Great food and the much better downtown version than the Gaslamp. Enjoy lunch here and then walk down to the Star of India and enjoy the Embarcadero.

North Park
More of a hipster vibe, with some great food and music spots.

Sleepy beach town with very cute local shops and dining.

The Gaslamp District
This is the biggest tourist trap in San Diego. Go if it interests you, but don't feel like it is a must do on your trip. I think the beaches offer a lot more than that area. It's best for night life if you decide to venture that way.
