Wife has a med conference and I'm coming in for the tail end of it (fnaaar).
Will have three-year-old in tow.
Staying downtown at Embassy Suites at harbor.
So....anywhere we absolutely have to go eat? Looking for best food locally. We'll have a car.
Zoo is on the list as the Little One looooves zoos.
What else should we do?

If you'll have a day to yourself, rent a Duc and ride Palomar
San Diego wild animal park... Isn't Sea World down there too? I forget, is the wild animal park different from the zoo? :P
-Zoo is good but Sea World is the best "park" in California bar none. (IMO)
-Stay away from Mexico, not safe right now.
-Con wife into watching kid one day so you can sneak off for a Palomar run. I bet there is a bike to be borrowed somewhere down there.
-Can't comment on the food, I'll leave that to a SD local.
-Petco Field is a great place to catch a ballgame.
i dunno which week(end) in may you're comin' but:

The zoo is very hilly, be prepared for some serious walking.
It *is* a very good zoo. :)

I have a black bike and some gear you can borrow if'n you go 4 hours north ;D
unpacked and relaxing with cocktail. room has great view over carrier. I feel bad not being able to take folks up on their bike loan offers. I may break down by sunday afternoon if we don't go sailing, and need to moto...or at least buy moto guys a beer or three.
