next to the San Diego Museum of Art...

We are serving lunch daily from 11-3 (and BRUNCH on Saturday and Sundays, 10-3)

But this Thursday, August 21, we will have the Bar Open till 8pm. And in case you haven't drank in the moonlight of the Park and Museums, it's kinda awesome. Come on by. Note we will not be open this Friday night. So come Thursday!

Also at the Park:

Monday, August 25th is the final Film in the Garden of the season:  Wim Wenders' Until the End of the World. The P66 bar will stay open until 9pm with full bar and some limited sandwiches. No outside alcohol allowed!

And since we are talking Balboa Park we have two very important shout-outs:

SHOUT #1:  Sorolla & America is coming to an end and to celebrate its success the Museum is staying open till 8pm Saturday, August 23 through Tuesday, August 26. This is a super opportunity to catch this breathtaking show "after hours."

SHOUT #2: The Mingei Cafe is opening this week! Those of us working at the Park are looking very forward to getting our lattes and mochas there. They are located behind the Nikki-gator inside the southern most door of the Mingei Museum, of course.

DONUT vs DOUGHNUT

You know how Chef Sharon started making doughnuts every Sunday as part of our Brunch menu. They were vegan, but both omnivores and vegans loved them. She made some news regarding people's love. And then the Cooking Channel called.

Tiger!Tiger! and Panama 66's Executive Chef Sharon Wilson (along with Tiger's Chef de Cuisine Nick Yoder) competed on Donut Showdown on the Cooking Channel and her episode airs next Friday, August 8th at 7pm.

Come join us as we watch the episode on the BIG SCREEN at T!T! and see who won! We honestly don't know! No one but Sharon and Nick know and they ain't telling!

Here is the description of the Ep: A second-generation donut maker from Stanford, Florida, a cafe owner from New Orleans, Louisiana and an executive chef from San Diego, California compete in a speedy elimination round with Strawberry Gelatin as the mystery ingredient. The last two standing compete for $10,000 in a 1950s-themed Donut Showdown.

Maybe we will see you there...

And that's all folks. At least for today... hope to see you round one of our places soon. Stay gold, Ponyboy.
