The annual event, sponsored by Discover Pacific Beach, the local business improvement district, offers diners a chance to sample foods from upward of a dozen PB eateries in a self-guided culinary tour. &#8220;Getting out of the car and walking around the neighborhood its a great opportunity to remind yourself what amazing, diverse restaurants and businesses we have here in PB,&#8221; said Sara Berns, executive director of Discover Pacific Beach. &#8220;Enjoy running into your neighbors while sampling delicious food. \u2026 This event not only supports our local businesses, but proceeds go toward projects that benefit the business district.&#8221; Participants this year include Caf\u00e9 Athena, LaCosa Pizza, Tastee Freeze\/Mr. Frosty, Great News! Cookware, Woodstock\u2019s Pizza, the Tap Room, Costa Brava, Fig Tree Caf\u00e9, and Caf\u00e9 Bella Italia, among others.\u00a0\u00a0 New features for this year\u2019s event include the recently-opened Fish Shop, located at 1775 Garnet Ave. at the corner of Garnet and\u00a0Kendall Street, which will\u00a0host Karl Strauss beer tastings. Live music will be entertaining guests outside of Lotsa Pasta.\u00a0 One ticket allows guests to visit all participating restaurants to try samples of the food and get a feel for the atmosphere. Berns said funds raised from the 15th annual event will go toward programs like street cleanups, the &#8220;Shop Local&#8221; holiday campaign and\u00a0Discover Pacific Beach\u2019s\u00a0signature annual event Pacific Beachfest (Oct. 1), a family-oriented community festival at Mission Beach from Thomas to Felspar streets. Discover Pacific Beach also hosts bi-monthly business networking mixers, which are open to the public. The next such mixer will be held today, Sept. 15 at the office\u00a0complex at 1010 Turquoise St. The Heart of\u00a0Pacific Beach Restaurant Walk\u00a0draws about 500 guests annually, said Berns,\u00a0including a large local crowd. &#8220;It\u2019s a chance to try the restaurant without committing [to a full meal],&#8221; said Niki Morgan, a beach-area resident for more than 22 years, who has enjoyed the local restaurant walks in prior years. &#8220;I also like the community feel; walking around the neighborhood and seeing other people walking. It\u2019s festive.&#8221; Tickets for the Heart of Pacific Beach Restaurant Walk are $20 and may be purchased online at www.govavi.com, or in person at Woodstock\u2019s Pizza, 1221 Garnet Ave.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where yummy meets tummy Revisit your favorite local eateries and try out some exciting new ones\u00a0when the Heart of Pacific Beach Restaurant Walk returns Sept. 20.
