Discover Pacific Beach is busily putting the final details in place for the Heart of Pacific Beach Restaurant Walk, set for Sept. 14 from 5 to 9 p.m. For $20, walkers can peruse the eastern business district of Pacific Beach, tasting offerings from longtime favorites and newer establishments. The walk is a biannual fundraising event for Discover Pacific Beach. “We are excited. We are counting on this late summer weather to give folks a nice, fall stroll,” said Andy Hanshaw, director of Discover Pacific Beach. Whether participants want to try new restaurants like Woodstock’s Pizza at 1221 Garnet Ave., or revisit favorites such as Café Athena at 1846 Garnet Ave., Discover Pacific Beach encourages all residents and visitors to get out and have fun. The fall restaurant walk will include restaurants mainly on Garnet Avenue between Everts and Lamont streets. However, restaurants are being added daily, so the event’s reach may sprawl outside the main corridor, Hanshaw said. “There’s a good number of eclectic restaurants in that vicinity,” Hanshaw said. Mr. Frosty and Brewley’s Pint are just two of the participants that will boast more than dinner and appetizers. Wines, beers and desserts will be available for curious walkers to taste along the stroll as well. “We look forward to everybody having a good time,” said Declan Roche, general manager of Brewley’s Pint, 1261 Garnet Ave. Kilkenny is a nitrogen-infused Irish cream ale, which will most likely be among the offerings at Brewley’s Pint. The beer is popular in Ireland and was only released into the western U.S. market this year, Roche said. Carol Blomstrom and her son, Kirk, are the proprietors of Lotsa Pasta, 1762 Garnet Ave. Lotsa Pasta has been participating in the restaurant walk from the beginning, Carol said. She said she most enjoys welcoming people into her restaurant who have never been inside. Lotsa Pasta will be serving up tortellini with vodka sauce and the eatery’s famous broccoli salad with raisins, nuts, penne pasta and a sweet, vinegary dressing. The restaurant walk creates a good marketing opportunity for small businesses, Hanshaw said. A couple of the restaurants will offer live music and there will also be wine tasting at Pacific Plaza. The event is family friendly and for all ages, but a valid ID must be shown to taste the alcoholic beverages. “The funds go back into the community to help fund future improvements here in PB,” Hanshaw said. Discover Pacific Beach supports projects in the business district and promote services such as maintenance, cleaning and landscaping. Tickets are available online at www.govavi.com/restaurantwalk. For tickets on the night of the event, participants can visit the Discover Pacific Beach office at 1503 Garnet Ave. or Lotsa Pasta in the Pacific Plaza.
