There’s no question San Diego is a unique city every day of the year, but during the holiday season, America’s Finest City really comes alive. Whether you’ve got friends in town or you’re simply looking for something new to do, the 92101 ZIP code is packed with all sorts of exciting possibilities. Get your sweet on Got a sweet tooth craving? Then head over to FLUXX and check out its new Sweet Shoppe theme, which runs through December. Decked out in colorful, larger-than-life candy canes and other whimsical confections, FLUXX looks like something out of Willy Wonka — talk about being a kid in a candy store! The theme’s inspiration comes largely from childhood favorites like Hansel and Gretel, Willy Wonka and the board game Candyland. If that doesn’t bring back memories, make sure you check out the FLUXX waitresses. They’ll be the girls dressed in cute costumes peddling candy bracelets and cigarette candy. Remember those? But perhaps the biggest eye candy is the 12-foot Gumball Machine, complete with a FLUXX go-go dancer inside. FLUXX changes its theme about every eight weeks, so if sweet treats aren’t your thing, sit tight. There’s always next time. Not your mamma mia’s pizza Little Italy boasts a smorgasbord of award-winning Italian restaurants but now, foodies can add one more delicious eatery to their list. Davanti Enoteca is a charming new rustic Italian restaurant and wine bar located on India Street. If you’re looking for a place that has good food and an eclectic vibe, this is a great choice. The ambience is inviting and very relaxing, and the heated outdoor patio ensures guests never have to worry about being cold during the winter months. While the menu is extensive and there’s plenty to choose from, you can’t go wrong with any of the pizza choices. For vegetarians, there’s the pizza con funghi e taleggio featuring mushrooms, braised leeks, taleggio and truffle oil. Meat lovers may want to try the pizza con salsiccia e rapini, which has Italian mild sausage, broccoli rabe, garlic, chili oil and fresh mozzarella and tomato. Other popular dishes include mascarpone polenta and ragu of the day, Ligurian-style baked focaccia, seared octopus and oven-roasted wagyu tri tip. Chef Scott Harris said his inspiration for the menu was Italian farmhouses and fishing villages. Davanti Enoteca is the first of three restaurants Harris plans to open in San Diego. His two other restaurants will open later this month in Del Mar. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU Have you noticed those cute little white electric cars buzzing all over downtown?
