterwards! We first went to the other location near Sea World a couple years ago.

[@Jaycation]

I didn't realize visiting the Mission then getting Philly cheesesteaks was something other people do! haha

[@johnroberts2012]

This is the most value video out there

[@Jaycation]

Much appreciated John!

[@IronMkT682]

The swinging friar is the best mascot hands down. Best haircut too lol!

[@Jaycation]

haha i agree! Love the friar... funny enough i lean to the SD logo though. His hair cut is timeless!

[@brooklynwilson_]

Love all the white, so aesthetic! This was so informative, well filmed, and edited!

[@Jaycation]

Such a beautiful spot in SD! Thanks, i appreciate it!, Trying to improve in all aspects!

[@ThePipeiper]

Oh, and top ten parks of Diego. Solana Beach (include the beach) and Cedros Ave. Don't forget Clair's. It's amazing food.

[@Jaycation]

Great idea with the parks! I have a Solana Beach video at Flechers cove and Cedros, check it out!

[@annegraheck5713]

Thanks for including East country and Grantville. Often overlooked. Iowa beef 🥩 is hands down the best premier butcher shop for beef, veal, pork, free range chicken. They also have fresh fish when the local boats and wholesalers supply.

[@Jaycation]

Had to show Grantville and East county some love Anne! Will continue to do so!

[@Armoffline]

Hey man just discovered you, Mira Mesa local here! Love all your content on San Diego. If you have the time i feel that a feature or top 10 of all the good food spots in Convoy would be cool to cover. Keep it up!

[@Jaycation]

Hi Arman! Shout out to a fellow Mira Mesan! Convoy video is definitely in the works. Thanks for the support!

[@PenniP]

Grew up in Tierrasanta/Murphy Canyon, I went to CCD at the Mission. 🙂

[@katrinasevilla285]

Would love to see your wedding there!

[@Jaycation]

How about having your baby baptized there first! haha!

[@ThePipeiper]

Do Julian for the apple pie. The best Pho places in Diego. All the delicious restaurants on Convoy and their happy hours. And do like a Cowles mountain hike / Q&A where you answer people's posted questions while hiking Cowles ( or any hike in Diego. La Jolla Shores is poppin). Love your content man! I miss San Diego!!!!

[@Jaycation]

I love Mom's Apple Pie! Pho Cali is my go-to here in MM. Convoy is in the works! Thanks for watching!

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job jay

[@Jaycation]

Your the man Adam!

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

I know I am jay

[@filipbinek5757]

Have you been to Chicago Bros Pizzeria? It looks really good!

[@Jaycation]

not yet! ill try it sometime! Have you had regents pizza? Great deep dish!

[@filipbinek5757]

I wish I could be in San Diego and try it out.

[@josealcala582]

Good video!

[@tortoisewhisperer1580]

"didacus of Alcala" , later canonized and is known as Saint Didacus, checkout St. Didacus church on Felton Street in Normal Heights if you ever visit there.....the church is an old spanish style architecture. The school of St. Didacus is also on Felton but over on the other side of Adams avenue south of the church....

[@Jaycation]

wow i just looked up that church! definitely will check it out when i check out Normal Heights. Thanks!

[@mjc2624]

Terrific sushi and ramen @ Jump Tokyo near Gaglione Bros. We lost Black Angus Restaurant for In & Out. Just what we don't need - another fast food spot. Ugh!

[@TrevorHawkes1117]

As a native to the Allied Gardens/ San Carlos/ Del Cerro area I was personally disappointed to not see Taco Fiesta on your top five lists, and then you drove right by it in this video! That spot is great IMO and their carne asada fries would win a top five contest.

[@Jaycation]

its a good spot. just haven't been there in a while. No need to be disapointed, just let everyone know on here why its worth being top 5! Everyone's list will be different

[@TrevorHawkes1117]

@@Jaycation no worries I'm not really criticizing as much as I'm just always in support of my taco stand.

[@Jaycation]

@@TrevorHawkes1117 nice! Gotta show love. I used to go to Taco Fiesta alot in College and my beginning days working at the chargers. Love it.

[@Altimit105]

Ey bro, you forgot about Chicago Bros Sushi Diner 2 and S3 coffee

[@Jaycation]

I think i had sushi dinner a long time ago. Nice

[@lilyyummy]

I think missions should not be public places of worship or romanticized as a beautiful place to visit. I don’t think ppl understand that these places although we’re made for religious practices ultimately became “prisons” where Native Americans were slaves forced out of their beliefs, customs and lives, basically choosing death if they fought for their beliefs.
